Comments: Awesome thread, you two! So much excitement with Kar. You had me on the edge of my seat! I really enjoyed Patrick's attempts to protect himself, as well as Rei's well-timed rescue. I also appreciated that both characters struggled and did not immediately succeed in their goal of escaping Kar. This is realistic to both Kar's skillset as a Lightning Knight and your own characters' skill levels. Nicely done!

Patrick, please look for opportunities to use periods instead of commas. There were a number of sentences in your posts that needed a full stop, but a comma was used instead. I’ve mentioned this in previous reviews as well, so I’ve gone ahead and deducted a point for structure. I would encourage you to keep an eye on this in future. If you’re unsure what I’m referring to, shoot me a PM. I’d be happy to give you a some examples.

Rei, when a different character is speaking (for example, in your first post and your last post), please ensure you start a new paragraph for their dialogue. I didn’t deduct any points for this particular thread because I haven’t commented on this for you before, but I would encourage you to make these changes in future threads to avoid losing points in Structure. Also, a quick note about the skill knowledge I awarded: you had a number of unarmed combat and medical knowledges already, so I only awarded what new ones I could find.

Overall, a great end to the first act of the "Kar saga". It's been a pleasure following this storyline, and I look forward to his inevitable attempts at revenge! If you would like a public bounty to be posted for Kar, please shoot me a quick PM and give me the okay. Otherwise, we'll assume that the Lightning Knights are conducting their own internal investigation.

If you feel I've missed anything or if you have questions about your review, please don't hesitate to send me a quick PM. Thanks!
