    789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu and his deserts

    Hello my venerable, vehement voidsent friends! How's the localisation work today?

    Just an issue with the kobold beastmen daily, Belle of the Ball. 789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu says this after you complete the quest:

    "Just deserts, deserved and delivered! May Zo Ga singe his arse on what's left of the wain, yes, yes!"

    It is an interesting kobold saying, just deserts. But I can't help but feel that it is meant to be dessert?

    Also as an aside, during this quest, when you are placing the coals on the digger, a message pops up across the screen saying something along the lines of "two kobold priests are attacking you." However, this is only true once you blow up the digger - before that, only one kobold patrolman appears for each of the coals.

    I love you!~

    Good eye, but "desert" in this case is correct. This definition of desert means "a deserved punishment". Unlike the other meaning of desert, which ultimately comes from the latin word "to abandon", this meaning comes from the Old French for "to deserve".

    As for the second part... yeah. That confused me the first time, and I do hope that gets corrected. Invisible ghost priests are a freaky concept.

    Thanks! I guess this mistake was mine upon further research and I have learned something. A lot of modern texts use "dessert" because of the pronunciation but "desert" would be the correct spelling! However ghost priests are scary.
