    Typo in Quest: 80 - Futures Rewritten

    Y'shtola: No sooner do we overcome one problem than another appears. It would all seem tediously predictable but for the endless variety of our foes. This Fandaniel sounds even more unhinged than his patron.

    First sentence uses 'than' where it should be 'then'

    It's actually grammatically correct. I get what you're saying, but "no sooner --- than" is an actual phrase structure. It's hard to describe, but it's essentially saying "this happened no sooner than this". It implies the events happened at nearly the same time, or one immediately following another.

    I concur with Darkstride. This is a transposition of "No sooner than we overcome one problem another appears".
