Thanks so much for continuing translating. It's always great to read these.
I really enjoy Chris' teasing Shannon :)
Go, Winnia, she's grown so much.
I think "pore" conveys it well.

"none of 'em do a damn thing to that monster"
I thought "none" usually is treated as singular, no?

"...with faces, faces large, faces small, faces of every size . . ."
Shouldn't it be "large faces, small faces"?

What a place to stop!!! Thanks goodness, I already watched the anime, otherwise, this cliff will kill me :P
