3856042 I know I asked this on your previous chapter but do you still need another editor?
Run on sentence. Should be:
"However, I did not fancy the short rather unassuming building in front of me." Note the comma after the however. It is there because the rest of the sentence is unchanged if you delete the however, thus making it an independent clause which should be separated from the remainder by a comma. The same is true for most sentences that begin with "But," and "Yet," and other words that indicate a change of thought direction, The period is there because the sentence is a complete thought.
"I was trained in long range.
Again, this is a complete thought and can be separated into its own sentence to make reading easier.
"Yet, over the past few weeks, we've been going into narrow corridors . . . "
"over the past few weeks" is a dependent clause because it can be removed from the sentence without harming it. It is there merely to qualify a time period.
"... we've been going into narrow corridors, with up close and personal ranges of combat, far more than I should of been."
I replaced the first "and" with "with" because two "and"s in a sentence are ALWAYS awkward and should be avoided when possible. notice, also, that the dependent clause is again separated with commas.
Stores is plural, meaning was should be were: "Luckily, however, my stores of magic were near..." Note also that the however is set off by commas as it is an alteration of the thought being expressed.
Note: as rule of thumb, almost every sentence that is LONGER than your screen width (using 10pt font) when writing is TOO long and needs to be either shortened or made into multiple sentences.
Second note: action scenes have more impact when they are short sentences. The brain parses short sentences faster than long sentences, so an action scene with long sentences takes longer for the reader to parse the sentences, thus removing some of the urgency from the scene.
