RE: certain words will not work with sets and maps

I tested your bot, and the issue is that you had set "a living thing" and "living thing" as compound words. This caused it to match your * pattern before the living thing pattern.

I fixed the issue by removing the compound words.

I also found an invalid category in your script,

<category>
<srai>what hour is it</srai> 
<pattern>*</pattern>
<template>wait here.walks away down the hallway.comes back 30 minutes.here is your <star/> on a tray.</template>
</category>

"srai" is not a valid tag, perhaps you meant "that"?

We will investigate the pattern issue with compound words.
