Added an English description for the blue dragon scale mail 'Elemental of Ching-Rong'.

Added an English description of the long sword 'Gurenki'. From www-personal.umich.edu/~weyrbrat/fanfic/anime/novels/tsurugi.html , I'm guessing it is a reference to the light novel, Hayou no Tsurugi, so the description uses the color mentioned in Google Translate's result for the Japanese description and an allusion to it's demon-killing prowess (mentioned in that website summarizing Hayou no Tsurugi and implied by the KILL_DEMON | ESP_DEMON flags).

Except for the apotoxin kobold, modified the English descriptions for the second tier of elemental kobolds to emphasize something about the physical appearance and not adhere strictly to the content of the Japanese description.
