Uhm. Maybe you could leave Edmond's thoughts uncolored so that they're distinguishable from his speech. Italics vs non-italics is pretty easy to miss. Quote marks could help too.

No problem, I'll change the color to something darker or lighter, but still teal-like. And put it in italics.

Two different colors doesn't really help if there's no indication of which is for which purpose; same for italics vs non-italics.

Well, I don't know what to say. Either learn to do it within context of this thread or start player/GM poll so we make standard for such differences...

How do you do it?

EDIT: I don't want to argue over littlematters. I'll change to no-color quoted text for thoughts

Personally, I'd use quote marks around spoken text, and have thought text as uncoloured, italic text.

I just leave Dj'hân's thoughts uncolored, though I do italicize them. I also put his speech in quotation marks.

Street knowledge

Where is that street on the map of Korvosa? I cannot find it in CotCT PHB map

BTW, just out of curiosity, how goes Alpha group? I don't want to look for fear of spoilers, but I cannot help but be curious. Are they faster, slower, dealt better with Lamm etc etc

Spoilers? Heh. Not much to worry about there. As of last Friday the Alpha group is still caught up in their initial confrontation with Gaedron Lamm. Their dwarf just dispatched Gobbleguts but Lamm has still got plenty of fight left in him.

Check the first post of this thread, I update the map whenever a new location crops up in the adventure.

As for the Alphas. not sure how many are still engaged in that game but as Ambrus says they're still confronting Lamm. Gobbleguts got killed by a single critical in both games.

So are we ready to proceed with our covert assault upon All the World's Meats?

I'm just wondering where we're at. Dj'hân is all set to go scout out the old butcher shop.

Anyone seen high or low of Valthosian? Should we count him out of the campaign for the time being? Seems that this would be a good opportunity to have Thorson depart the group; he can claim his share of the reward from the Queen and, having gotten his revenge on Lamm and having no interest in further employment, bids the others good luck as he takes his leave of the group. If Valthosian comes back later we can always have Thorson join up with the group again at a later date.

I was thinking along the same lines. I'll try PMing Valthosian, but he doesn't seem to have been on for weeks.

Might also be a good time to see if we want to recruit anyone else.

I just wanted to reassure everyone that, in spite of my unusual silence over in the in-game thread, I'm still following along. It's just that, with the vague details concerning the party's current whereabouts and with Edward, a handful of orphans and Lynn performing reconnaissance on the butcher shop, I don't know what to have Dj'hân say or do until we're all back together with the results of their efforts known.

I'm here too, I was off for a little bit as mail notifications stopped for some reason. Edmond waits Edwards report, but not return of any urchins (as they are not realy scouting)

I think we are ready to go. As I see it, it wouldn't realy be problem storming in, it would be dealing with the riff-raff that gets free meat and probably won't be happy by taking their benefactor captive. And we shouldn't kill them if can avoid it.

Edward's report is up - the ball is now kind of in your guys court. Do you want to keep surveillance for another day or so, or head in as soon as possible?

On other news, I've PMed Valthosian, no reply for over a week. I'll assume that Thorson declined joining the guard (not really his character). If you want some extra muscle, I'll advertise for another player although I'm happy to continue with three for the moment, see how you get on. The Alphas are happy doing there own thing, it would seem

Is Lynn going to tell the others what she's found and her opinion on how to proceed?
