Long comments or questions should be sent to the original thread.  All speech should be in "quotation marks" and all thoughts should be italicized.  You may use colors, if you wish, just make sure that you choose a color that will be fairly easy to read off a black background.If your characters run across something in a foreign language, I will note it like this:  [Language] - "spoiler text"  (The spoiler text will be invisible unless highlighted, of course.  Any characters who speak the appropriate language or are under the effects of an appropriate spell may highlight and read the text--others should ignore it.)  Use the same technique if you wish to have your character say something in any language other than Common.I'll also use spoiler text for messages that are intended for one or two characters only, generally in relation to skill checks.  Same format as the language thing: [Character] - "spoiler text"Here's some examples:The frost giant looks at you, grimaces, and says [Giant] - [SPOILER]"Ye've no place in my lands, small warm ones!  Leave now, a'fore I commences pummelling!"[/SPOILER]The strange purple lightning dances up and down the sail lines, terrifying the crew.  [Aalin] - [SPOILER]"Knowledge (arcana): you believe that the lightning is, in fact, a harmless non-magical display."[/SPOILER]----------Valthirond, once a portal trade city, a pearl in Breland, is now little more than a decaying lightning rail station and a few rotting docks. No one plans to stop in Vathirond anymore, and the loners that do come and go with their own reasons. Silence wraps everyone in Vathirond, and her residents hope that this will keep them proof against the straying mists of the Mournland.  You step off of the lightning rail coach; fools stare at you in wonder through the dirty windows, wiser ones ignore your departure. A shrill wind, angry and futile, whips about a creaking and broken sign, suicidally hanging by chain, denoting the forgotten pearl of Breland. The upset vapors and the bemoaning sign are your only greeters; you, like everyone else in Valthirond, are now alone. Your silent moment, as you gather your belongings and ignore the slither of the rail coaches behind you, is shattered by an antithetical movement out of the corner of your eye. Maybe you aren't so alone after all.</blockquote>
