All OOC information that you need to tell me put at the end of your post in bracket like this:[OOC: Diplomacy +10 to try to calm him down]Of course the role-playing version of that would be further up the post, but if you need any rolls made, just make me aware of them. Also, please put your race, class, character name, and whatnot in the title of your posts so everyone doesn't have to keep running to the Rogue's Gallery to figure our who everyone is. Thoughts go in italics, speaking in "quotes," and actions go in *asterisks.* If you wish to use different colors for thoughts and speech, you may, but it must be light enough for me to read.Occasionally I'll be making use of the spoiler tags. If you see a blank spot in a paragraph or something, like this [spoiler]this is an example of spoiler text[/spoiler], please don't highlight it until you read the end of the post and get my recommendations as to who is supposed to read it.---Ah Freeport, the City of Adventure! Home to pirates and desperate chaps, of violence and intrigue, of cherished hopes and broken dreams. Oh its streets you’ll find amazing wealth and grinding poverty, benevolent priests and black-hearted cultist, honest merchant and two-timing thieves. Called the ‘Crossroads of the World’. Freeport is a stopping point for merchant fleets, home base for squadrons of privateers, and frequent port of call to renegade pirates. It’s a chaotic melting pot where gold is king and life is cheap. And for thousands of souls it’s home.It has been a long and hot summer in the city of adventure, and tempers have run even hotter. There is yet no Sea Lord over Freeport, and the Captains Council is deadlocked. The rainy season is just barely starting… most of the time storm clouds blow in and it rains in the early evenings. With in a month or so the monsoon season will start but until then, most the storms are pretty mild. On the mainland, a war of sorts is brewing between the elves of the Tir na Quin and Northolt. Privateers have been flocking to the city of Freeport as in the past with all other wars; the Freeport Admiralty issues ‘Letters of Marquee’ (essentially renting out Freeport’s buccaneers to do what they do best on behalf of another country). But with the strife in the Captains Council, the Admiralty has stopped issuing the revenue-generating Letters.  Orcs have streamed into the city in ever-larger numbers to assist in the refurbishing of Milton’s Folly, and the natives are not happy having that many savage humanoids swarming the streets, particularly ones who work for cut-rate wages. Our story begins on a sunny afternoon, down at the docks of Scurvytown...</blockquote>
