A new line would be well though if the speech is a long one. And the overall description of someone's moods should be in plain text as well unless it's an inner monologue?
Well yes, I think using the quotation marks for direct speech and italics for inner thoughts is a generally used way to express these things. It will surely help to make one's posts easier to read. And, also bolding each other's names (character names, that is) should be done as well, like in normal WW games - for easier orientation.

Although this game is connected with in-character posting, you don't need to worry about it that much. The main purpose is to have fun. But your post is very good, I'd say, so you don't have to worry about anything. Except, one little thing, Saruman is no longer around, so not sure if Théodred can glare at him still
