However you want to? It's in RP so whatever and however you want. Unless you meant, how to describe yourself doing actions in RP? Then you'd use asterisks around your description.

NPC will often hallucinate things with their quests, so don't take them too seriously. You can go and perform the request to the best of your ability, or you can just say you did it, and they'll likely believe you. If you get a quest that seems mechanically impossible for you to do as the player, like your request, you can use RP to give a brief montage description of your character performing the actions over however many hours, getting the request done, and coming back to the NPC to continue the conversation. You might even get rewarded for it.

Just realize that not everything that happens in RP can be reflected mechanically in game. If they promised a reward, they might say they did in RP, but you'll get nothing. Though they aren't too bad about that, it still happens. Save beforehand and reload if you really want the item/gold.

Ah, see I wasn't sure how to describe my character SPECIFICALLY doing actions and was just typing, for example.


I grab the offered axe and nod my head. "I understand, I'll be back after I finish with the wood!" Having said that. I turned to leave, not expecting a response or any follow up instructions. 


Using just Double quotes to handle text and then leaving actions blank. As though I were RPing in something like F-list or Furcadia or another RP site. Not used Asterisks for a while, I'd definitely have that noted in a read-me or FAQ if that's intended.

No game needs a wiki as much as this one v.v.. but it's fun to wing it in and learn the hard way or through little tid bits in these comment windows. 
Asterisks is the discord RP box. 
*takes a short walk out the front door, waving to Gareth as he leaves to get the job done for him. Methodically taking his axe to every felled branch in the woods surrounding the tavern until the sun had moved high into the sky and he had only the task of carrying the remains of each branch back to the big innkeepers shed. Locking it closed with the ornate padlock found hanging from it's handle before tiredly walking his way back into the tavern, wanting nothing more than that promised ale and a long soak in the bath house* 
Done, Gareth.. That's.. Fuck me that must be a months worth of wood piled up in your shed now, although, I guess since you're using it to run a whole tavern maybe I'm overestimating how long it will last you.. *leaning up against the bar as he looked to the big wolf, hoping to see that Ale he was looking forward to in his paws* I trust that satisfies today's work order?
Boom, feed'm stuff like that. Everything Italicized on your screen was in Asterisks for the Ai. I've only ever seen a few dozen text boxes from the Ai fully break to show me what's going on behind the scenes, and of that, asterisks were most of what I understood. Three Eyes and a few others have slipped in comments that talk about () being Out Of Character interaction with the client/Ai/LLM behind the scenes.. but I have zero understanding of what it does, means, or makes possible. 

I tried a memory 'command' I read in these comments once and it slowed my session down af until the next time I loaded it up. No regrets though, folks remember what I wanted them to remember from that ^.^
