This is a long one. Sorry. But I am OCD about these things and would love to see them fixed so the mud looks as good as possible:
Capitalizations.
There are probably more than the ones below. Maybe the best way to check would be a blanket find/replace for all print commands in the code, and add in a conversion to upper case for the first character?
A) For the warrior sod skill, the knockdown message needs a capitalization:
You press the attack against a cult priest, striking repeatedly in a frenzy of blood!
a cult priest staggers and is knocked to the ground under your brutal assault!
B) Dispel invis:
Lilabipple casts the spell 'Dispel Invisible'.
the tower key fades into visibility.
C) Death message:
You deflect a duergar thief's blow, and strike back at a duergar thief!
You beautifully slash a duergar thief into two parts - both dead.
a duergar thief is dead! R.I.P.
D) Temple of Baphomet entrance:

E) Corpses should be capitalized when trying to loot:

get all 3.corpse
corpse of the fire giant warrior pupil appears to be empty.
F) Hidden red shapes using gsay need capitalization:
a red shape group-says '2 orcs in sewer'
G) Auctions, when claim the results:"proceeds" is spelled wrong:
Also, that sentence needs to start with a capital letter.
< 907h/907H 180v/180V P: std >
< |ss +|sk +|ua +|ros +|sod +|cv +|cc +|wu +|nop +|ub +|ut +|hd +|dsd +|iw +|vip +| >
auction claim 20
An auctioneer says '94893 platinum has been deposited in your account.'
an auctioneer says 'The rest of the procedes, 4995 platinum, pay for your fees.'
H) Blackguard power target not capitalized
Kinon's weapon unleashes a torrent of dark power as he strikes a human necromancer.
a human necromancer is knocked to the ground!
I) Some Hexblade spell? Needs capitalization at the start
a temple guardian slowly suffocates on the clinging Fey mists surrounding him.
J) Bodyslam miss message needs capitalization:
Note that it should also not say shield bash, as I was using bodyslam, but I already mentioned that in a previous issue.

And as the observer:

P) Disarm message needs capitalization:
Dhaerian successfully knocks an orc archer's weapon from his grips!
an orcish longbow lands on the floor.
Q) The "smear of blood" sentence needs a capitalization
Room 79195, I think? I guess this requires an OBJ file change, while the ones above probably require updates to the MUD's code.
A Sharp Curve in the River's Course (Water)
The tunnel makes a sharp curve here to the south around a large promontory
of rock that seems to be marked by a faint smear of blood. The waters of the
Gloom River start to calm again past this point, and the familiar tufts of
yellow glowing fungi again cover the tunnel's ceiling. From this point
southwards the river is commonly referred to by the local denizens of the
Underdark as Veldrin Z'har.
Exits: - North - East - South
a triangular smear of blood is visible on the rock wall to the west.
P) UM1, some kind of proc or emote:

OUCH! That really did HURT!
the king under blood moon's mighty strike cleaves through Tibbappotile.

X) Rubbing a rod has no capitalization:

a black adamantite rod in your hands suddenly glows brightly!
Y) Items you can't take should be capitalized:

get all coffin
You get a black bladed longsword from a warlord's coffin.
the warlord's corpse isn't takeable.
Z) I'm not sure what power or spell or proc this is, but it's from Baphomet, and needs a capital letter:
a devout of Sargas lays her blessed hands upon Esalee.
Typos:
A) Beholder fuscia ray:
A beholder with missing eyestalks turns an eyestalk towards Elterras and shoots a vivid fuscia ray straight at him.
fuscia--> should be fuchsia, I assume?
B) If an object already starts with "the," don't precede with another "the"?
< |ss +|sk +|ua +|ros +|sod +|cv +|cc +|wu +|nop +|ub +|ut +|hd +|dsd +|iw +|vip +| >
get gem eyes
The the gem eyes of the demon statue isn't a container
C) Looking at someone with barskinl "He" should be "His." I'm not sure if it's also wrong for females.
l mazad
You see nothing special about him.
Mazad is a medium-sized level 50 Drow Elf.
He is in excellent condition.
He skin has barklike texture.
D) Tailsweep, missing "a" before "mighty tail"? I'm not sure if this is somehow caused by ANSI or not:
< 175h/1235H 179v/180V P: std >
< |ss +|sk +|ua 5|ros +|sod +|cv +|cc +|wu +|nop +|ub +|ut 1|hd +|dsd +|iw 28|vip +| >

E) Incorrect gender for the cleric in the underdark settlement just east of Gloomhaven:
Her description says "she" but during combat actions it's a "he." The mob's gender should be updated.
F) Muspelheim, when making an ice bridge:
As the magical cold of your spell blankets the area
the molten lava solidifies into a small bridge.
Maybe combine this a single line, as it's super short? Or add a comma after "area."
G) Bahamut blade proc:
Issue 1: this has one space too many between the character's name and "blade."
Issue 2: it would look better if this was all on one line. Plenty of other messages are longer than that.
The newline/CR looks weird for just one remaining word.
A golden light springs forth from Tibbappotile's blade and envelops him, he looks
revitalized!
Tibbappotile attacks a young blue dragon, landing a single hit.
Then same applies to this other part of the proc, which would look better if it was a single line:
Your crimson-edged obsidian blade pulses crimson in a torrent of unholy might!
An inky black miasma writhes forth from your blade coating an Advocate from Jalanthar
in Stygian darkness!
Nothing seems to happen.
Your massive flaming slash barely wounds an Advocate from Jalanthar.
H) Greater Realm of Protection should not have "of" capitalized:
It should be like Globe of Invulnerability.
This is not just in the status display, but also when someone casts it:
Active Powers:
--------------
Blur, Dragonscales, Vitality, Globe of Invulnerability, Greater Realm Of Protection
I) Some weapon proc, needs closing apostrophe:
Thallen wields a slender elven Moonblade.
< 1045h/1045H 155v/155V |3|3|2|3|2| P: std >
< |ss +|md +|sph +|uf +|vs +|drs +|sot +|fr +|bc +|sp +|ad +|sos +|cs +|ua +|dg +| >

Example of one with a period:
Kinon starts casting a spell called 'Aspect of Domination'
Kinon casts the spell 'Aspect of Domination'.

Xussur starts casting a spell called 'Vitality'
Xussur starts casting a spell called 'Resurrect'
Xussur starts casting a spell called 'Full Heal'
E) Will O'Wisp (missing period behind long name)
The Greycloak Hills
The sweet scent of flowers wafts upon the chill misty air.
Intermingled amongst the high grasses of the hills many colorful
flowers bloom, adding a sense of cheer to this area of the hills.
Hummingbirds can be seen flitting from flower to flower in search
of nectar despite the somewhat chilly air. The misty clouds
endemic to the hills cover the grasses and flowers in a layer of
dew, one of the reasons that the flora is so abundant. The
Greycloak hills continue to the north, east, and west.
Exits: - North - East - West
A glowing ball of yellow light hovers in the air nearby
F) When someone else speaks the scepter of valhalla keywords, that message needs a period:
Arizan mutters something to his the mighty scepter of valhalla
