=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "It's nice to relax and enjoy the Festival Season. I guarantee though, soon as we get comfortable and settled in all happy and tranquil, some nasty monster will start stompin' all over Dereth making a mess of things."
:Town Crier tells you, "I heard the Candeth Keep Archmage isn't running her store. She's been holed up in her tower for days."
:Town Crier tells you, "It's the Festival Season again! I love this time of year. All of the masks, pumpkins, the food and the celebrations. Keep away from those scarecrows though, they give me the creeps."
:Town Crier tells you, "Lady Dain asked me to send trustworthy adventurers to see her in Candeth Keep. A warrior she knows may have found a clue to her husband's disappearance."
:Town Crier tells you, "I've seen an awful lot of eye injuries lately. People should be more careful with thier pointy weapons."
:Town Crier tells you, "A battle between the natural and unnatural has erupted in the heart of the Valley of Death!"
:Town Crier tells you, "I figured the lair the Ancient Olthoi Queen made for herself would have been abandoned after we succeeded in routing her. I thought wrong and received a visit to the lifestone for it."
:Town Crier tells you, "Did you see? You can carry hundreds of alchemy gems now! No, THOUSANDS! It's amazing!!"
:Town Crier tells you, "Who would have thought that Reedshark hide made such a comfortable robe?"
:Town Crier tells you, "Seems as though Aerbax is up to no good in that valley of his. My cousin returned from a foray there recently. He said that there was an enclave of Banderlings fighting a battle against the drudges out there."
:Town Crier tells you, "Robes! I tell you. Robes!"
:Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen those new Olthoi Shields? They sure are something!"
:Town Crier tells you, "Some folks say they have seen a rather shady-looking fellow loitering around the Obsidian Span. The fellow actually claims to have studied under Oswald, the infamous assassin!"
:Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen my new leather jacket? I'm not much of a fan of hide armor, but this jacket is just so comfortable!"
:Town Crier tells you, "I used to be so worried about my enemies sneaking up on me! But I can tell you're not going to try to hurt me."
:Town Crier tells you, "I hear tell of a dungeon being found in the middle of that valley in the direlands."
:Town Crier tells you, "I hear the weather in the deserts near Candeth Keep has gotten very windy."
:Town Crier tells you, "I don't know what it is about late fall, but creatures are once again losing their heads. And other body parts, too..."
:Town Crier tells you, "You like my mask? Would you like one? Well go and find yourself a head and take it to the Mask Makers."
:Town Crier tells you, "Who would have thought that Reedshark hide made such a comfortable robe?"
:Town Crier tells you, "Those Mask Crafters and their apprentices sure have been busy. But, I suppose they have to be, what with our festivals finally beginning."
:Town Crier tells you, "Here's a little secret: Do not eat chickens from Sawato! You'll thank me later."
:Town Crier tells you, "There's nothing like hammering down a drudge with a banderling arm!"
