Town Crier Rumors
Town Crier tells you, "A friend of mine says that he talked with Ulgrim the other day and he seemed different. He couldn't figure out why exactly."
Town Crier tells you, "A mosswart named Grearrk walked into Sawato bawling and bleating. Apparently it found its way into the tavern there. The barkeep knows more."
Town Crier tells you, "An adventurer traveling through town from the north told me that Celdiseth's tumerok apprentice, Aun Aulakhe, has learned new ways to improve that fearsome Invoker of his."
Town Crier tells you, "Aun Aulakhe has sent word that Portal Space disruptions are causing the very boundaries within it to disintegrate."
Town Crier tells you, "Did you know that they moved us to a new pay schedule? We only get paid once a month, and only on the first day of the month. But I'm expected to be at my post the same amount of hours... Oh sure the town crier is here for you, but where's the love for us, huh?"
Town Crier tells you, "I can't believe that Ulgrim killed Nuhmudira... I hear he's on the run from her students now."
Town Crier tells you, "I have it on good authority that Ulgrim was seen at a bar a few days ago. Apparently he was drinking heavily.".
Town Crier tells you, "I hear Ulgrim has been seen all over the place. It's hard to figure out how he could be in so many places at once."
Town Crier tells you, "I'm wildly speculating, but maybe Ulgrim saw something he shouldn't have. Now he sleeps with the fishes."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tales that tumeroks are gathering from all directions at a point to the north of Yaraq. No outsiders are welcome near their fire -- what unknown purpose could be so important?"
Town Crier tells you, "If I were an adventurous soul, which I am not, I'd be looking arround the Blackmire Swamp for anything out of the ordinary."
Town Crier tells you, "Mosswarts coming into town and asking for help, speaking Roulean no less. Who would have ever thought?"
Town Crier tells you, "My sister's best friend's neighbor says that Ulgrim was kidnapped by a Tremendous Monouga."
Town Crier tells you, "My Uncle's nephew says that Ulgrim went to live with the Tuskers and learn to throw poo."
Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Aun Aulakhe, in the Tumerok akiekie to the north, has given his faithful Windreave Saritea permission to trade old Invokers for ones with even more powerful magics than before."
Town Crier tells you, "Someone saw Ulgrim on a road near Shoushi. I wonder where he's heading."
Town Crier tells you, "They say that there is a temple buried beneath the Blackmire Swamp, I wonder what is in there?"
Town Crier tells you, "Town criers are available in most major towns to tell you of the latest news and events. We'll also give you a piece of information for a bit of money."
