Town Crier Rumors
Town Crier tells you, "Why did the Siraluun cross the road? To eat my sister."
Town Crier tells you, "How many drudges does it take to light a candle? Six. One to hold the candle, one to strike the flint and four to rob a passerby of the flint and the candle."
Town Crier tells you, "Renegade Tumeroks are marching on Dryreach! Queen Elysa is looking for brave adventurers to investigate!"
Town Crier tells you, "A Siraluun walks into a tavern. The barkeep tells him "We do not serve Siraluuns here!""
Town Crier tells you, "The Siraluun says, "That is quite alright, I just want a drink.""
Town Crier tells you, "The other day I saw a shady-looking man, all in green armor, hanging out by the bowyer's shop. He winked when he saw me, and then he just... disappeared. I mean, I guess he could have slipped around the corner of the building, but..."
Town Crier tells you, "An olthoi walked into a tavern. The barkeep told him "We do not serve your kind here." The olthoi immediately raised his claws and disembowled the barkeep. Then he drank from the tapped keg."
Town Crier tells you, "What, you think I am telling a funny tale? This is a news item."
Town Crier tells you, "Can Shadowhunter armor be improved now? Only the Shadowhunter Armor owners know..."
Town Crier tells you, "Say, if you are skilled in fletching you may be able to use a shield with your thrown weapon."
