Ulgrim Rumors
Free Rumors:
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't tell anyone but I've been supplying alcohol to miners."
Stout Rumors:
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I heard the wedding is finally on, so I wandered by the Pavillion, and found this poor, neglected wet bar, all alone. So, I did what any caring, compassionate, forthright man would do, and I packed it all up and took it home."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Poor little thing seems much happier now."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went for a walk along the shore recently."

- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This time I found what appears to be the den of a giant sand creature."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I stepped inside to destroy this creature in the name of all that is frothy!"
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well, long story short. It's ANOTHER Lugian mine."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "These guys should get a job, a respectable one, like mine."
