Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin took a trip to the lifestone the other day courtesy of some new golems in the direlands."

Town Crier tells you, "He kept talking about precious metals pounding his body to pulp."

Town Crier tells you, "Festival Grounds look much like each other when your head is down over your pieces brother."

Town Crier tells you, "Did you hear about Marae Lassel?"

Town Crier tells you, "At least Eastham seems to have been given some relief from all of those portals. But I hear that the areas around where the essences were have become rather busy."

Town Crier tells you, "Don't you know that playing at this level calls for no ordinary venue, it's Rithwic, Qalaba'r or... or... Yanshi."

Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. They are accessible from Khayyaban, Lin and Samsur."

Town Crier tells you, "Yanshi might seem free, but can we ever be truly free of the Harbinger?"

Town Crier tells you, "Stay away from the really big Tusker. I hear that they are incredibly strong and brutal."

Town Crier tells you, "On a dark and stormy night I was told by a stranger of a mansion that is haunted by forces such as one only sees in nightmares. He said he will journey there nevermore."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear tell that the Singularity Caul has a few new defenders. One of them I heard is a Virindi that stalks with Shadows. What could that mean?"

Town Crier tells you, "Go to the festival grounds to see a show with everything but Ulgrim."

Town Crier tells you, "I think there is something wrong with the skeletons. I've seen them running all over town and they aren't attacking. They also look a bit odd, like their heads are bigger or something. I've heard they are trying to fashion their own flags too, perhaps to wrap around their humongous heads."

Town Crier tells you, "Someone said that they found the way to Gaerlan’s fallen citadel near where the essences once were."

Town Crier tells you, "Thank you, I will sing for you now. Unforgettable..."

Town Crier tells you, "...I, I cannot seem to remember the rest of the song."

Town Crier tells you, "Time flies, doesn't seem a minute since the Lytelthorpe bar had some townsfolk in it."

Town Crier tells you, "Those mask makers sure have started a vile new trade. I mean I don't mind wearing a mask and all but what they are doing, creepy."

Yanshi Town Crier rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Jeweler Xao Wu never came back from the Lifestone. They say her body never re-formed! What is happening? These are strange times!"

Town Crier tells you, "The arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. They are accessible from Khayyaban, Lin and Samsur. Since our town is destroyed, maybe we can commute from there?"

Town Crier tells you, "Someone said that they found the way to Gaerlan's fallen citadel near where the essences once were."

Town Crier tells you, Flames still haunt my dreams. Witness our destroyed town."

Town Crier tells you, "You will find the population of Yanshi up the road. They are living in tents."

Town Crier tells you, Everyone is up the road. We lost almost everything!"

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "Does he look ok to you? He's never been much of a conversationalist, but lately he's been talking to thin air and it's a bit disturbing."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm planning on grabbing one of those swords off the Tumerok Overlord. He never seems to run out of them... must have a stash of them somewhere."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Do you think it's getting too weird around here?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Tell Let me give you a bit of advice my friend. Never look up a magician's robe, it ruins the surprise. Wait, or was it a magician's sleeve?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, could you maybe lure some monsters over towards the tower? I'm kinda bored and I could pick them off pretty easy from up here."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Some monsters get stronger, some monsters get weaker. Just remember what ol' Ulgrim says when the health is down, fire is raining from the sky and monsters are clawing at his throat."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Strong...weak. I'm the one with the wand."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've seen some strange things here on Dereth, but why in the world would I want to fling things around with some dead git's extremities?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I can't sleep in Ayan anymore. I came out here to try and get some rest at my friends place, but I'm still having the bad dreams. I think maybe it's time to head back to my house for awhile."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So! You think you may be able to out-drink me!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yeah, and maybe tuskers will fly out of my..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "But, seriously you haven't got a chance. I've been training my entire life!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'll stop what those Virindi are planning. Just as soon as I figure out what that plan is."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I drank something."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What's with the rabbit costume?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Thanks! Watch this."
The Drunken Madman sputters as the stout pours down on him.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bwahahaha! I never get tired of that."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Did you know my face is on the Soul Staff?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yup, I'm immortalized! It's the third face down. Some people may claim it's the guy who created the staff, but he's nobody and I'm famous."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yesterday, I almost drank a one that was not cold. Good thing I caught myself in time!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Tell Let me give you a bit of advice my friend. Never look up a magician's robe, it ruins the surprise. Wait, or was it a magician's sleeve?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's time to kick it!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That's my new dance!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You doubt my chess abilities? Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Yuri, Bobby, Trumper, Blue?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Morons."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant gives you Clean, Dry Towel.
