Town Crier Rumors

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "Apparently the Explorer Society is enlisting adventures to help people with their problems."
Town Crier tells you, "I've seen more of those glowing Emissaries poking around lately. I wonder what Asheron's up to?"
Town Crier tells you, "Tailors are no longer holding back on how many reduction kits they will sell to a patron in a month."
Town Crier tells you, "Those Olthoi Hunters, hiding out in the caverns beneath the sand, are up to something."

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "In Kara you will find three members of the Explorer Society. I have heard they seek kind adventurers who will aid citizens of Dereth with their issues, and I've heard they reward most generously."
Town Crier tells you, "Emissaries from Asheron have been sighted in Neydisa Castle and Ayan Baqur. I've also heard rumors of a third somewhere."
Town Crier tells you, "Game Hunter Rand has chosen a new batch of creatures to be worthy of his bounty, head to Holtburg to find out which ones."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that new Olthoi Hunters have joined the ranks. They bring with them the knowledge to create other variations of the Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapons."

Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Paradox Olthoi Hunters? I forgot those guys were still down there. How long does it take to kill off a view olthoi anyways?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What is happening to this place, can no one do their own work? Now the Explorer Society is asking people to help other useless citizens of Dereth. I say don't help, the only way people learn is by doing it themselves. You know how much learning I had to do to be so good at drinking? A lifetime of learning, with lessons daily. It's fun to learn."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Apparently people are taking interest in the plans those drudges use to create their balloons. Why anyone would have interest in a device that hovers in one spots is beyond me, it certainly won't get you to the pub any faster."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know it is slightly amusing to see a big ol' gear knight sitting on a tiny bar stool. I was about to make a joke about it when the nice fellow bought me an ale. That's all it took to win me over, good people those gear knights."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ya I wandered down into those caves to find out what was keeping the Olthoi Hunters so busy. To my surprise they actually recruited more help, all of the new arrivals were skilled in a different combat skill. It only took how long to get the rest of the crew into that cave? That queen is really on top of her game..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've heard Rytheran has learned a few new tricks. You might want to bring some friends if you plan on getting on his bad side. Yes you will need help, I can still take him when I'm half drunk."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Guess he's just lucky I'm always fully drunk."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I wandered by Kara during my Dereth Pub Crawl. I see these Explorer Society folk all dressed up in bright colors, reminded me of Skilltes really, and I ask them if they want to join my pub crawl."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You don't know what Skilltes are? They are a multi colored candy claiming to taste like fruit, but I've never had fruit taste like that."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Anyways the stuck up buggers refuse, so I head on my way. Then the greatest shock of all happens, I find out Kara doesn't even have a pub! They wonder why no one lives in that town. Who wants to live in a dry town? No one that's who."
