Town Crier Rumors

Viamontian Town Criers

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "Most curious. We have heard that Aerbax has twisted and uplifted one of those smelly, savage Tumeroks. Should we worry about its potential power?"

Town Crier tells you, "We have heard of some kind of infectious infestation among the Carenzi of Marae Lassel. That would be the actual rodents, and not the foolish band of rebels that resists the Viamontian dominion on that island."

Town Crier tells you, "I have heard of no kidnappings among the population of New Viamont. Clearly King Varicci protects his people better than the Bloodless Queen."

Town Crier tells you, "Now word is that the mask makers of the Bloodless lands have created an additional set of masks. I am glad our own heritage mask maker is above such frivolity."

Town Crier tells you, "The Bloodless agent known as Oswent the Pale seems to be seeking the aid of those who helped him before."

Town Crier tells you, "Rumor is that the vendors at the Colosseum, Empyrean Graveyard, and Olthoi North have improved their inventories."

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "We have heard that the specialty vendors at the Colosseum, Empyrean Graveyard, and Olthoi North have expanded their inventories with armor upgrades and high-quality crafting supplies. We urge you to investigate, as such commodities could be very valuable to New Viamont."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you worked for Oswent the Pale in the past? Something about an investigation at Linvak Tukal? If so, he may have need of you again. Report to Cragstone to find him."

Town Crier tells you, "New masks from the Bloodless mask makers? I have heard of these, yes. Undead sailors! Who ever heard of such a thing? What foolishness!"

Town Crier tells you, "The Bloodless scholar Nomea ibn Makar of Qalaba'r is investigating the case of a Tumerok that has been uplifted by Aerbax. One can only imagine what such a beast is like, with such power put at the disposal of a primitive savage. I meant the Tumerok of course, and not this Bloodless scholar."

Town Crier tells you, "The King's sages have noticed a pattern of Aerbax's abductions and prodigal children. We should be on guard, lest Aerbax try to twist and raise up a human over us.

Town Crier tells you, "There is apparently some ongoing plague among the Carenzi rodents of Marae Lassel. The Tumerok known as Aun Teriona would know more, if you can bear the smell of those beasts."

Mainland Town Criers

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "News! The mask makers have decided to make some additional masks this season!"

Town Crier tells you, "News! Those strange vendors at the Colosseum, the Empyrean Graveyard, and the Olthoi North have expanded their inventories!"

Town Crier tells you, "Word is that Oswent the Pale seeks further help in his investigations of Linvak Tukal."

Town Crier tells you, "There's word that some kind of Aerbax-twisted Tumerok is puttering about on the west coast somewhere."

Town Crier tells you, "There seems to be some kind of plague afflicting the Carenzi of Marae Lassel..."

Town Crier tells you, "We've seen Drudges, Banderlings, even Lugians and Tumeroks warped by Aerbax. Does that mean a human will be next?"

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "Have you got your late-season mask? The mask makers decided to create some more masks, apparently with an adventurous undead theme."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard about the kidnappings and assaults upon humans? Some people have gone missing. The Queen's agents believe Aerbax is involved..."

Town Crier tells you, "There are reports that the vendors at the Colosseum, the Empyrean Graveyard, and the Olthoi North have upgraded their inventories with armor upgrades and high quality craft materials."

Town Crier tells you, "A scholar named Nomea ibn Makar seeks adventurers to aid in the investigation of an Aerbax-tainted Tumerok. Seek him out in Qalaba'r."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you got your late-season mask? The mask makers decided to create some more masks, apparently with an adventurous undead theme."

Town Crier tells you, "There is word that a Tumerok named Aun Teriona on Marae Lassel seeks the livers of infected Carenzi."

Town Crier tells you, "If you helped Oswent the Pale with his investigation before, he would have your assistance again. You can find Oswent in Cragstone, as before."

Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yes, undead sailor masks. All the rage these days. Very fashionable. But I just find it's not very flattering on my desert-tanned skin."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oswent the Pale is mucking about with Linvak Tukal again, eh? I know what he wants. He's looking for the good luck stones I hid there. Well, someone should tell him he can't have my lucky charms!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you met this prodigal Tumerok that Aerbax supposedly 'uplifted'? Gloomy bugger. Not very uplifted at all."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yes, I've already been to the Empyrean Graveyard to trade in my coins for some of those new items. I've greatly improved the acid resistance of my stomach, so I can eat as many spicy snacks as I want while I drink."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "First it was bug glands, now they're after Carenzi livers? I've sampled many strange brews in my time, especially when Duke Raoul was running his experiments, but even I think Carenzi livers would make for an awful beer flavor."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yes, I've heard that Aerbax 'uplifted' some Tumerok. I met the Tumerok in question. Shared a drink with him. I tell you, Aerbax may have granted him incredible powers, but he can't hold his liquor at all."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oswald passed through here just the other day. I think he was looking for some new recruits. I told him I couldn't work with him, though, because he doesn't let his apprentices drink. Barbarism, I say! Barbarism!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Okay, so I know what Oswent the Pale is really after in Linvak Tukal, and it's not my lucky charms. He's trying to find out what happened to Lord Kresovus's pet Mattekar, Balor. I know what happened to Balor. Here's a hint. Stay away from Berkholt's fried steak, okay?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I got myself one of those new masks, but I'm not going to wear it in public. Last time I wore a mask that made me look like an undead, I got propositioned by Lady Aerfalle, and who needs the hassle? She doesn't take rejection kindly."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ugh! There's a diseased Carenzi liver floating in this mug of stout!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ha! Made you look. Berkholt's standards of cleanliness aren't quite that bad."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Aerbax is coming for me, next. I'm going to be the next prodigal he tries to uplift. I'm kind of looking forward to it. I always felt like I could dominate the world, if only I had the proper motivation."
