Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Ahh! Just this morning on my way to work, I was attacked by a Platinum Golem! After he hit me with a bit of the old "Tusker's Gift" nonsense, I cast a Life Magic dispel to remove the offending enchantment and was quickly on my way!"

Town Crier tells you, "Apparently Fadsahil al-Tashbi has stated several times, in Council meetings, that there is a fell voice that has been screaming beneath his home. What could that be?"

Town Crier tells you, "An Aun Tumerok claiming to be sent from High Queen Elysa has arrived in Arwic. He's beating a drum at the highest tower."

Town Crier tells you, "Attention! The Lugian Renegades are continuing their assault upon Linvak Tukal in even greater strength than before. All those who wish to assist our Lugian allies should report to Arutis, the Lugian Emissary in the city of Linvak Tukal!"

Town Crier tells you, "Aun Laokhe has traveled to Arwic on a special mission. Apparently he can speak to the spirits of nature that speak truly arcane languages."

Town Crier tells you, "Chiran, Lorica and Nariyid. Those are the new types of armor that the armorsmiths were working on, a pity that they were robbed."

Town Crier tells you, "Fadsahil al-Tashbi seems to have moved out of his old abode. He's not that far from there in a nice tent. Perhaps you should speak with him."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen what the armorsmiths of the land have been busy making? Neither have I, continued raids from creatures have seen their wares whisked away in the night."

Town Crier tells you, "I'm not saying it's true, but rumors that have come to me say that Nuhmudira was recently killed by Oswald."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that Lord Kresovus bid the Archmage Kifandal to open a portal to Linvak Tukal at the base of their citadel as a welcoming gesture to his allies."

Town Crier tells you, "I've noticed that some of the magical processes involving spell-casting have been accelerated. Is it possible that sinister means dwell beneath this newfound power?"

Town Crier tells you, "It's good to see new life in Dereth. I've seen too much death for too long."

Town Crier tells you, "Looks like the rabbits aren't the only animals that have been busy this spring."

Town Crier tells you, "My contacts told me that old Ulkas in Linvak Tukal has become a master of his craft -- and his creations are even more powerful than before."

Town Crier tells you, "Oh just like everyone else, my advice is only good enough for a paltry amount of pyreal! Well thank you, Mr. Pyrealbags this'll go a long way toward providing for my family. I'm sure that an egg will feed me, my three kids and my wife."

Town Crier tells you, "Oh you just don't know..."

Town Crier tells you, "Those creepy little creatures... I cannot believe that the High Queen wants to find out more about them. I say, kill them first and find out what they want when they surrender!"

Town Crier tells you, "Town criers are available in most major towns to tell you of the latest news and events. We'll also give you a piece of information for a bit of money."

Town Crier tells you, "What are those things? They seem to have set up an encampment around that strange temple in the Blackmire Swamp."

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Easy guys, I drink my stout just like the rest of you - one sip at a time. Except, once my mug's empty, I make gold gromnies."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Epileptic spongemonkies? I never said that!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Fill me up a Beer Stein and I'll tell you the story of how I tied to a broken lifestone."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you noticed how dazed the people at fishing holes look?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Just try talking to one of them. You'll be lucky if they even acknowledge you. More than likely they'll just stand there casting and casting and casting."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "They're Fishing Zombies! Fishing Zombies I tells you!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, welcome to Ayan Baqur! Buy me a drink friend?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That wasn't the worst part of the dream though. There were these horrible wormy things floating around and I was terrified they would see me."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear old Jaleh got killed. Aaminah really looks as if she's broken up over it. I think we should elect a new leader for Ayan Baqur."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Now let's see... who would make a good leader?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, I couldn't!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Could I?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'll do it! I will shoulder the heavy burden of leadership."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "First law I pass? Free drinks for the Mayor!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I visited Claude and Leopold the yesterday."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Same old virindi. Still think that we can't tell they aren't human."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'll just make sure they jump first."

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, "If we build a new town I say we call it Ulgrim's Ridge. Now that's a town name with style!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's really good to be back in Ayan Baqur. It hasn't changed all that much. The big difference is I see more crazy fools running around killing each other than I used to. How can they stand all the Vitae?"

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, "I've been working on some Olthoi Bait in case they decide to come back. Through long and arduous testing I've discovered that they can't resist stuffed mushrooms. Just walk through a dungeon dropping those things in a line and you can ambush a whole swarm while they're gobbling them up."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Now I have the power of ten Uglrims!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "From hence forth I will be know as Captain Stout! An amazing hero devoted to truth, justice and the pursuit of free drinks."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Wherever there are those in need of help, I'll be there!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Wherever there is a wrong to be righted, I'll be there!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Wherever a stout is left standing unwatched, I will be there!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "People were surprised that I changed my portal recall spell. Hey, I warned people it would change. It's my spell and I go where I like. Plus, I don't really trust Lifestone Recall anymore..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If you want to get to my island then talk to the Drunken Madman, he knows the way."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So, did you see the Archmage in Candeth Keep? I hear her husband is out of the picture. She can buff me anytime! Hubba! Hubba!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Some mage called me a gimp the other day."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I asked him what a gimp was and he said "You, Gimpy! What kindof a gimp mage has a 40 Focus?""
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I portaled him to that new valley everyone is talking about to find out what kind of mage he is."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Maybe I should consider getting some of those new attribute transfer gems."

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, "That white rabbit may look cute an fluffy, but he's an abomination."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There aren't a lot of stimulating people to talk to around here."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I don't mean you of course, you're fascinating."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Where's everyone getting those slick looking hats and suits from?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd look pretty good in one of those getups don't you think?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yeah, I'd be like Jack Diamond in the "Dark Mystery of the Stolen Stuff!""
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a great story."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Wish I could take my sword with me. I'd at the very least like to have it on my wall at home."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know I'm glad my duplicates are gone, but I've been thinking of the glorious things we could have accomplished."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have formed an Fellowship of Ulgrim, roaming the land looking for people to save and drinks to be drunk."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have tried out a few of the group spells I've been dabbling with."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have gone on fishing trips."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "...I miss those guys."
