New Dialog[]

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "It's nice to relax and enjoy the Festival Season. I guarantee though, soon as we get comfortable and settled in all happy and tranquil, some nasty monster will start stompin' all over Dereth making a mess of things."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard the Candeth Keep Archmage isn't running her store. She's been holed up in her tower for days."

Town Crier tells you, "It's the Festival Season again! I love this time of year. All of the masks, pumpkins, the food and the celebrations. Keep away from those scarecrows though, they give me the creeps."

Town Crier tells you, "Lady Dain asked me to send trustworthy adventurers to see her in Candeth Keep. A warrior she knows may have found a clue to her husband's disappearance."

Town Crier tells you, "I've seen an awful lot of eye injuries lately. People should be more careful with thier pointy weapons."

Town Crier tells you, "A battle between the natural and unnatural has erupted in the heart of the Valley of Death!"

Town Crier tells you, "I figured the lair the Ancient Olthoi Queen made for herself would have been abandoned after we succeeded in routing her. I thought wrong and received a visit to the lifestone for it."

Town Crier tells you, "Did you see? You can carry hundreds of alchemy gems now! No, THOUSANDS! It's amazing!!"

Town Crier tells you, "Who would have thought that Reedshark hide made such a comfortable robe?"

Town Crier tells you, "Seems as though Aerbax is up to no good in that valley of his. My cousin returned from a foray there recently. He said that there was an enclave of Banderlings fighting a battle against the drudges out there."

Town Crier tells you, "Robes! I tell you. Robes!"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen those new Olthoi Shields? They sure are something!"

Town Crier tells you, "Some folks say they have seen a rather shady-looking fellow loitering around the Obsidian Span. The fellow actually claims to have studied under Oswald, the infamous assassin!"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen my new leather jacket? I'm not much of a fan of hide armor, but this jacket is just so comfortable!"

Town Crier tells you, "I used to be so worried about my enemies sneaking up on me! But I can tell you're not going to try to hurt me."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear tell of a dungeon being found in the middle of that valley in the direlands."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear the weather in the deserts near Candeth Keep has gotten very windy."

Town Crier tells you, "I don't know what it is about late fall, but creatures are once again losing their heads. And other body parts, too..."

Town Crier tells you, "You like my mask? Would you like one? Well go and find yourself a head and take it to the Mask Makers."

Town Crier tells you, "Who would have thought that Reedshark hide made such a comfortable robe?"

Town Crier tells you, "Those Mask Crafters and their apprentices sure have been busy. But, I suppose they have to be, what with our festivals finally beginning."

Town Crier tells you, "Here's a little secret

Do not eat chickens from Sawato! You'll thank me later."

Town Crier tells you, "There's nothing like hammering down a drudge with a banderling arm!"
