=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
|Town Crier tells you, "Viamontians in Knorr? I don't believe it. Asheron would never tolerate that... Right?"


''Free Rumors:''
|Town Crier tells you, "I heard about Duke Raoul's new brewing recipes! Sounds yummy, and useful, too!"


<font color=goldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It takes a great fool to just blindly assume that there is some greater mystic force tending the light at the end of the tunnel..."
|Town Crier tells you, "The masks and festival were fun, but I'm glad to have that hot outfit off!"


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good to be home! Or, rather, better to be here than dodging Eaters in Glenden Wood."
|Town Crier tells you, "Adventurers returning from Vissidal Isle report that the little Merwart camp now has a full service bartender. Must be nice to be able to relax with a beer, after a long day of fighting Remoran."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bring me some Stout already, meat puppet! Oh, I can already tell I've spent too much time hanging out with Claude."
|Town Crier tells you, "Word is that Antius Blackmoor himself has taken an interest in the Viamontian activity at Glenden Wood..."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sorry, I'm not accepting cookies or candy or anything weird like that any more. Made my belly ache. A man my age has tender digestion, which is why I stick with the smooth, creamy goodness of Stout."
|Town Crier tells you, "I'm not sure I believe this one, but we have reports that the Viamontians have managed to open up one of the long-forbidden Collegia of Knorr."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Brrr, it's getting colder, even out here in the desert. When winter's got its clammy grip on the world, the best way to keep warm is with a nice mug of Stout."
|Town Crier tells you, "I saw someone wearing a really smart-looking new horned helm the other day."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint, kid. Get me some Stout or I'll show you something about clammy grips. Oh, that didn't come out right."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Would you believe, I was the one who originally developed those new beer recipes that Duke Raoul is taking credit for? Those Viamontians... not an original bone in their bodies, I tell you."
|Town Crier tells you, "Viamontians are raiding Glenden Wood! What can they be after there? Where will they strike next?"


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It takes a great fool to just blindly assume that there is some greater mystic force tending the light at the end of the tunnel..."
|Town Crier tells you, "I saw someone wearing a really smart-looking new horned helm the other day."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh Harlune, that great bag of wind. A day late and a Pyreal short, is what I have to say to him."</font>
|Town Crier tells you, "There are reports that a Viamontian force has taken over the old Nexus, way out there in the Dires. Is it just me, or are they popping up everywhere?"


''Stout Rumors:''
|Town Crier tells you, "Word is that Harlune the Misanthrope has actually expressed concern for something other than himself! More specifically, he's taken an interest in the trouble at Knorr."


<font color=goldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What? Viamontians are in the Nexus now? No! Not there! That's where I keep all my stuff! Curse you, Varicci! Leave my porcelain ballerina collection alone!"
|Town Crier tells you, "A Viamontian noble named Duke Raoul has formulated new brewing recipes! His book is available from the barkeeps at Cragstone, Sanamar, Ayan Baqur, and even the new Merwart barkeep on Vissidal Island."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a sad thing, what's happening to Glenden Wood. Pretty little town. I always liked the fragrant breeze that rustles the leaves of the forest. Nothing else in Dereth smelled like it. Too bad the air out there smells like burning corpses now."
|Town Crier tells you, "Those Viamontians sure are busy bees! We're getting reports of them raiding so many places, I can't keep up!"


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."
|Town Crier tells you, "My cousin went to visit Harlune recently. He told me that Harlune's been in an even worse mood than usual and is complaining that no one will leave him in peace."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've seen it all in my time on this weird, wacky world. Nothing surprises me any more. Not even foul, stinking betrayal. But don't listen to me. No one ever does."
|Town Crier tells you, "If I weren't bound by honor to keep my post here, I might go off to battle the Viamontians at Glenden Wood myself!"


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yep, I stopped at Vissidal Isle on the way back. My little Merwart friends are doing quite well! Finally, one of them set up a tavern! I just wish they'd stop worshipping me. It's so hard to carry out a simple conversation with someone who drools all over your boots."
|Town Crier tells you, "There are reports that Commander Kurth, the leader of the Fort Tethana Garrison, has vanished mysteriously. I've always liked old Kurth. He's a good man, and thorough. I wish Queen Elysa would free up more soldiers to help him defend the fort."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Okay, okay, Rand's developed some powerful and tasty brews, and so has Duke Raoul. Based on... what, Tusker Spit and Moarsmuck? Just you wait. I'm still working on my Banderling Scalp Porter. Thick, yeasty, and filled with protein! It's not just for breakfast any more!"
;Ulgrim the Unpleasant


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That white rabbit may look cute an fluffy, but he's an abomination."
''Free Rumors''


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I bet you didn't know that some magical components are quite deadly if ingested."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good to be home! Or, rather, better to be here than dodging Eaters in Glenden Wood."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I sure didn't."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've heard people babbling that there's no way Asheron would allow the Viamontians to raid his secret cookie stash in Knorr. Why not? Maybe he doesn't like cookies any more. My point is, a person's tastes and opinions can change. Except for mine. Make mine a Stout!"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It takes a great fool to just blindly assume that there is some greater mystic force tending the light at the end of the tunnel..."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ale? I don't drink water unless I have to."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bring me some Stout already, meat puppet! Oh, I can already tell I've spent too much time hanging out with Claude."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "But, I might have to so I'll just hold onto this."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good to be back in Ayan Baqur. Things haven't changed much around here, have they? That devil Claude is still up his old tricks."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm not sure how long I'll stick around in Ayan Baqur. I may decide to visit Sanamar, just to see what the big deal is. Or I could live among the Fiun for a while. Come to think of it, living with those poor sad creatures would be too depressing. I'd end up drinking too much."

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good to be home! Or, rather, better to be here than dodging Eaters in Glenden Wood."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It takes a great fool to just blindly assume that there is some greater mystic force tending the light at the end of the tunnel..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bring me some Stout already, meat puppet! Oh, I can already tell I've spent too much time hanging out with Claude."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sorry, I'm not accepting cookies or candy or anything weird like that any more. Made my belly ache. A man my age has tender digestion, which is why I stick with the smooth, creamy goodness of Stout."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Brrr, it's getting colder, even out here in the desert. When winter's got its clammy grip on the world, the best way to keep warm is with a nice mug of Stout."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What? Viamontians are in the Nexus now? No! Not there! That's where I keep all my stuff! Curse you, Varicci! Leave my porcelain ballerina collection alone!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a sad thing, what's happening to Glenden Wood. Pretty little town. I always liked the fragrant breeze that rustles the leaves of the forest. Nothing else in Dereth smelled like it. Too bad the air out there smells like burning corpses now."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've seen it all in my time on this weird, wacky world. Nothing surprises me any more. Not even foul, stinking betrayal. But don't listen to me. No one ever does."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yep, I stopped at Vissidal Isle on the way back. My little Merwart friends are doing quite well! Finally, one of them set up a tavern! I just wish they'd stop worshipping me. It's so hard to carry out a simple conversation with someone who drools all over your boots."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Okay, okay, Rand's developed some powerful and tasty brews, and so has Duke Raoul. Based on... what, Tusker Spit and Moarsmuck? Just you wait. I'm still working on my Banderling Scalp Porter. Thick, yeasty, and filled with protein! It's not just for breakfast any more!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I bet you didn't know that some magical components are quite deadly if ingested."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I sure didn't."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've heard people babbling that there's no way Asheron would allow the Viamontians to raid his secret cookie stash in Knorr. Why not? Maybe he doesn't like cookies any more. My point is, a person's tastes and opinions can change. Except for mine. Make mine a Stout!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ale? I don't drink water unless I have to."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "But, I might have to so I'll just hold onto this."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good to be back in Ayan Baqur. Things haven't changed much around here, have they? That devil Claude is still up his old tricks."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Okay, okay, Rand's developed some powerful and tasty brews, and so has Duke Raoul. Based on... what, Tusker Spit and Moarsmuck? Just you wait. I'm still working on my Banderling Scalp Porter. Thick, yeasty, and filled with protein! It's not just for breakfast any more!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm not sure how long I'll stick around in Ayan Baqur. I may decide to visit Sanamar, just to see what the big deal is. Or I could live among the Fiun for a while. Come to think of it, living with those poor sad creatures would be too depressing. I'd end up drinking too much."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yep, I stopped at Vissidal Isle on the way back. My little Merwart friends are doing quite well! Finally, one of them set up a tavern! I just wish they'd stop worshipping me. It's so hard to carry out a simple conversation with someone who drools all over your boots."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So what, exactly, does Varicci think he's going to find in that secret wing of Knorr? From the way I heard it all described, I bet he'll just find a pile of dirty paintings that Asheron hides away when Elysa comes to visit."
