Gaerlan explains his master plan and begins to summon the Harbinger.

Discoveries

Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "What are we to do? Asheron helped us so much without us even knowing. Perhaps it's time to strike a blow against Martine and Gaerlan in the places we know their minions dwell."

Town Crier tells you, "Why, I am having such a great time utilizing my new Tinkering Skills, I was almost late for work today!"

Town Crier tells you, "Gaerlan's Citadel is on the move! They say it is heading towards Crater Village!"

Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has been expanding some of the existing cottage and villa settlements. Mostly in Middle and West Osteth, a few in Northeast Osteth."

Town Crier tells you, "Asheron is gone...can it be true? Were you there? My cousin said that Martine tore a hole open in Asheron's chest. This Empyrean, Gaerlan, and Martine were in league all along. Now Asheron is gone and we are all alone against these madmen."

Town Crier tells you, "Hard at work the Arcanum has been, building new Residential Quarters! They are accessible from Glenden Wood, Qalabar and Baishi."

Town Crier tells you, "Some more mansions have been built! Ten new ones, I believe."

Town Crier tells you, "I got my UST! Do you have an UST? You MUST get an UST! Or your backpack may bust! Available in most towns."

Town Crier tells you, "They pay me to say that. I hate it too."

Town Crier tells you, "A Fletcher acquaintance of mine was able to make me some new Deadly Atlatl Darts. I love my Atlatl even more now. Even though I still have trouble pronouncing "Atlatl"."

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "I heard a secret, but it'll cost you more than that."

Town Crier tells you, "Why would monsters steal stamps from the Arcanum Storehouse? And certain monsters seem to have particular stamps. Some of the creatures just don't seem intelligent enough to have taken the stamps, let alone picked a favorite."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard of a couple new mansions North of the Lithaenean River, near the river mouth. Also, two West of Sawato!"

Town Crier tells you, "Hey, so here's a tip. Use Tinkering to clean out some of that junk you carry with you. That loot you'll never use can be converted to salvageable material!"

Town Crier tells you, "I heard tell of a secret city beneath Rithwic. If it's true, who lives there? And why? Who wants to live beneath the ground anyway?"

Town Crier tells you, "A passerby told me of a couple new mansions on the Southern land bridge. I shudder to think how close to the Direlands that is."

Town Crier tells you, "Psst! There are some new houses Northeast of Arwic, or East of Bandit Castle, whichever direction you prefer."

Town Crier tells you, "Hey, so here's a tip. Use Tinkering to clean out some of that junk you carry with you. That loot you'll never use can be converted to salvageable material!"

Town Crier tells you, "Nuhmudira isn't there anymore. Not a soul knows where she has gotten off to, but she is no longer in her prison but her cries remain. It's spooky, or so those that have been there have said."

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know what the Virindi call a Royal Atlatl with Deadly Darts?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A Royal Atlatl with Deadly Darts. The Virindi aren't all that creative."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A beautiful young woman paid me a visit last night. At first she seemed really angry and warned me about "idle chatter", but then she seemed to sweeten up a bit and bought me some Stout, she really was quite stunning. She talked to me for quite awhile, asking questions every now and then, but I don't remember much of it."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I do remember gazing at her as I started blacking out and as the blackness spread across my vision I had the oddest notion that she had eight legs! Haha, two's enough for me!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was going to go see the Elysa and Asheron relight the Festival Stones, but I hate crowds."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So somebody was helping Martine? Yeah, I remember Gaerlan from when he was just a little punk. He gets himself a big fancy floating house and now he thinks he can run everything."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear Martine finally did it. He blasted Asheron with one of his strike spells."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If he wasn't so wrapped up in his little love drama he might have listened to the old man for once! Bohoo, Martine! We've all had it rough!!! You don't see me going around shooting people!!!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I always thought he would be the end of us..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I guess in a way he will be. Without Asheron, we can't stop Gaerlan."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nice knowing you."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A UST huh? You know what that stands for right?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ulgrim's Salvaging Tool."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Pretty impressive, I know, but what do you expect from the Master Tinkerer."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had a really bad dream last night. I was gazing into my stout, as I often do, when the surface started to boil and froth and then these four figures seemed to rise out of the suds. Then the most horrible thing happened. They drank my stout! All of it! They just seemed to suck it all up! It was horrible!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron can't be dead, he's to clingy to just die on us."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, you are admiring my sword?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's going to be the best sword in all of Dereth! I've already increased it's burden and made it worthless. I just have to figure out why it keeps turning green..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I don't think the rumor of monsters raiding the Arcanum Storehouse is right. You want to know where I think the stamps came from? Think about it! They started appearing on monsters just when we need to be preparing our defenses against Gaerlan."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Man is trying to keep us down!!"
