Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron can't be dead, he's to clingy to just die on us."
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, "Martine seems to have an unhealthy infatuation with the Queen. Stalkers are never good, especially when they're omnipotent."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear Martine finally did it. He blasted Asheron with one of his strike spells."<br>
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!!!"<br>
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I always thought he would be the end of us..."<br>

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..."</font>
