==== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ====
{{Dialog|
''Free Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I tried out the changes to that Derethian Combat Arena. It is just no fun when the competition is so lousy. I can't believe these people even refer to themselves as warriors. More like fish if you ask me."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I ran into Lord Cynreft the other day and taught him how to not be such a push over. He's still far from any match for me, but then again, who is?"
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron has called on my assistance with the mess in Tou-Tou. The toughest part will be trying to stay sober... Well I'm sure I'm still better than all those shadows when I'm drunk."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Cheers"
''Stout Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's been a while since I've fought alongside Asheron."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You didn't know I fought with him? We stood back to back against many of the greatest threats in the history of Auberean."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well I don't care if you don't believe me, but I do think you owe me another stout for being so rude."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hurnmel finally realized he was sitting on a gold mine and raised the price of those Spectral Rares."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If you ask me, only the weak need the aid of something like that."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Can you believe that the Jester had no idea how to deal with Void Magic. I had to explain the secret to defending yourself against nether spells."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Man that guy is annoying to talk to for more than a few seconds. He made me have to start drinking early that day."
