Then the Town Criers took off to warn the queen and he started stalking around looking for someone to eat. I cast a magical disruption spell on him which held him for a few seconds, but then he was free and bearing down on me with ferocious strength. His long talons gleaming with the blood of his latest victims. I dodged to the left, then to the right at the last moment and sent him hurdling into the side of the building. As he spun around I splashed Tusker Spit Ale in his eyes and then started pummeling him with my mug until he finally took to the air cursing my power and resolve."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "By the time the militia showed up he was nearly out of sight."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This town owes me a debt of gratitude. I was thinking a statue of me over there would be nice."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nice to see the sun has come back out. It was getting a bit depressing there for awhile. I can't believe that someone powerful enough to realign the planets could be stupid enough to fall for the old 'divide and conquer' technique. I guess he wasn't awake when Gaerlan got his comeuppance."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found a fossilized Gromnatross turd the other day! I'm going to make a bow out of it!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I can finally uninscribe my underwear. I am so sick of seeing Property of Asheron Realadain every morning."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's nice that Varicci and Elysa were able to defeat Grael by pooling their resources. It reminds me of an important lesson I learned when I was a kid. My sister and I both liked to sneak mugs of ale from the tavern in our town. When we learned to work together, we were able to steal whole kegs. See, I should be a teacher somewhere."
