|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "A new Olthoi Queen in this day and age?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  ""That doesn't seem odd to you?"
|Ulgrim's head falls limp before snapping up back up as he stares into your eyes.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Something unnatural is afoot. Such meddling forces can create an imbalance."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "And when there is an imbalance, disaster always follows to correct it."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Heed these words, for they will resonate with you in the times to come."
|Ulgrim's head falls once again. He slowly raises it.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Who are you? Oh right, we were talking about the Olthoi Queen."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Man, I think I blacked out. Quick, give me another stout before my buzz wears off."
