Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "News! Monsters seem to be moving from their old habitats in the Direlands to northern Osteth. Do you suppose this has something to do with the earthquakes?"

Town Crier tells you, "The sky is turning strange colors again..."

Town Crier tells you, "Hope is not lost for those making suits of gemstone armor. The master smiths, though intimidated by the campaign of terror, promise to keep working to develop armor comparable to what they once made."

Town Crier tells you, "Is it just me, or do you feel the ground shaking from time to time?"

Town Crier tells you, "A friend of mine was portal-stormed out of a dungeon yesterday!"

Town Crier tells you, "Fear me! I wield a board with a nail in it!"

Town Crier tells you, "So have you found the formulas for those spectacular new War Magic spells?"

Town Crier tells you, "News! The Lugians are mining some strange ore in the south mountains. My archmage friend is very concerned."

Town Crier tells you, "People are saying that a shadowy figure with a smoky katar killed the three gemstone armor smiths. Repeatedly."

Town Crier tells you, "I have a cousin who studies the earth and he says we are having... tec-ton-ic anomalies. What does that mean?"

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin the spear-wielder found a very powerful new spear the other day! It has three points and looks quite fearsome."

Town Crier tells you, "Yesterday I found a Wool Fez of Cooking Mastery! I should start a catering service!"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard the story of the undead mace master who doesn't realize he is dead? He is a sad, strange little man."

Town Crier tells you, "I found some very nice boots in the wilderness recently. Much more protective than what I could buy in a shop."

Town Crier tells you, "The master smiths who forged gemstone armor were all slain repeatedly! They are now so weak they cannot craft the armor with its original strength!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oswald was sighted on Aerlinthe Island yesterday!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I killed the armor smiths. They annoyed me, with all their attitude about making these elite suits or armor. I'm pretty spry for an old man, huh?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw the strangest thing in the northern forests. Huge blue auroch and a big Monouga named Paul."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Kimchi cures vitae, you know. Good stuff, so it is."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, " I hear tell that a family of Tremendous Monougas now lives under the Obsidian Span."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear tell that Bael'Zharon's parents were drunkards, and they would tie him up in the trees for their drunken fun. That's why he's so poorly adjusted."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been getting... some reports... of portal storms... Asheron... is fixing... the portal network... I love Asheron... I've got mail!"
