Town Crier Rumors
Viamontian Town Criers
Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that the strange Night Club dungeon will re-open for the anniversary festival..."
Town Crier tells you, "Let the scaly dogs up on our plateau have all the weeds they want - the plants are useless anyway."
Town Crier tells you, "There are reports of undead unrest in the Bloodless desert town of Al-Jalima."
Town Crier tells you, "We've still got better archmages than the Bloodless, but it seems their wayward Virindi archmage has returned."
Town Crier tells you, "Ah, feel that chill in the air. See the creatures of the wilds assume their winter coats. Fall is coming. And with that... comes the ridiculous costume festival that the Bloodless are so fond of."
Town Crier tells you, "It seems that the Bloodless cravens in Glenden Wood are getting ready to abandon their town once again to this ridiculous Majestic Pumpkin."
Town Crier tells you, "There are new items to be acquired in the Colosseum. Apparently Gladiators can earn Colosseum Coins and buy all sorts of junk with them. I don't care about the junk, but we need to have more of it than the Bloodless."
Town Crier tells you, "I have heard reports of a Bloodless collector trading items for small glands retrieved from those strangely touched Olthoi in the north of the Bloodless Lands."
Town Crier tells you, "Several notables on the mainland have let it be known that they will reward people for hunting Virindi. Go seek them out in the Bloodless towns of the Direlands if you are curious."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Not only have the credulous citizens of Glenden Wood given in once again to their yearly pumpkin hysteria, but now there are claims that a Pumpkin Golem now stands against all challengers in the Colosseum. Really, now! This is too much!"
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "I have several reports of a Bloodless collecting small glands from the 'Paradox-touched' Olthoi in the north of the Bloodless Lands. He has set up in the encampment placed there by the Bloodless Queen."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Want to pick weeds? North of Marescent plateau is the place to go."
Town Crier tells you, "The dirty Tumerok known as 'Kelauri' supposedly communes with spirits using the atuakeh plant."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "So I have heard that you can now get a cow mask, or even a whole cow costume, from the mask crafters of the Bloodless lands. Is this some gutless ploy of the mainland weaklings to mock our well-beloved Red Bull of Sanamar? Or are they really foolish enough to want to dress up like cows?"
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "We cannot allow the Bloodless warriors prove themselves superior in the Colosseum. I know the very thought is laughable, but they gain more of those Colosseum Coins every day. Insure that King Varicci can be proud of those who fight in his name. Acquire more Colosseum Coins than the Bloodless!"
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Four individuals, in the towns of Wai Jhou, Ayan Baqur, Candeth Keep, and Qalaba'r, are offering bounties on a number of different types of Virindi."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "I don't know why the Bloodless persist in allowing monsters to staff their shops, but you can ask the monster known as Leopold about the monster known as Claude..."
Town Crier tells you, "Sclavus? They're different."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "The Bloodless town of Al-Jalima seems to be under attack from undead forces. Are these zombies related to the unrest in the Direlands graveyard? Or is it just another case of Bloodless superstition run amok?"
Mainland Town Criers
Town Crier tells you, "News! There are rumors of zombie unrest in Al-Jalima!"
Town Crier tells you, "There are rumors that the Night Club will re-open for this year's anniversary celebrations. Maybe it already has! I wouldn't know, I'm not hip enough to get invited to these things."
Town Crier tells you, "There seems to be a great amount of interest in bounties on Virindi these days. I'd ask around in towns if I were you, especially the towns in and around the Direlands."
Town Crier tells you, "It's that time of year again! The leaves are turning, creatures are shifting from their summer coats to their winter coats, and the crafters of Dereth are turning creature parts into the most intriguing costumes..."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that the Arcanum is rewarding adventurers for small glands collected from those eerie Paradox-touched Olthoi."
Town Crier tells you, "News! Glenden Wood awaits the re-appearance of the Majestic Pumpkin!"
Town Crier tells you, "The good... well, sort of good... news is that Claude's back. The bad news is that... well, maybe you ought to go see for yourself."
Town Crier tells you, "They should make those new Colosseum Coins out of chocolate! That way you can eat them if you don't want to buy the overpriced stuff they sell. Oh, did I mention that there is a new form of currency you can earn in the Colosseum?"
Town Crier tells you, "Some Aun Tumeroks will give you a little money for gathering something called 'atuakeh'."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "If you get the chance, try and get into the Night Club. It's a great way to celebrate the anniversary."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Interested in Claude's new condition? Talk to Leopold for a little more information."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Townsfolk in Qalaba'r, Wai Jhou, Candeth Keep, and Ayan Baqur are offering bounties for Virindi of all shapes and sizes! How timely!"
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "If you're into hunting zombies, I'd keep an eye on Al-Jalima. Shucks, you'd almost think that town was built on an ancient Empyrean burial ground or something."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Atuakeh can most easily be found north of Marescent Plateau."
Town Crier tells you, "It's said that Aun Kelauri knows an additional use for atuakeh."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "There is a Gharu'ndim in the camp over the Paradox-touched Olthoi area who is bartering items in exchange for small glands from the infected Olthoi."
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Someone handed me a Colosseum Coin today. I don't have a lot of time to practice my fighting skills so it's the first one I've seen. I can't wait to go to the Colosseum and spend it!"
You give Town Crier Pyreal.
Town Crier tells you, "Have you got your mask yet? I'm a particular fan of the undead sailor mask. Two outfits for the price of one!"
Ulgrim Rumors
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bug Glands?!? The Arcanum is collecting Bug Glands?!?!?! I wonder if they can be used in making stout... Ulgrim's Bug-Juice Stout. Sounds perfect for the costume festival."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "My buddy Claude's back!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Uh, I mean..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I pledge to remain eternally vigilant against the Virindi threat."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A Pumpkin Golem in the Colosseum now? Preposterous. I refuse to believe it. What's the reward for defeating it? A bag full of candy?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know what's good about the chilly nights of fall? Makes it acceptable to drink warm beer. Normally, I'd dump the mug over your head if you brought me a warm stout. But somehow it's okay in the fall."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint, kid. Get me a stout."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I need to get another storage chest. I've collected so many Colosseum Coins that I just can't store them anymore. Maybe I'll melt them down and have them cast into a statue of me..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It can say 'Ultimate Champion of the Colosseum', Yes, I think that will do nicely."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Boy, there's no telling what kind of bizarre costumes you can make out of critter parts! Why, one year, there was a guy who made a costume out of some part he'd scavenged off the carcass of the Tremendous Monouga. I think he said he was dressed as a sausage."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy Anniversary! Where are you planning to spend it? In the Night Club, bumping and grinding with the Tusker dancers? I'll be curled up at home with a good book and a mug of mulled stout."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've seen this year's masks, and I'll tell you something. Masks aren't the same as they were when I first settled here, no. In my day, you'd settle for a balloon-shaped Mosswart head mask, and you'd be darn happy for it! Now there are the cows, and the undead sailors, and Mukkir... Doesn't anyone want to be a Mosswart any more?"
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Zombies are raiding?!? Where? Oh, not here? Why did you think I'd care then, kid? I almost spilled my stout. Then you'd definitely have a problem on your hands."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Go inside Claude's head? Not for all the stout in Ispar, my friend. That's a lesson you should remember. No telling when that might come in useful."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Want to know the secret to beating the Colosseum?"
Ulgrim looks around to make sure no one else is listening.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Give the Master Arbitrator some Molten Pyreal Stout with some Colosseum Coins in it for flavor. He loves that stuff and he gets so drunk he'll reward you anything you want."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you ever had a nightmare where it felt like adventurers were killing you over and over, hunting for that one trophy that they knew you sometimes carry with you? I mean, I know I went through that a few years ago, but it feels like it's started again. Maybe I should lay off the stout? Nah..."
You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Someone's taken out a bounty on Virindi, eh? I wonder how much Claude is worth. Maybe I could bring his head in and get enough money to start my own brewery. I'd even name a brew after the smiling rascal. 'Inscrutable Git Ale' or something like that."
