Town Crier Rumors
Viamontian Town Criers
Town Crier tells you, "Tell [sic] There is word from the mainland that a Sho named Pau Yajin in Sawato seeks assistance from those who have already involved themselves in the investigation of the Tanada House of Water."
Town Crier tells you, "The King has reluctantly agreed to spread the bloodless leaders request for help. Ahem."
Town Crier tells you, "Hear ye, Hear ye! The bloodless harlot cowers in her castle while her inept warriors test their mettle against a new breed of Olthoi that have appeared to the North of their town Arwic. Feel free to show them how a true warrior fights."
Town Crier tells you, "It seems that the bloodless have attracted an interesting shopkeep to their town of Arwic. Word is that he requires proof of heroic deeds before he will sell to someone."
Town Crier tells you, "Hehe, my child could buy something from him before a bloodless warrior had proof of heroism."
Town Crier tells you, "Tell [sic] How nice of the Bloodless to go into a dangerous place and not actually fix the problem... typical of them, really."
Town Crier tells you, "Tell [sic] There is word from the mainland that a Sho named Pau Yajin in Sawato seeks assistance from those who have already involved themselves in the investigation of the Tanada House of Water."
Town Crier tells you, "Varicci might want his followers to gather information about these special monougas that people have discovered. Worm your way into the confidence of the Bloodless - see what you can find."
Town Crier tells you, "The bloodless pretender to the throne has sent our King a warning that the Olthoi located in what they call the Olthoi North have begun to spread. The King suggests that slaying this new breed of Olthoi may prove a diverting task for any warrior that finds themselves burdened with time."
Town Crier tells you, "We have news that a man of Sawato named Pau Yajin calls for the aid of those who have already helped Meshenq and Sayuji Jina investigate the Tanada House of Water. If you have already involved yourself in the affairs of the Tanada, it might serve our interests if you were to pursue this matter to its conclusion and speak with him."

Town Crier tells you, "The royal family went and discovered some interesting things about the Monouga Feeding Pit. See Corporal Liao Chen in Cragstone for more information."
Town Crier tells you, "Queen Elysa has asked those able to investigate the dangerous new Olthoi spreading from the southern edge of the Olthoi North. You are to be warned that these Olthoi are unusually deadly, so be cautious."
Town Crier tells you, "The family that slays together, stays together, right?"
Town Crier tells you, "If you've been helping Ben Ten and others solve the mystery of the Tanada clan, I urge you to go to Sawato. There is a man there named Pau Yajin who seeks all those who helped Meshenq with the Tanada House of Water."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ha! Temple of Black Water? I know what that means! They're not brewing evil over there, kid, they're brewing beer!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Evil lookin' Olthoi about these days. I happened to see some of that strange breed North of Arwic."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's enough to drive a man to drink."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Mark my words the Virindi are behind this. That or the Falatacot. Or perhaps the Dericost or maybe the Shadows..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Mark my words! Someone is behind this!"
Stout Rumors:
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's time I revealed myself as the true master of the Temple of Black Water. Yes, I'm the one that corrupted the Tanada. Their Master back on Ispar once lost his fancy jade medallion to me in a drinking contest when we were in school, and I accidentally dropped the medallion into a pint of Ol' Stumpy's Slobberknocker Stout. The Tanada were never quite the same after that medallion got its dip into Ol' Stumpy..."
