Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Gabrielle, in Rithwic, seems to have been given new orders. I only know what I hear."
Town Crier tells you, "A vile smell has risen from the Blackmire swamp. People in Sawato have made mention that there is something growing in the old Sclavus Fort there."
Town Crier tells you, "All the capital cities are abuzz with activity. Even Linvak Tukal and Timaru have seen arrivals of representatives of the Queen."
Town Crier tells you, "News from Uziz is that Gersan, Gervena and Gerlok have been a bit busier recently."
Town Crier tells you, "Just a little while ago, my cousin asked me to put an apple on my head. I did, and he promptly ran off a bit and produced a Weeping Bow and shot the apple off of my head. I've never seen an arrow fly so fast or straight before!"
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that a lugian Captain has been put in charge of collecting some information for the High Queen. Why do we really need their help?"
Town Crier tells you, "I think when I get some time off, I will take some time to look around Al-Jalima. I've seen and heard tell that the High Queen has had emissaries passing through the area recently."
Town Crier tells you, "I heard that someone from the Royal Guard has appeared in Dryreach! Maybe they are there to liberate that poor, forgotten town?"
Town Crier tells you, "Rumors are coming in that the Gotrok and Renegade Tumeroks are doing something in the eastern direland swamps. I wonder what they are up to..."
You feel an extra weight in your backpack. It is there momentarily and then disappears.
Town Crier tells you, "It must have been a Burun. Anyway, have a good day."
Town Crier tells you, "A few reports have floated in about the Hollow, Phantom, and Weeping ranged weapons. It seems that a modification made to these weapons has rendered them capable of releasing their arrows, bolts, and darts at incredible rates of speed."
Town Crier tells you, "All around Al-Jalima there has been a quiet calm. The High Queen called for a bit of aid to the village and aid came for a time. But it seems that the creatures of this world are learning that the aid will eventually wane, and they creep ever closer to our cities."
Town Crier tells you, "Gersan, Gervena and Gerlok have been talking about working with the crystals found in the dungeons that held... well... Asheron's enemy at bay. It seems that they've been able to refine and improve their processes. Oh, and did you know that another portal appeared to one of the dungeons along the edge of the inner sea? Fancy that, eh?"
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard of Captain K'rank, but what I have heard is rather foolish. Seems that at one time he was a bit of stickler about clothing, yelling out insults to those that wore unmatched clothing. Silly Lugian. Now it appears that he is organizing some sort of fact gathering missions."
Town Crier tells you, "Do you think that the Burun are looking for ways to bring more of them to this world? Maybe you should wait until you've been to the latest find in the Direlands. But you didn't hear it from me."
Town Crier tells you, "My feet hurt. My head aches. My nose itches. My eyes are watery. My tummy hurts too. I need a vacation."
Town Crier tells you, "The fort in the Blackmire swamp seems to be complete. There is no way inside, at least not that can be seen and Burun line the walls. The Renegades have left but the hulking Burun have taken their place. Then of course, there is the smell."
Town Crier tells you, "I don't know about you, but I feel awful bad about disturbing the crypts of those sleeping undead. Dericost, Falatacot, either way, it is just not right."

Known Issues
