Cogs in the Machine

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All this time I thought the Apostate Virindi were fixing to capture us all and drain the life out of us. Turns out we're not the target this time. I could tell you more, but I'd rather drain the life out of a mug of stout. So anything you can do to help that initiative along..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I think Sean the Speedy's running out of places to mark, because he's gone for some of the hard-to-miss sites now."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nurino? Nice guy, but I think the fumes from Xarabydun are getting to him. A suit of armor fell on him in the royal palace and now he thinks he sees 'Gear Knights' everywhere. Take it from me, he's crazy, and I know crazy."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, it's fall. That's good, I was getting tired of summer. All the heat makes me thirsty. Wait, no, I'm still thirsty. That's a hint, kid, get me some stout."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You may be looking forward to festival season, but I'm not. It seems like every year bad stuff starts happening around then. Like all the bad guys in Dereth save all their big plans for the times when it's most festive. That just seems mean-spirited. It'd be much kinder to make trouble in the summer, when the cool dungeon air will be a nice break from the heat."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Clockwork soldiers? Yeah, right. Now pull the other one, it's got bells on."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Did you know my face is on the Soul Staff?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yup, I'm immortalized! It's the third face down. Some people may claim it's the guy who created the staff, but he's nobody and I'm famous."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Fall has come back around! My favorite time of year. Time to gather the lads and throw around the old pigskin. Wait, what do you mean there are no pigs in Dereth? Where the heck has my bacon been coming from, then?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "For some reason, sky diving is on my mind. Ever been sky diving? It's the greatest. Let me tell you about a spell I cooked up once, called 'Portal to Teth'..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was just in Eastham the other day, talking to Hei Shou, and she had an interesting theory about what the Apostate Virindi are really up to. As soon as I realized that her theory had nothing to do with applesauce, though, I dismissed it as the unfocused ravings of a crank."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress story. Like I heard about how poor Ries Woron had his wife kidnapped by those bandits. Chivalrous as I am, I swooped in there and took her from the kidnappers. I'll release her as soon as Ries pays me with her weight in stout... I mean, that's only fair, right?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, really, I know exactly what the Apostates are up to. They're going to flay us all and harvest our organs so they can appear more human. I told Claude he couldn't possibly pass for a human without organs, and ever since he's been muttering about how 'More organs equals more human' or something like that."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What, no more strange and awful developments from the town of Mar'uun? I admit, for all that I called them attention-needy gits in the past, I miss their misadventures."
