Persuasion

Town Crier tells you, "Martine's forces have landed in the Direlands, and they mean business. My cousin just got back from the lifestone and couldn't stop muttering something about "popping" corpses and glowing bugs."

Town Crier tells you, "I haven't seen any Virindi around, but I sure have seen a lot more of those weapons."

Town Crier tells you, "With the winter snows receding Snowman sighting have decreased drastically. Many travellers have reported seeing them in the mountains where the snow still remains."

Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has presented the people of Dereth with new statues to commemorate their victories in the field!"

Town Crier tells you, "Did you hear what the Arcanum is saying? Nuhmudira has gone missing, I'd sure like to tell you where she lives. But..."

Town Crier tells you, "Boy those elementals sure are nasty. I hear that some have been seen hiding on the Obsidian Plains now."

Town Crier tells you, "I wonder how the Arcanum gained the knowledge to create these wonderful new statues for us?"

Town Crier tells you, "Someone said something about Olthoi working with Martine, What next!?"

Town Crier tells you, "The Giant Snowmen that appeared during the winter months have mysteriously vanished. The Jolly Snowman seemed unphased by this news though stating "they'll be back again someday.""

Town Crier tells you, "A Tin Smith has reportedly been selling new cooking implements to vendors in select locations."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear that many people have been seen around the Virindi crafters, handing in their quiddity ingots."

Town Crier tells you, "Nuhmudira's mansion borders the swamp and desert. Be careful--my cousin warns that her Zharalim are guarding that place with their lives. You may be able to approach it from the front if you are very careful."

Town Crier tells you, "If you go to fight Martine's forces you should make sure that you protect yourself again lighting, acid, fire and ice. The elementals are changing."

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know what the Virindi call a Royal Atlatl with Deadly Darts?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A Royal Atlatl with Deadly Darts. The Virindi aren't all that creative."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A UST huh? You know what that stands for right?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ulgrim's Salvaging Tool."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Pretty impressive, I know, but what do you expect from the Master Tinkerer."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron can't be dead, he's to clingy to just die on us."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had a really bad dream last night. I was gazing into my stout, as I often do, when the surface started to boil and froth and then these four figures seemed to rise out of the suds. Then the most horrible thing happened. They drank my stout! All of it! They just seemed to suck it all up! It was horrible!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Martine seems to have an unhealthy infatuation with the Queen. Stalkers are never good, especially when they're omnipotent."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear Martine finally did it. He blasted Asheron with one of his strike spells."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If he wasn't so wrapped up in his little love drama he might have listened to the old man for once! Bohoo, Martine! We've all had it rough!!! You don't see me going around shooting people!!!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I always thought he would be the end of us..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I guess in a way he will be. Without Asheron, we can't stop Gaerlan."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nice knowing you."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, you are admiring my sword?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's going to be the best sword in all of Dereth! I've already increased it's burden and made it worthless. I just have to figure out why it keeps turning green..."
