- Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that people have found something new of Lilitha's."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant
Free Rumors
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so people are seeking out Rytheran for what he knows about the book, are they? They should have come to me. I already know all about that book. Read it years ago. Here's a hint
- everyone dies in the end."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, Lilitha just came through here, looking for her bow. Heh, okay, I'm pulling your leg. Lilitha hasn't been here in ages. Not since I stole her bow after that one night of drunken carousing. She was a fine warrior, but she couldn't hold her liquor."

- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Exactly! They weren't!"
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I heard the Nutty Prophesier has been spouting a bunch of crazy warnings about something evil coming and eating us all."

- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was before I started having the nightmares again. I can't remember them, but... they werent good."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you heard about those changes in the Green Mire Grave? I remember my first adventures in there, when I was new to Dereth... I used to stand on the other side of locked doors and make people tell me knock-knock jokes to open the door for them..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That all ended when Oswald came through. He wouldn't tell me a joke, so I told him to pick the lock by himself. I do believe he shivved me in the kidney, right through the door lock!"
Stout Rumors
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Doesn't it feel like something's in the air? There's a certain smell, a smell of things changing, alignments shifting. Like a new island could arise out of the sea, or some chunk of land could fall off of Dereth... It smells like impending catastrophe."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, wait, that's just my socks."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, I really admire that Harlune fellow. I mean, he taught Celcynd everything he knows, right? And Celcynd spends all of his time in a bar drinking! Clearly, Harlune is wise."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, summer. My favorite time of year, when the tourists flock to Ayan Baqur for the cool ocean breezes and the periodic invasions of hordes of hostile creatures. I like to barbecue in the summer. But the last time I did, Aerbax came and stole all the stout. I'll never forgive him for that."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All right, I'll try again. Here, take this to the Jester. It's my finest home brew."
- Ulgrim crosses his arms and smiles proudly.
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Once he tries that he won't be able to get enough of the stuff and I can finally make peace with the nutter. Maybe even have him over for a few drinks. I never said he wasn't interesting, just a Sira-loonie."
If you take Ulgrim's Home Brew to the Jester as he suggests, the Jester will portal you back to Ulgrim the Unpleasant in Ayan Baqur (dropping you from several hundred feet up in the air).
- You give Jester Ulgrim's Home Brew.
- Jester tells you, "For me? Thanks!"
- The Jester dumps the stout out on the ground and puts the mug on his head.
- Jester tells you, "How do I look? Stylish eh?"
- Jester tells you, "I like this Ulgrim fellow. Go thank him for the wonderful hat for me."
- Jester tells you, "I'll have to invite him for a game of cards some day soon."
