New Dialog

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "A friend of mine says that he talked with Ulgrim the other day and he seemed different. He couldn't figure out why exactly."

Town Crier tells you, "A mosswart named Grearrk walked into Sawato bawling and bleating. Apparently it found its way into the tavern there. The barkeep knows more."

Town Crier tells you, "An adventurer traveling through town from the north told me that Celdiseth's tumerok apprentice, Aun Aulakhe, has learned new ways to improve that fearsome Invoker of his."

Town Crier tells you, "Aun Aulakhe has sent word that Portal Space disruptions are causing the very boundaries within it to disintegrate."

Town Crier tells you, "I can't believe that Ulgrim killed Nuhmudira... I hear he's on the run from her students now."

Town Crier tells you, "I have it on good authority that Ulgrim was seen at a bar a few days ago. Apparently he was drinking heavily.".

Town Crier tells you, "I hear Ulgrim has been seen all over the place. It's hard to figure out how he could be in so many places at once."

Town Crier tells you, "I'm wildly speculating, but maybe Ulgrim saw something he shouldn't have. Now he sleeps with the fishes."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tales that tumeroks are gathering from all directions at a point to the north of Yaraq. No outsiders are welcome near their fire -- what unknown purpose could be so important?"

Town Crier tells you, "If I were an adventurous soul, which I am not, I'd be looking arround the Blackmire Swamp for anything out of the ordinary."

Town Crier tells you, "Mosswarts coming into town and asking for help, speaking Roulean no less. Who would have ever thought?"

Town Crier tells you, "My sister's best friend's neighbor says that Ulgrim was kidnapped by a Tremendous Monouga."

Town Crier tells you, "My Uncle's nephew says that Ulgrim went to live with the Tuskers and learn to throw poo."

Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Aun Aulakhe, in the Tumerok akiekie to the north, has given his faithful Windreave Saritea permission to trade old Invokers for ones with even more powerful magics than before."

Town Crier tells you, "Someone saw Ulgrim on a road near Shoushi. I wonder where he's heading."

Town Crier tells you, "They say that there is a temple buried beneath the Blackmire Swamp, I wonder what is in there?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant

In this update, Ulgrim was found in the Dryreach tavern after he had had an accident at the nearby broken Lifestone. See the Ulgrim's Bathrobe Quest for more details.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "I have a splitting headache, literally!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "Oh, the pain!"

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So, who named that new desert town anyway. Sure Martine probably saved us all, sure he gave his life for us, sure he turned out to be a hero. Who cares! We should have called the place Ulgrim's Ridge. Now that's a town name with style!"

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So, I missed out on all of the Olthoi business awhile back. I was consumed by my new hobby of house decorating. Asheron had my address in case things got out of hand."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm a little confused though, I heard that Elysa almost died and Asheron almost died, but Nuhmudira took on the Olthoi Queen with a group of brave souls and drove the buggers back. So why isn't Nuhmudira having all sorts of medals and honors bestowed on her?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Really? And she wasn't questioned? Huh, not sure how to feel about that. Well if it comes to it Elysa's still my Queen."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Someone's been staying at my house. I noticed my porridge was eaten and my bed was all mussed up. If I catch him he'll be sorry."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know I'm glad my duplicates are gone, but I've been thinking of the glorious things we could have accomplished."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have formed an Fellowship of Ulgrim, roaming the land looking for people to save and drinks to be drunk."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have tried out a few of the group spells I've been dabbling with."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We could have gone on fishing trips."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "...I miss those guys."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Where's everyone getting those slick looking hats and suits from?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd look pretty good in one of those getups don't you think?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yeah, I'd be like Jack Diamond in the "Dark Mystery of the Stolen Stuff!""

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a great story."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Filled Beer Stein.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Is Asheron still on his island? I guess he and Elysa are still on the outs then. I should check in on him and make sure he doesn't need something."
