New Dialog

Town Crier

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Augmentation gems. I'll never be able to use one of those at my level. I can only imagine the power that must flow through an adventurers as that wave of color washes over them when they learn a new augmentation and there are many more to learn now."

Town Crier tells you, "First my cousin tells me that there are strange mechanical creatures. Now he's telling me you can make all sorts of devices with some form of crafting they brought with them. I'm not sure how much of this I can really believe."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you gone to see Sean the Speedy yet to hear about the next set of Explorers' Society map markers to find?"

Town Crier tells you, "I've always wanted to see a scarab come to life and fly away and now I have."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors of an army of mechanical men are marching through the Direlands!"

Town Crier tells you, "It seems like the Woron Family is happily reunited, thanks to the intrepid adventurers who answered their calls for help."

Town Crier tells you, "News! Rand the Hunter has updated his creature bounties. Find him in Holtburg to see what he's marked this time."

Town Crier tells you, "There are strange reports from adventurers who have been exploring the Eastern shore of the Inner Sea."

Town Crier tells you, "Woosh! Woosh! That sound is all I seem to hear any more. All these large weapons being flailed around, it seems dangerous to me."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "All you map hounds are encouraged to see Sean the Speedy in Holtburg. Word is he's got a thing for, ahem, dangerous places this month."

Town Crier tells you, "It also seems that Sean the Speedy has finally finished his rounds of hiding markers, and has a special reward for those who find all of them."

Town Crier tells you, "Formerly undesirable materials now seem to be in demand by crafters. If I can remember right those materials are Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Amber, Pyreal and ... err... right! Gromnie Hide."

Town Crier tells you, "I have been keeping track of a lot of new information, there's so much going on. I don't have everything set yet but I know of Augmentation trainers in Cragstone, Ayan Baqur and Hebian-to, there are more I know but not their locations."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear that Ries Woron enjoys telling the tale of the Unknown Warrior. If you'd like to hear a story told with so much detail you feel you are actually there, you should seek him out above the tavern in Baishi."

Town Crier tells you, "If you have heard tell of "Gearcrafting" it seems it may be true. I saw someone running around with some kind of magnifying glass that seemed to help him kill creatures."

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin told me he saw an army of mechanical men digging for something in the northern Direlands. I wonder what they're looking for."

Town Crier tells you, "Rand the Hunter has marked a new set of creatures for bounties. This time I hear he's in a mechanical mood. Find him in Holtburg if you feel up to the task."

Town Crier tells you, "Oh just like everyone else, my advice is only good enough for a paltry amount of pyreals! Well thank you, Mr. Pyrealbags this'll go a long way toward providing for my family. I'm sure that an egg will feed me, my three kids and my spouse... you have no idea!

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "See! See what the Virindi have brought on us now?!? First Applesause, now killer robots!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I hear there is no trouble involving Ries Woron lately, who would of guessed after months of nothing but whining. Oh I've been hurt, oh my wife is missing, almost as bad as listening to my ex-wife."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You don't think I ended up here on accident do you? I saw a portal and figured whatever was on the other side was better then what was at home."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Heh, I think Rand the Hunter is trying to send us a message with this month's bounties. And that message is that Nurino may not be as crazy as I recently thought he is. Either that, or someone's been passing some really good Stout around."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found this great pack lately. It holds even more Stout than the Colosseum Packs. Great for exploring without getting too thirsty."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I went to Baishi to have a drink and there is none other than Ries Woron. He starts rambling on and on about the Unknown Warrior and the adventures in their hideout. Luckily I could drink faster than he could talk and he left me alone, or I passed out, I don't really remember."
