New Dialog

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "I'm so relieved we aren't wearing those masks anymore. I just hope next month we don't have to wear any silly red suits."

Town Crier tells you, "SouthbySoutheastward Ho! There's land to be found off of the coast near Mayoi."

Town Crier tells you, "I don't want to seem rude, but have you been fighting Moarsmen lately? Maybe you should take a bath."

Town Crier tells you, "Many new monsters have been discovered on the Vesayen Islands."

Town Crier tells you, "Army camps for both sides are gathering on the Vesayen Islands as the Shadows and Undead seem poised for battle."

Town Crier tells you, "Sir Candeth Martine has still not been found. The society is very concerned."

Town Crier tells you, "Apparently the Shadows and Undead sometimes use weaker creatures as lackeys in their recent struggles."

Town Crier tells you, "Yesterday while trying to find a fez...actually, I'm lying. I'm always standing here in this same spot! When do I have the time to go fez hunting?"

Town Crier tells you, "Kryst has been found! Can you believe that the residents there still think that there is an Olthoi invasion going on? They should be relieved to know that all we have to worry about are the Shadows."

Town Crier tells you, "There are reports of Mosswarts worshipping stone idols far to the southeast."

Town Crier tells you, "Explorers hacking deep into the jungles of Vesayen report seeing a giant ruined structure defended by an army of undead."

Town Crier tells you, "Don't give up on those Blue Phyntos Wasps yet. They may just surprise you."

Town Crier tells you, "I always enjoy looking up into the sky and watching the pretty birds."

Town Crier tells you, "The sun finally looks like a proper sun should!"

Town Crier tells you, "Hmm, you know, we stand here all day and night dispensing valuable advice to adventurers, and yet we must rely on the kindness of strangers to make a living. It's time we formed a union!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So, have ye killed your first Tremendous Monouga yet? What a great trophy you can get off'em - a toenail clipping you can use as a sword! And they cut through enchantments! And do 50 damage!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I once lived on an island. For a long time, too. Me and a Skipper sure had some good times"
