Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seems that the baby animals around Dereth have begun to grow up. I hate waiting a year to have baby bunny stew again."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went and collected all of those extra Prickly Pears out near Neftet. I don't think people realize what a powerful brew they can be turned into."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Olthoi Brood Matrons seem like such push overs lately. It used to be fun to go play catch with them, but now they just don't seem so impressive."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ler Rhan seems to be getting serious about his plans lately. I think he might try to bring The Hopeslayer back to cause havoc in Dereth. I don't even have a joke for that since if he succeeds, that would truly be a terrible thing."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't you worry about where Deewain went to. I'm taking good care of the big softy."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The collectors on Dark Isle have found a new item they are interested in, Corrupted Essences. They seem to be a bit more stingy than before though, as they only want 100 of these items a day. Well I am here to make a stand against such limits. From here on out I will accept as much stout per day as you wish to give me. Hand me another stout and I will show you my dedication to this mission."
