Ulgrim Rumors
Free Rumors:
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "One of those new olthoi came by to visit me a week ago, I blasted his head off with only one spell. Another one came by today and for some reason it took more then one spell to blow him to pieces. I must be hungover."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There's been a strange giant present in my house for what seems like years now. I finally opened it and all I got was a mana forge key. I can't drink a mana forge key."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I think this is the first winter in a long time that I didn't get snow blindness when I wandered through the woods. Now if I could just manage to make foot prints in the snow in a straight line."

Stout Rumors:
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm glad those harvest reapers have disappeared again. Every fall they try to raid my stash of stout, bunch of alcoholics that they are."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I followed some guy around the other day as he collected the presents from past winters. I asked him what he was doing and he replied that he was hiding the presents in new spots. I told him a great spot and he thanked me with a stout, seemed like a nice guy."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I ran into Deewain the other day, a good friend of mine from the olden days, and he seemed pretty angry. I asked him what he was whining about and he said that some of the Empyreans who had him destroyed have returned to Dereth. Those Empyreans better watch their backs, Deewain is almost as tough as me."
