=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===

<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "Why did the Siraluun cross the road? To eat my sister."

:Town Crier tells you, "How many drudges does it take to light a candle? Six. One to hold the candle, one to strike the flint and four to rob a passerby of the flint and the candle."

:Town Crier tells you, "Renegade Tumeroks are marching on Dryreach! Queen Elysa is looking for brave adventurers to investigate!"

:Town Crier tells you, "A Siraluun walks into a tavern. The barkeep tells him "We do not serve Siraluuns here!""<br>
:Town Crier tells you, "The Siraluun says, "That is quite alright, I just want a drink.""

:Town Crier tells you, "The other day I saw a shady-looking man, all in green armor, hanging out by the bowyer's shop. He winked when he saw me, and then he just... disappeared. I mean, I guess he could have slipped around the corner of the building, but..."

:Town Crier tells you, "An olthoi walked into a tavern. The barkeep told him "We do not serve your kind here." The olthoi immediately raised his claws and disembowled the barkeep. Then he drank from the tapped keg."

:Town Crier tells you, "What, you think I am telling a funny tale? This is a news item."

:Town Crier tells you, "Can Shadowhunter armor be improved now? Only the Shadowhunter Armor owners know..."

:Town Crier tells you, "Say, if you are skilled in fletching you may be able to use a shield with your thrown weapon."</font>
