| abstract | - Ulgrim was found on the Obsidian Span bridge during this update. Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had a dream that I was standing on the Obsidian Span and three suns were rising over the horizon. The left sun rose pitch black and cast a dark veil over the land, making it shift and twist in the shadow. The right sun was a deep blue and where it shed it's light the land became as one uninterrupted blue plane without life. The center sun was a brilliant red and it's light came in waves of blood raging up the River Prosper." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A moment of silence for seven lost heroes." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Are you standing comfortably?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Then we'll begin..." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Patty Cake" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Patty Cake" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Baker's man" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bake me a cake" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "As fast as you can." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hello? Are you even listening to me?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I have nothing to do with the blue bandages! Figure it out for yourselves!" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been studying other people's dreams recently. Tell me your dream and I'll give you a greater insight into your psyche." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yes, yes, quite common." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I understand." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It was full you say?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That's a perfectly normal dream. The giant mugs of stout are symbols of wholeness and well being and the scantily clad barmaids are a sign of a healthy libido and respect for the womanly form. I wouldn't worry about the talking rabbit to much. He never makes much sense in my dreams either." Ulgrim stumbles and mutters something unintelligible, "Y syh uhla tnaysat ra fyc y piddanvmo. Frah ra yfuga, ra hu muhkan ghaf ev ra fyc y piddanvmo tnaysehk ra fyc y syh, un y syh fru ryt tnaysat ra fyc y piddanvmo." SPOILER| Translation Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So you've heard about Leandra's wonderful new chorizite formula? Yeah, made that same formula years ago, except I used orichalcum. My formula made normal beer mugs larger on the inside than on the outside. I only have the one sample left here. It holds about 30 normal mugs of stout." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's good that she's following in my footsteps though, it shows she's very wise." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been studying other people's dreams recently. Tell me your dream and I'll give you a greater insight into your psyche." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hrmmm." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yes, I see." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "And then?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This is a classic case of Redirected Introspection. You obviously aren't happy with the you that you perceive other people as perceiving you as. This is exemplified by the reoccurrence of water throughout your dream. Also you probably shouldn't drink so much before bedtime." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been studying other people's dreams recently. Tell me your dream and I'll give you a greater insight into your psyche." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Take your time." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What happened then?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Very interesting, continue." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So let me recap to make sure I have it. You dreamed of a Virindi abducting you then strapping you to a weird table and performing horrible experiments on you. And later returning you to your bed as if nothing ever happened?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This is a tough dream to decipher... I'm pretty sure the Virindi represents the hardships in your life and the experiments being performed on you are situations that you feel are out of your control. Or it's equally possible that you are being abducted by Virindi and you need to move somewhere safe where they can't find you. Good luck with that." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The monsters are moving again. It would seem that the Virindi are focusing their control on something else. I think they're planning on taking the Direlands over. You should see the way Claudes been smiling at me recently, like he knows something, that smug cloak-head." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been studying other people's dreams recently. Tell me your dream and I'll give you a greater insight into your psyche." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hmmm." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yes, please continue." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well, what we have here is a case of Mental Divergence. Yes, we need to find out why you are compelled to dream of these "Giant Monougas". Try writing a list of the ten things you are most afraid of and come back and see me next week." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh? Do you always keep a list of your top-ten fears on you? Alright... let's just look at the list, shall we?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I see that you wrote Giant Monouga nine times here, interesting." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "And the last item is A Really Large Monouga. I think I'm beginning to see a pattern." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been studying other people's dreams recently. Tell me your dream and I'll give you a greater insight into your psyche." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Wait... a Mattekar?" Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh dear." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Uh..." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ummm... Your crazy! Next." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I tried getting Claude drunk thinking I could get some information out of him. After various explanations of the social aspects of drinking and it's utility in forming emotional bonds, he lifts the stout mug to his mouth hole. The stout pours right through him and onto the floor. Agh! What a waist! That's alchohol abuse! You can't trust a creature that can't hold their liquor."
