This article is about a character from Ultima VII. For other uses, see Gregory (disambiguation).
Greg is the provisioner in Britain during Ultima VII.
Description[edit]
Greg was an enthusiastic and cheerful merchant. He had moved his Provisions Shop from Paws to Britain in recent years, explaining that Lord British was a frequent customer of his and that he purchased his equipment for adventuring exclusively from his store. He even claimed that the Avatar, had been a customer – although an astute real Avatar would quickly ascertain that the young man had been taken in by an impostor, likely Sullivan.[1]
When quizzed about his shop's popularity, the young storekeeper cited his perceived supernatural quality of luck about him, and that his natural good fortune allegedly had a habit of rubbing off on his goods. He related that the famed adventurer Gorn, as an example, had once purchased a shovel from him which had inadvertently saved him from a group of skeletons.[2]
