A sad message from the newsdesk.

It is with heavy heart that we must announce the illness of our star reporter, NonBias. Despite taking great care, he was unable to avoid contracting one of the plagues that have rocked the great city of Ulm. Apparently more toads fell recently, denying the city the chance to recover that it so desperately needed.

He didn't consider leaving for an instant. Knowing the danger, he thought only of his public and their need to know the news of the day.

This editor, on behalf of all the staff here, would like to thank the Lt. Governor of Ulm, who has generously offered NonBias a room in the VIP ward of the new hospital which the Governors palace has recently been converted into. The former governor is also ill. With the blessings of his god, Tag Klatu, may the Lt Governor remain healthy.

NonBias was able to send us some information, and vows to continue his reporting until such time as his bed is turned over to another patient. May that day be far off, unless he has a miraculous recovery!

Apparently the bulk of the staff at Ulms prestigious College of Alchaemical research have contracted plagues. They have bravely sworn to continue their work until the fever grows too great and they take to their death beds! It appears that NonBias will have some very interesting ward mates. if he lives long enough, perhaps he can provide us with a fascinating interview.

We have just received word that a small Ulmish army also suffered from the Rain of Toads. It was apparently marching north towards Jotunheim, but we're not certain of it's location or health status. If we receive more accurate information we will let you know.

As always, when you need to know, we will let you know, all there is to know.
