Well in Ulm we like round numbers, mostly because we don't know how to work with jagged numbers as our priest smiths keep on hammering them back into round shapes.

The commanders wanted to go with either 100% or 00%, but it was pointed out that no one would go for the 1st, and the 2nd was pointless, so they decided to split the difference.

The commanders asked for a nice sharp sword with which to split this difference, having forgotten apparently that Ulm has no natural earth gem income, but the forge priests just told them that they would go ahead and split it for them, so that was settled.

The commanders then approached the soothsayers to get a new prediction so that they could win their black plate back. The soothsayers mumbled something about frozen fishies, which the commanders interpreted as a dinner order, so they are now setting off to find some fire gems since they don't like to eat their meals cold.

On the way our they ran into some more goth kids who demanded to know when the Vampire Counts were coming. Thinking this was the name of some new emo band the commanders promised to check at TicketMaster as soon as they had scrounged up the fire gems for the soothsayers.

In any case, the people of ulm are very confused about everything other than smashing random militias and archers.
