Summary
The bells of Memoriam College ring out from high in the tower. At the top of the hour, The Diligent Peal marks the start and end of classes, ushering students from room to room. At half past, The Indolent Peal chimes, waking students who have slept in, letting them know exactly how long they have to get to class. The bells don't ring cleanly; the first note is pitched differently to the third, for example. The fifth sounds as thought it belongs to an entirely different tower. There is a rumour that, on the foundation of the college and the building of the tower, one bell was taken from the spires of each of Marielda's parishes and installed in Memoriam. Perhaps it is untrue. Who could say. Climb the bell tower and look out at the other churches in the distance, hear their distant notes. What a beautiful view. What a beautiful city.

| 0:05.0 | Because you should be pondering that particular question by now. |
| 0:10.0 | I know you've seen all type of war, bloody crusades and cold secular skirmishes both. |
| 0:17.0 | We've all heard the generals talk about honor and greed, about justice and need. |
| 0:25.0 | But behind all that, if you ask me, is fear. |
| 0:29.0 | Fear is why people go to war. |
| 0:32.0 | But for as fallible as the gods are and they are, they ain't |
| 0:37.6 | mortals. They ain't much that should scare folks like Samothies and Samat, like Severia and Tristero. |
| 0:45.0 | These are powerful beings, not like you. They squabble over concepts the way families |
| 0:51.9 | argue about bills. |
| 0:54.4 | They live in palaces of gold and fire and wind, |
| 0:58.5 | castles they built with their own hands and ingenuity. So you should be asking yourself, what makes a thing like that, |
| 1:07.0 | afraid? What makes a thing like me? Afraid? Oh, So, The The Oh, The The door opens wide and there's an operating theatre. |
| 2:40.0 | So I've successfully picked it? |
| 2:42.0 | You've successfully picked it? You've successfully picked it. |
| 2:44.0 | You go inside, there is a clean steel table on the middle. |
| 2:50.0 | You can look up and see that there is an observation room above, which is empty, and once you're both inside the room, |
| 2:58.8 | Silas closes the door behind him and swings his cane at your head. What do you do? |
| 3:06.0 | Um... |
| 3:10.0 | Um... |
| 3:12.0 | It's a little too much to ask to try and take the plus one dice for throwing my disguise off, isn't it? |
