Keeper of the drum at the Drum Tower. Haven't struck it yet today either.

Didn't strike the drum today either. Posting this just to make sure you know I didn't.

MishuaThree people buy that exact piece of news off me every single day.
PapaloThree? Shouldn't I be the one getting paid for it, then.
ChelkaThe tide's more reliable than that drum.
PapaloElder, the tide can't dance.
MatlanJust don't be late the day you finally strike it.

Dropped my drumstick three times today alone. What scares me more is that people are counting along with me.

MatlanA drum keeper with a shaking hand doesn't go into my count.
PapaloIs that supposed to be comforting or not.
NochiliWhen your hand shakes, laugh louder. That's how I get through it.
PapaloAre you seriously never afraid, brother?
MishuaThe number of times you dropped it doesn't sell. The days you didn't strike it at all, though, those sell.

Left elsewhere

Not a sound in the square. I couldn't bring myself to strike the drum.

If I picked a side, I couldn't strike the drum anymore.

What does that mean, High Priest?

I saw it too! Ah, no, I didn't. I didn't see anything.

Is there a name among those four that I'd know?

That's my drum, you know.
