Field notes
The combat description gives enemies four-beat patterns, with the interval between beats as Konrad’s attack window; his rat whistle can briefly reverse the rhythm. The setting is divided into five named districts linked by sewers, and the page describes sixteen bosses between the city wall and the mountain. Its character entries include a woman who appears nine but is said to be 39, and a silent bell-maker who climbs the tower when the song returns.
