#### Duty

* **[**0**]** Duty
* **[**1**]** The Dismal Paleographer is shaking, but he approaches the skeleton of the Tamer. \"Please think of me, should I not survive. Think of me as brave.\" He smiles. \"Burn my monograms too.\" And then a wind is upon him. It howls as it forces its way into the empty places in his skull.

#### End

* **[**0**]** End
* **[**1**]** The Paleographer returns to your locomotive in silence, and does not speak for the remainder of the journey back, except to sigh. He will return to the Summerset camp to gather his things and all that remains of his career.

She will return to the Summerset camp to begin preparations to mount an expedition to recover the seals. It does not seem likely to succeed, but nor does it seem the opportune time to point that out.
* **[**3**]** The Theologian burst into laughter and embraces you. \"Well, I supposes that's freed us all. Wait till I tell the others what you did!\" He returns to your locomotive in high spirits, eager to return to the Summerset camp, and later, back to London, where he intends to publish a popular novel about all of this.
