Success

The music of the drowned

[…] Their song calls glim […] almost the one […] the Eccentric Opera Singer sing to her baby […] If the song calls glim, who was that baby's father?

Their next song […] brings darkness and silence[…]

[…]The Fading Music-Hall Singer is awake![…]

Description summary:
The Drownies sing and glim falls from the ceiling. The song is very similar to the one you heard the Opera Singer sing to her baby. They also sing a song about depths, darkness and silence. You think you might be able to repeat it yourself. You receive a note that the Fading Music-Hall Singer is awake and waits for you in Veilgarden.

Failure

Someone has done this before

The Drownies have mounted a guard at the base of the crane. They are alert for all their lack of eyes. They speak hungrily of grabbing passersby and dragging them down beneath the cold waters forever. Time for a warm fire […] away from the water.
