A loud crashing and rumbling reverberates from the town ahead.

The Fool arrives to find a church is being demolished.

The priest he met earlier in his journey is remonstrating with the workmen. Several members of the congregation are on their knees praying.

The Emperor has ordered the destruction of the church to make way for a small hospital. It will be the first time the town has had no church and the first time it has had a hospital.
