From the introduction:
“After a few minutes of nervously sitting in an ante-room you are ushered into the audience chamber to meet the Patrician. He is sitting on a modest wooden chair below the golden throne of Ankh-Morpork and he smiles thinly as you enter. “Ah, the pyramid experts, some watchmen and assorted wizards. Excellent.” He puts down the papers he was reading and looks up again. “As you all know time has not been exactly, ah, stable here in the recent past. We have some reason to believe that these disturbances are pyramid related, but they may not be, so I decided to ask you all here today. Of course I would not for one moment issue orders to the representatives of foreign powers but I hope that, in the interests of good relations, you can assist us in some way. Equally it is well known that the temporal powers of this city do not have full authority over the arcane among us, but I would be very grateful if you could assist us in this matter.” The Patrician smiles again and takes a small sip from a glass of water. “The watchmen will guide and protect you on your journeys around the city. I do hope you find what we are all looking for, soon….” The last word is left hanging in the air, leaving very little doubt as to the possible consequences of finding it later. The door to the audience chamber is opened again and you are all ushered out. You hurry from the palace as suddenly you all remember how to breathe.”
