{{Variant table
|Condition = Question before the Board |Condition alias = Question|Compact = yes
<noinclude>|Condition type = Raw</noinclude>
|Effect = [[Persuade the Drummer/Tables|Success Description]]
|Value 10 - 14, 16 - 17, 20 - 24, 26 - 27, 29 - 31, 35, 37 = A low rumble like thunder over a plain. It appears the Drummer is indifferent to the fates of its fellow boardmembers.
|Value 15 = A steady drumbeat goes up like a funeral march. Virginia's expression is ashen, as though she recognises the tune.
|Value 18 - 19 = A steady cascade of a drumbeat rolls on, rising in intensity to a pitch and pace like cannonfire. It seems the Drummer enjoys the humiliation of its colleagues in the cloth.
|Value 28 = Silence. Nothin– BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG. The table rattles and shakes as violently as if it were on one of your engines. It would appear that the Drummer is very keen to see the back of the Hell-Scarred Gondolier.
|Value 32 = There is silence for a moment until someone goes to speak, then a long heavy series of beats, like a funeral march. This continues for a full hour. It would seem the Drummer wishes the Reverend's departure to be carried out with appropriate ceremony.
|Value 182, 230, 320, 932 = The only answer is a single, low penetrating vibration that makes the teeth rattle in the skull. This is 'yes', or the only approximation you're going to receive.
|Value 400 = The drum-beat this time sounds suspiciously like the jangling of a cash-box.
|Value 520 = Is it possible for a drum-beat to sound like laughter? For the rat-tat to resemble a mocking invitation?
|Value 521 = A lively percussive rhythm sounds from the Drummer's empty seat. It is the anthem of Arbor, where once Feducci resided. As it ends, Feducci applauds, before lapsing into a contemplative silence.
|Value 522 = A single heavy thud like the fall of a bomb, unexploded. The Drummer does not object.
|Value 523 = A drumbeat sounds like a victory anthem as Virginia raises her glass. Is the Drummer offering her a toast? She frowns, evidently unsettled, hand reaching for her derringer just as the sound stops.
|Value 525 = A bang like a cannon of roses fired at the heart of London's armies. The Bishop starts, but the Drummer has given its approval.
|Value 526 = A victory anthem begins: beat by solemn beat. It is an ancient piece, played sometimes in the Brass Embassy when brandy has been flowing and days best forgotten are remembered. It was once the traditional music for the entrance of princes into Hell.
|Value 528 = A silence from the Drummer. It seems the matter of Cornelius' ancient animals concerns the Drummer not a whit. Cornelius lets out a long breath of relief.
|Value 529 = A hollow beat begins like the dream of a heart. The Viscountess sways in time with the atonal rhythm: a remembrance of a place in Parabola where once she walked.
|Value 700 = A harsh staccato beat sounds like a gunshot. Is it a yes? Half of your board clutch their chests in shock.
|Value 710 = A bang sounds like a grenade going off. It would seem that the Drummer is very happy to leave Balmoral in September's hands.
|Value 720, 905 = Silence. It is not assent, but nor is it dissent. It seems on this the Drummer cannot or does not care to have an opinion.
|Value 940 - 941, 1000, 1020 - 1030 = A light tap sounds, like might be made from bone hitting bone. The Drummer relents. This time.
|Value 1100 - 1110 = A long roll of the drums like thunder. The Drummer has unfinished business with the kingdom behind the glass.

{{Variant table
|Condition = Question before the Board |Condition alias = Question|Compact = yes

|Effect = [[Persuade the Drummer/Tables|Failure Description]]
|Value 10 - 14, 16 - 18, 20 - 22, 24, 29 - 31 = A deathly silence from the Drummer. It would appear the standing of its colleagues means little to a Prince of Hell entombed in Parabolan glass.
|Value 15 = A silence. Has the Drummer nothing to say on the matter of its infernal colleague? Then a long drumroll begins like thunder. Is the Drummer committing to a view? Or is it relishing the humiliation of a hero of the Season of revolutions?
|Value 19 = The sound of cannon. The scream of horses. The smell of roses that drifts along the table like perfume. Is the Drummer defending the Bishop of Southwark?
|Value 23, 28 = The smell of burning roses pervades the boardroom, accompanied by the sound of a single drumbeat, heavy as the adumbration of a heart. The Drummer, it seems, has strong feelings on the matter of the Gondolier.
|Value 32 = A great bang goes off like a firework or a military cannon. The sound shakes the table and breaks several glasses sat before the Board. It would appear the Drummer does not care for the removal of the Delightful Reverend.
|Value 230, 320 = The reply comes as a rat-a-tat like an infantry's marching band, a furious refusal packaged in a threat.
|Value 400 = Deep, discouraging thuds. It is unclear whether the Drummer objects to this particular dividend, or to the concept of human profit entirely. But it is not on your side.
|Value 521 = A strange and sinuous series of rolling drumbeats sounds from the Drummer's empty seat. Feducci sits bolt upright, as though he recognises the tune. His feet beat of their own accord, twitching […] After a while, the Drummer ceases to play.
|Value 522 = A lengthy series of bangs and booms goes up, […] timed to mimic the effect of an incautious personage blundering across the munition-littered battlefields of Hell. April […] scrawls a new design for a bomb, to be concealed within the skin of a drum.
|Value 523 = A sound that sounds like the tearing of silks, the breaking of wines and the dancing of many massive legs on many tiny bottles of perfume. Virginia clenches her jaw.
|Value 525 = A sound that sounds distinctively like a church bell falling from a high place and shattering into a thousand tiny pieces, before something large and eight-legged dances upon the shards. The Bishop of Southwark pales.
|Value 526 = A great drum beat echoes around the room, drowning out His Amused Lordship's words. His Amused Lordship makes a face, displeased to have encountered something louder than he.
|Value 527 = A great rolling boom such as might be made by a small boat being splintered into a dozen pieces. The Wandering Gondolier gulps.
|Value 529 = The mocking hiss and rattle of maracas, pitched to sound almost like the triumph of snakes. The Viscountess bares her claws.
|Value 700 - 720 = A long series of drumbeats goes out that rattle your teeth […] As violent flashes roll through your head like lightning, your bleeding ears wonder if the Drummer is performing some malevolent parody of God Save the Queen. That can't be right? Can it?
|Value 905 = A long series of drumbeats goes out that rattle your teeth […] As violent flashes roll through your head like lightning, your bleeding ears wonder if the Drummer is performing some malevolent parody of a wedding march. That can't be right? Can it?
|Value 940 - 941 = A single bell sounds from somewhere that feels like the base of your spine, sounding through your bones and rattling your teeth like coins in a jar. It would seem that the Drummer does not care for charity.
|Value 1100 - 1110 = A single bell tolls, funeral and distant. The Drummer has no wish to engage with Parabola if it can avoid it. It is not, of course, afraid. Merely prudent.
