Four point scale

The final battle; the brass-stringed harp. We know that this chair was
designed to spin rapidly - look, here are the remains of the treadmill
that drove it. But the records don't explain whether it was used for
recreation, torture, or both.
3.7/4.0 GREEN
The price of admission; the leather gloves. Where Her tears land, the
stones are bleached to quartz with veins of pure silver. Gather them
carefully.
3.6/4.0 VIOLET
The final hymn before the feast; boxes and baskets woven from
reeds. Carry a hot stone in these tongs. If you need water, you can use
it to melt through the ice.
3.0/4.0 RED
The sins of the father; the carbon steel wicket. Sometimes if you listen
very carefully you can hear them call below the noon whistles, but only
once in a long time will you understand the words.
2.0/4.0 INDIGO
Youthful gaiety; the heavy wool trousers. Do not place one foot out of
line, for the drop is great and the rocks sharp below; I cannot stop the
ocean.
1.0/4.0 ORANGE
That which occurs in the secret dens; three horseshoes of differing
metals. Hurry along the street, speaking to no-one. You are surely lost
if they discover your name.
