The Calling, part 3 is the third part of chapter IV in the plot of Return of the Obra Dinn. It reveals the fate of Second Mate's Steward Samuel Galligan.

Galligan asks recently speared seaman Patrick O'Hagan if he is still breathing and can row. While a mermaid is clawing passenger Bun-Lan Lim and another pulls seaman Aleksei Toporov overboard, Galligan notices Second Mate Edward Nichols cowering in his rowboat and calls him out on this. Passenger It-Beng Sia, one of the hostages, breaks free from his bonds and knifes Galligan in the neck.

When playing a new game, the pocketwatch starts shaking after viewing this diorama, taking the player directly to The Calling, part 2.

Things of interest

A mermaid reaches for more victims as passenger It-Beng Sia knives Second Mate's Steward Samuel Galligan.

• Second Mate Edward Nichols is addressed by his last name.
• The fate of seaman Aleksei Toporov can be deduced from this scene, as one of the mermaids is pulling him into the ocean to drown him. He can be identified by his unique pipe falling out of his mouth and his bag on the floor of the lifeboat right next to him, both of which were previously visible by his hammock (#47) in A Bitter Cold, part 1.
• The fate of passenger Bun-Lan Lim is clearer in this diorama than in her death scene – one of the mermaids is tearing her throat out with its claws.
• Galligan directly addresses seaman Patrick O'Hagan by name in this scene, allowing for his identification. O'Hagan perished in the memory immediately preceding this, but Galligan was not aware of his death, likely since the two were in separate boats.
