Taking hold of the bellrope, Seraphina tolls the bell again. This close to, the sound is physically painful, not just to her ears but to her entire body, feeling almost like the blow from a fist. She staggers, but keeps hold of the rope.
The crystal seems to have faired worse, however. The cracks on it's surface are deeper than you've seen them before, and take much longer to start healing over. The crystal glows brightly again, and this time Seraphina feels a mental blow strike her mind, enough to make her release her grip on the rope.
Jason hurls the hammer across the room as the blacksmith slowly starts to recover from his strike. Gholog takes note of this, and lands a heavy punch to the man's jaw. He staggers back drunkenly, before returning the favour to the half-orc, hitting him hard in the stomach.
(Seraphina takes 2 points of subdual damage from the bell, and has been dazed by the crystal[/i]. Gholog dealt another 5 points of subdual damage to the blacksmith, and took 4.)

Kerrick slowly forces his way through the mass to townsfolk around the Wyrmcall's tower, mimicking their fixed blank stare. Now he's no longer part of the group with the crystal, he's being ignored by the townspeople around him.
With one final shove, he forces himself into the tower doorway, only to find in blocked by the back of an exceptionally burly man in a blacksmith's leather apron. Around this mountainous man, he can see Gholog and Jason...
**********
Jason forsakes accuracy in favour of speed, an approach that seems to pay off. He catches the blacksmith on the temple with one of his many swings, sending the man toppling back towards the crowd trying to push their way into the belltower. Unfortunately, Jason also steps forwards just in time for the smith's leg to knock his own from under him, sprawling him on the floor beside the now unconscious man. Looking up from the ground, he sees Derrick standing in the doorway, his eyes oddly unfocused...
Gholog grabs Jason by the back of his tunic, pulling him back up to his feet. The crowd outside pushes as one, forcing Kerrick into the tower and towards his companions.
Seraphina shakes off the mind-clouding effect manifested by the crystal. Looking around, she sees everything is as it was, with the crystal slowly healing the still-deep cracks on its surface.
(Jason rolls a 16 and a... 1 on his flurry of blows, hence the embarrassing fall. Still, he deal 5 more points of subdual damage to the smith, enough to knock him out and take him out of the fight.
On another note, Kerrick's back! He can start making actions from the beginning of next round, and comes after Jason and Gholog, but before Seraphina in the initiative count.)

"Damn it..." Seraphina curses. Ripping off two small pieces off of her tunic, she stuffs them in her ears, then begins tugging on the rope once again.

Gholog
During the brief respite, Gholog glances to see if there are any stairs or ladders leading up into the belltower. If there are none, he will pick his glaive from the floor and jump, slicing the rope as high as possible to prevent anyone else climbing to where the stone is.
Otherwise, he will continue using his bare hands and feet to stop the advance of the crowd.

(OoC: Hmm, looking back on it, the map I posted earlier isn't as clear as it could have been... The bordered area running around the inside of the tower is the narrow stairway leading up the floor above. The bottom of the stairs is to the left of the door into the tower.Zhure said:
Update coming once Sir Osis has posted.)
