[QUOTE="Seule, post: 440294, member: 407"] [b]Spoilers: Of Sound Mind 1[/b] Dear Dad, I’m coming home! We have solved Bellhold’s problem, and we could all use a bit of a vacation from watch duty I think. First things first, I guess I might have been wrong about Velea, she clearly exhibited some not-so-nice behaviour after I fell asleep last night. I guess she did fool some of us, and definitely caused some stress in our group. We all managed to agree with each other in the morning, I did apologize for my argumentative attitude of the night before. We climbed down the side of the mountain very slowly. We had to keep the psi-controlled child unconcious for the safety of all of us during the hard climb. Once on the ground, and returning to the village the voice started sounding a little desparate in its assurances of our imminent doom. Entering the village, the people rushed forward upon seeing the missing children, then things got weird. The dragon crystal took control of all the village people! Even the children we had just brought home! Luckily they were a very slow moving mass so we ran back towards the mountain until we were well away from any villagers. The dragon crystal seemed very confident now, so we took out the library crystal and I spent some time trying to find a clue as to the weaknesses of our enemy. The best I could find was that crystal in general can be damaged sonically. We rummaged through our trinkets from the mountain and found a crystal pennywhistle. Benton tried blowing on it but nothing happened to the crystal. I decided to give it a try, and we did manage to cause a little damage to the dragon. Seems you have to be a psion to cause damage with the whistle. Anyhow, it wasn’t enough to destroy it, but we all immediately thought back to the story Ving had told us about a man dying when he was inside the bell tower while the bell was rung. We decided that was our best course of action, but unfortunately there really wasn’t any way to hide our plans from the dragon crystal. We returned to the village to find all the people surrounding the bell tower. We devised a plan, Endrin and Noewyn would wait on a nearby rooftop holding the dragon crystal, with a view of the tower and the bell rope.
