"Foghorn," she said quietly, "Can you check my helmet is straight at the back, please?""Sure, is it helming-up time already? Yup, you're fine." was the response. "How's my plume?""Very dandy. Now, I want you you to keep your helmet on. Don't take it off for anyone, especially me. Do you understand? It's very important.""Okay. Is the ceiling going to fall in, or something?""Something like that."At this point, Moss interjected. "You know metal armour makes us druids uncomfortable. Do you two really have to dress up like that? And no, Foghorn, the ceiling is not going to fall in. I'm taking my helmet off. I'm taking my helmet off. You look ridiculous.""I think he looks quite good in a helmet," replied Sister Jericho evenly. "More professional. And as for me, well, my order has strict rules about when we have to wear our headgear."She's on to me thought Moss, She knows about me and she knows metal helmets block my psychodruidic powers. How did she guess? I've been so careful. No matter, I still have the other two, I can still set them all against each other.Blissfully unaware of the significance of all this, Keyes and Ronni were Identifying their newly-acquired Rings. Hers is better than mine. Hers is better than mine transmitted Moss. "Maybe we could sell them in Ye Secret Magick Shoppe, on this map?" suggested Keyes. "Sell them both, and go fifty-fifty on the proceeds?" Ronni thought for a split second and agreed. They both thought they were getting the better of the deal. Then the notion that those other two are going to try to steal them somehow occurred to them.That's why they are putting on their helmets. They're getting ready to attack us.Ronni and Keyes were getting quite paranoid now, driven unwittingly by the Mystic's relentless telepathic onslaught. Give the rings to the druid for safe keeping was the next suggestion and it seemed good, so they did that. Then, if they attack the druid to steal the rings, we must defend the druid seemed credible too. Hoods were raised, belts tightened and daggers were loosened in their sheaths.Sister Jericho could see that the situation was getting dangerous. She must expose the Mystic's machinations quickly but so few of her spells were useful in this situation and it was not going to be easy to get the others to work with her.
