	In response to Branamin's silent alarm, Shawna enters the room. Zola says he is from Gateway and is here because the baroness has invited earth mages to consider employment in her barony, the main industries in which are mining and farming. Also, he is looking for an old acquaintance named Branamin, who is said to be in Sapphire.		In response to Branamin's silent alarm, Shawna enters the room. Zola says he is from Gateway and is here because the baroness has invited earth mages to consider employment in her barony, the main industries in which are mining and farming. Also, he is looking for an old acquaintance named Branamin, who is said to be in Sapphire.

	Branamin privately tells Yasser that Zola is looking for him, "and he's a real mage." Yasser replies, "He looks fragile." Branamin casts Sense Foes and Zola is definitely his foe.

	Bajeeter tells Ahn-Lee that someone in the house had cast a spell; Kalid was affected by it and no longer feels like stealing.

			Branamin confronts Zola, who says accusingly, "You killed a guildmaster in cold blood!" Branamin: "He was mind-controlling his students!"

	Yasser tells the baroness, "Your necklace may be magic." The baroness offers to buy his ring; he replies, "I can't remove it." As she raises her offer to 300g, Yasser says, "This was my night off. You don't want this to get ugly."		Yasser tells the baroness, "Your necklace may be magic." The baroness offers to buy his ring; he replies, "I can't remove it."

	Branamin ~~confronts Zola~~, ~~who says accusingly~~, ~~"You killed~~ a ~~guildmaster~~ in ~~cold blood~~!" Branamin: "~~He was~~ mind-~~controlling~~ his ~~students!"~~		Then things get ugly. Shawna, realizing that the necklace grants the baroness control over people's minds, Dazes the baroness and abruptly yanks the necklace, snapping its chain. Several people cry out. "Cover your eyes," Branamin warns, and casts Flash, temporarily blinding almost everyone. Ahn-Lee sees four people still moving toward the baroness, including a woman in a yellow gown who is flying near the ceiling.

			"Mine!" screams the baroness, hatred in her eyes as she tries to grab the necklace. Shawna simply puts her hand holding the necklace behind her back. Yasser grabs the baroness to restrain her. Branamin shouts "They're mind controlled!" and casts a realistic Illusion that the ceiling is on fire. The woman in yellow dives directly at Shawna, who simply turns so that the woman crashes into the floor, then Shawna continues her 'dance move' and kicks the woman under the chin. The black amulet Ahn-Lee had seen earlier flies into the room and spins in place over the baroness.

			The fight soon ends with the baroness subdued and her four loyal mind-servants in various states of injury. Shawna gives a report to a city guard captain with instructions that the baroness is to be investigated on various charges.

			Ahn-Lee turns up a small box containing several slivers of the strange metal. There is speculation that the baroness was bringing in earth mages to try to locate a source of the metal.

			After Branamin tells his story, Zola seems to accept that Branamin had some justification in killing the master mage fifty years ago and then going into hiding. (Zola was a fellow student.)

Shawna heads to the University and busies herself in the library doing research on the jasper figures. The cracked bell is described as a unique artifact discovered in some ruins within the Calventine Empire less than a hundred years ago. The writing upon it was indecipherable at the time, but it is not Venettian. It is described as having a "multi-worldly" and "ageless" feel. Its symbolism is unclear; one scholar speculates that the bell itself might represent "warning." Shawna finds references to other jasper artifacts found in the Troubled lands, including a yellow scarecrow, a sword, an eagle, a ladder, and a dark blue X standing upright on a base. She tells the librarian that she will pay up to four university students to do further research on the jasper artifacts and have their findings delivered to her within the week.

Mid-afternoon, Ahn-Lee leaves Yasser drinking at the Boar's Head and seeks out Kalid. "I got bored and decided to come on out." Kalid begins a training session in two-man work and also acting.
