Curse of the Moonlight Bell ~ Demise of The Instrument

This evening, Cutty Wren and Reilinn arrived at Ayothaya's square. They informed the group that had arrived to watch the bell be destroyed that Ciar had run off with the fatal instrument. Again.

The group ran after the crazed professor, who claimed the bell was compelling him to protect it and he could no longer refuse. The pursuit lasted a few minutes, until Reilinn knocked Ciar down. She put her foot on his hand (breaking it in the process), and struck at the bell with a mysterious sword.

The bell shattered into pieces, which broke into smaller fragments, until they were scattered by the wind. Ciar woke up shortly after, with a bloody, broken hand. After his wounds were tended to, he thanked everyone present for subduing him.

The professor lost Reilinn before he could get a chance to talk to her. He decided to return to his mansion in Rachel, only to find out his zeny stash was gone, and Lord Matthew had been imprisoned for alleged turtle shennanigans. On top of that, he had to explain his recent blunders to Sir Melot.

Things were certainly not looking up for Ciar.
