Why would that make the game unwinable?  The stairs are accessible so why could I not just go down and retrieve the Bell?[[User:Ndwolfwood|Ndwolfwood]] 21:48, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

So I am below the necessary level for the quest. I decided to try to have my pet master mind flayer kill my leader. My pet will not attack either my leader or the one quest guardian that happen to by in the same room as the leader. I am playing a tourist. Is there a reason why?
