As it had to turn out, Salga was involved. The draconian that the moon elves saw was also there. Salga held onto Sihauna in a relaxed position, "knowing" I wouldn't try anything. Then they went on a whole spiel about the amulet's power and how it forced you to serve it, blah blah blah. Salga then directed all of the amulet's energy toward the illusion of me. Even though it wasn't directed at where I really was, I felt it's power trying to grab me. Of course, elves' minds are too strong for such blind groping. Reaching out with a bit of my power, I shattered the amulet, then jumped in there and began fighting, quickly pushing Sihauna out of the way. I didn't need to do much though. When the amulet shattered, it apparently freed the draconian. (If he was acting, I still need to watch out for him.) He tackled Salga (and by the way, draconians are HEAVY), completely knocking the wind out of him. After a few more blows, I was able to convince the draconian to stop. Then I took Salga and Sihauna to my village; Sihauna as a rescued princess, and Salga as a prisoner.
But I sensed that Salga was being controlled still, even though the amulet was gone. Was there another amulet?
