"Godric stop! If they think we are a danger, that will make it worse. Let us approach peacefully."
If those bells were about us, I would think the south and west towers would be ringing seeing as we are traveling north/northeast. And it's not like we are such a huge group that we should look intimidating....except, everyone seems to think Godric is some kind of daemon. Still, if we want to stop Godric, Uther, can't you just end the spell that we are all riding on? It's hard t look intimidating when your horse disappears and you are sliding face first through the dirt.
