Thanks so much, FatGuy-Arch! That's an awesome reply; I never expected such a complete answer -- you've saved me, I'm sure! (I wouldn't mind having a bit less guessing and trial and error in this game, but that's only my taste); thanks again!
You did great! Yes, Bell was in jail for whatever unknown reason: everything working out just as you said so far except for bottling the fairy dust: in the screen North of Camilla, in the purple square that i can investigate using 3+ sensing ability, I cannot bottle the fairy dust (I had 78 empty bottles at the time), so not sure what I'm doing wrong...?
