I have font memories of trying desperately to get Elum past those mines.
I liked the bell system in a way. It gave a great sense that there was more to the world than the industrial takeover. It didn't matter that the place was crawling with sligs, once that bell range the unseen native infrastructure made sure you got Elum.

By all means keep the bell. It looked eery and its hum summoned Elum. I just think a small moment of silence and a pat before you leave him behind would add to the depth of Abes character.
