Barrow-Downs Birthday Party at the Fields of Cormallen

[Belin]

"AAGGGGHHH!!!!" screams Belin, as Birdie charges toward her. She holds up the REG to fend off the attack, but the faithless device vanishes in a puff of smoke, sending her sprawling. "Help!" she cries, sticking up her feet instinctively, since she has to have something to ward off the chair, but Celaewen and Rosseiliantiel pay no attention, lost in the frenzy they're aiming at Veritas. Belin is sure that they and Birdie have taken on a similar, terrifying expression, but she can't say for sure since she can't see anything but the legs of the chair. Spending time with half-crazed questing-elves is beginning to seem less and less like a good idea. She looks for a way to escape, but she's caught between the chair and the spinning vortex, neither of which is terribly comforting to her at the moment.

And here comes the chair, but fortunately for Belin, Birdland's fury is interfering with her aim, and she misses. Belin thinks frantically, but "I'm getting the worst of this..." is all that comes to mind. "I have to talk to her! Maybe she'll understand if I--" races through Belin's mind, but the only vocalization that accompanies it is, once again, "AGGGGHHHH!!!"

And then, suddenly and without thinking of it at all, she blurts out a sentence that she's sure to regret:

"I found out how it works!"
