There was no question who would be slain during the night. A Downer inhabited by one of the evil spirits awakened from sleep and crept to where Brinniel lay sprawled upon the floor. The fiend snapped the leg from a chair and grabbed Brin by the hair and pulled her to her feet. Just as the killer raised the chair leg to strike, Brin's eyes snapped open.
"No!" she screamed. "Don't! You don't know-"
But the servant of evil laughed and brought the heavy piece of wood whistling down upon Brin's head. Again and again blows smote her, and at last her attacker released her and she crashed to the floor, dead. But even as the villain stood over her smiling in triumph, a red glowing orb rose from Brinniel's breast and hovered in front of the evil one's eyes, and a voice spoke out of it.
"I came to give you aid- to help you achieve victory. Now you are on your own." The orb vanished with a burst of fire, and a large spark fell upon Brinniel's forehead. When it went out, the name "Grima" was left burned across her brow. Before the killer could express disappointment or rage, unconsciousness fell.
Not long after, the dawn came, and the Downers rose and looked upon Brinniel. Seven were filled with hope, and three with frustration.
