From above, the canopy of trees blocks some of Balthazar's view, but he can see enough. There are more of the bears on the way, circling around to pen Brigid in a wide circle, cutting off advancement and retreat. They're surrounded. Swearing in Enochian he adds 'Collect intel on number of robot bears in woods' to the ever-growing list of things that should have been done before this escape attempt.

And then he hears the yelp from below. Scanning the heaving metallic shapes, he doesn't spy her until she jumps and lands hard, but then the blaze of her hair is a beacon. He drops, materializing directly on the back of the bear attacking her, and, expressionless, drives his blade into the robot's back. It sparks and shudders, but the claws tear free.
