And there are corpses everywhere, coming after her faster than she can cut them down. Like a nightmare come to life, they're surrounding her, grabbing her--
And Beleth realizes that she's about to die, and her screaming stops abruptly, because that's not how Dalish are supposed to die. The knowledge isn't met with panic. She's going to die, leagues away from any of her clan, and only two thoughts occur to her: Merrick is going to blame himself (she hopes Cyril helps), and that none of these guys know how to bury a Dalish properly. Will Fate know? Does she have enough time to holler out instructions?
Before she has time to attempt to use her dying breaths to ask them to please not burn her like some goddamn shemlen, the corpses all rather unexpectedly explode.
Instead of rather dramatically dying, Beleth is indignantly sent tumbling, covered in bile and blood and worse, and she promptly starts gagging, struggling for breath that isn't full of rotten air, and thinking that dying would have been preferable--But then there's a thing heading at Anders, and Beleth doesn't even stop to think didn't you just finish almost dying, before she lunges at the mage, trying to tackle him to the ground.
