It's getting dark, but Flicker eventually finds its target. Aernoud sees the tiny figure circling over .. the fireworks tent? And what could well be Ruud slipping inside.

			''"Oh, this can't be good," mutters Aernoud to himself as he hurries after Flicker to the tent. "Where is everyone else? How am I going to stop them? This is crazy! They're crazy! How am I going to stop these thugs from sneaking around - from - waitaminute, THEY'RE the ones who have to hide here! I don't have to stop them, I just have to expose them!" Aernoud calls Flicker back to his shoulder as he gets to the tent entrance, flinging open the doorflap. He stands in the entrance, looking for Ruud but staying where other guests can see him.''

If someone simply took an axe to it, how long would it take to disable/destroy? Is it made of wood?''

			''Antheunis darts an eye at the wagon, where Lazer is talking to Griet. Frantically, he gives him the universal, "Keep her distracted while I finish this off!" hand signal, then jumps into the fountain. He pushes the fountain back upright as if trying to right it, but actually twists it as he does so, to try to continue to break it off at the base.

			[The fountain, to give a little context here, looks somewhat like [[http://www.emmitsburg.net/archive_list/articles/history/fountain_photos/fountain_catalog.jpg this picture]], but the central spire of the fountain is this bronze corkscrewing bit mounted on a tiered stone platform, roughly as tall as a person (only higher because it's on a platform). You could theoretically destroy it but since it's metal it'd take a bit of doing -- on the other hand, bending or banging it up pretty good it doesn't seem out of the question.]

			[Anyway, let me know if you want to do something else given that, but assuming you're still trying to use the water to destroy it:]
