Being the random item nut that I am...
...call up your powers of invisibility (all 6) and several static charges from your Druid.
Here's how:
1. make most invisible except two (mage & druid)
2. pop into area and run back out
3. save
4. fire up static charges
5. go invisible (druid first then mage)
6. untrap area (east) with thief
7. go zap that Serrated freak (there is a sweet spot that gets him first)
8. odds are 1 in 4 to get the belt
Note: you may have to have a potion of invisibility or two handy if your mage (or bard) doesn't have enough slots. That is why a MC Gnome is important along with a bard -- perfect compliment.
This is my trick for most random items I want that are being carried by someone instead of inside a chest.
FYI: I put the belt on my Dwarf fighter. The druid is too busy as my offensive priest during battles.
My plan is to get the Dwarf looking like this [early Castle]:

This is just raw, without any help, now have a bard singing behind him and -- well you know.
