The beautiful, and enchanting, music made Zebulon's skin crawl. Shaking off it's mesmerizing effects, he stood quickly and grabbed his staff. Glancing around, he couldn't see clearly if anyone else was awake or enchanted. He wasn't sure what he could do against a creature like this, but maybe he'd heard legends of fire birds, so he thought hard, trying to recall anything he could about them. In the meantime, he also remembered that the constable woman had asked to be woken if anything happened.

Moving cautiously, and trying not to take his eyes off the glowing fire-bird-woman, he crept over to where the constable slept. Kneeling, he put a hand on her shoulder and gently tried to shake her awake. "Constable," he whispered pointedly. "Constable, wake up." The lizard woman was sleeping near by, so he crept over to her also, though he did not try to shake her awake. "Lizard-friend, wake up. We've got company," he whispered.

He peered around in the dark, trying to make out the spot in the net which was disturbed. He had left his lantern over by the tree with his other stuff, and it was difficult to see. If possible, he wanted to be position himself near that spot...to do what exactly, he wasn't sure. Could you knock out a magical fire bird by hitting it on the head? It seemed like a long shot, but it was all he could think to do. Besides, his second alarm spell had worked beautifully and would raise Sarthen herself as soon as the creature crossed the boundary. It would certainly raise the whole farm, anyway, and then he'd have help.
