Alfus was going towards the gnomes, staunch in his belief that telescope enhance your vision - but why, and how, he doesn't know. But certainly he must be somewhat right about this, as Lanta thought it was a good idea, and she seems to know her way around!

<the two streaks collide in the sky>

"oohhhh...."

<all Hell breaks loose>

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Alfus takes shelter behind the gnomes' wagon when the supply tent explodes in a popcorn cloud.

He then pokes out, and starts taking in the situation around him.

"Fire. Not the good one. We need water"

<a meteor splats a gnome, unfurls into a nightmare beast, and starts eating>

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Angry Bird of Sarenrae, come to my help!"

Alfus starts casting Summon Monster I for a red-colored celestial eagle, that he will send to deal with the beast while he helps as he can to get people (Lanta, the guard, the other gnomes) away:

"We have to get out of town!"



Spoiler: rolls for the eagle, when her turn to act comes up
