Even before Natacia reached the chamber they escaped from, she could hear the wailing cries of the bird woman, obviously having reverted back to its cruel persona and cursing the gods for having its latest preys slip from her grasp.  Creeping by the entryway the slayer confirms what she has heard and indeed the foul creature was raving near where she last saw her.  The thing seems to have not notice Natacia yet and the only way to get to her belongs was to get as close as possible near the bawling creature without it noticing her.  A long shot but her options are limited at the moment. She could try going for the stuff of the carcasses - its past victims - not far from the bird woman; perhaps there might be a weapon there she can pick up and use?
