The basilisk woke just in time to feel Mareth's rapier pierce its skull, giving out a small whimper as it died.  Unfortunately, the sound, combined with the smell of fresh blood in the air, was enough to rouse one of the kobolds, which immediately screamed and slapped the other to wake him up, pointing at Mareth the entire time.  "Wake up!  Pointy-ear lady kill stone lizard!  Wake up!" he yelled as his partner woke up.
