Azzar jumps at the sounds of ice cracking and shards shattering on the floor. 
She turns and notices for the first time the lizard man who had been encased in
the ice.  Her eyes narrow and she gets up to leave the table, "Excuse me for a
minute please."  She warily heads toward the pile of ice shards and the lizard
man.

She examines the body carefully, thinking that perhaps warming it up will bring
it back to consciousness.  Keeping an eye on the body at all times, she starts
to remove the lizard man's weapons, starting first with the silver trident and
the net.  As she does so, she calls to the innkeeper, "Good Sir, would you put
these in safekeeping for our *friend* here?" and hands him the weapons.  Those
at nearby tables, hear her low mutter, "Never met a lizard man I could
trust..."
