While out trying to fight back the rain and wind to protect the bonfire, Quentin hears something ominous. Off in the distance, distorted through the whipping wind and rain, floats a jaunty tune.

Being that Quentin is well-versed in the ways of Beacon, he immediately does an about-face and sprints back through the shallow floodwaters before the jolly musicians can see him, or before he can become compelled to join them. He flees at top speed, trips and tumbles, and makes it back to safety with a sprained ankle but with his life - and skin - intact.
