After everyone had left, Parum just sorta wandered her own way. She needed time to think about what exactly she was getting herself into. At first, she only joined the caravan for mutual protection. But who would to think that instead of being attacked by bandits or wild animals, she would arrive to a besieged fortress, lead by a dragon! After getting over her initial fear, she had to admit she was very excited. She never thought she'd even see a dragon in the sky, yet there was one today. If they weren't trying to kill them, she would have so many questions for them. Where did it come from, what did it eat, how does it think about this culot that formed around it, and so much more.

But alas, Parum knew that this dragon likely wouldn't want to speak to her and would rather eat her. Her and everyone here in fact. Though it did make Parum wonder why it was attacking here. Well, aside from obvious reasons, like loot and plunder. But surely the dragon has seen Greenest's keep and would have known that it's people would retreat there. Why not attack caravans on the road like the one Parum traveled, or perhaps a village without a fortress nearby? So many questions yet no answers. And before Parum could really suss out why the castellan, a redhaired dwarf, arrived with urgent news: They were under attack!

The attack was at the sally port, which Parum knew was a sort of secure entry way meant for the fortress's defenders to have a reliable way out, without giving the enemy a way in. Of course the enemy would have had plenty of time to find the sally port and wait for their chance to charge, and that moment was now. If they've already gotten through the sally port then more may follow. Taking out her viol Parum steeled her resolve. [color=7ea7d8]"Then we have no time to lose. Let's go!"[/color] Having explored the fortress a short while before, Parum knew where the sally port was and went over there herself.
