With a breath of relief Parum looked around as everyone shuffled about. There was a tension in the air unrelated to their enemy outside. Parum worried about her party's relationship with the castellan and by extension the forces of this castle. She understood that in a way it is the castle who are imposing on them, and there should be some respect given to the party of adventurers. But these are desperate times and during times like these little luxuries like formality and politeness tends to go. One of the reasons why Parum was a bit nervous getting into these sort of situations, but she must continue to be brave. But at the same time she must maintain some level of professionalism and confidence as well; if she starts raising her voice and insults the very people helping her, they would be a house divided. Kobolds and their allies would end up the least of their worries.

Everyone cleared out of the sallyport and went to rest up. Parum thought to do the same but her body was simply too tense. So much fighting, so much violence, and the very present danger of a dragon was looming literally over their heads. What would the party do now? Supposedly they were going to use the sallyport to get out or clear a way, but that path has been compromised. How long could they stay and defend this fortress? Parum didn't want to find out. As she wandered around Parum eventually gave up on trying to relax, and felt like she needed to do something. Anything.

And of course being a bard, there was only one thing Parum could do: Preform. Taking out viol and rapier, Parum went to found a quiet, somewhat isolated location. No where too far where she couldn't call for help if she was in danger, but out of the way so if anything happens she wouldn't interfere. Once she was sure she was in a good spot, Parum played a few notes on her viol, tuned it, and played a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrF814OnFQ4]song[/url]. She could imagine the accompaniment of other instruments as she played alone in this room, memories of her time at the bard college bringing a bit of levity in this dark hour.
