With the fall of the last Kobold, Parum fell to her knees. [color=7bcdc8]"That was exhilarating..."[/color] However looking towards everyone else, they seemed largely unaffected by the fight. Well, aside from Orchid, who looked worse for wear, but as soon as he stood up he looked like he was back in good health. He asked about skinning the kobolds, and for the sake of the children Parum spoke up. [color=7bcdc8]"Ah... No. Don't do that Orchid. We have to help the village first. Maybe after we're done you can... Do your thing. Oh! But tie up that one of there."[/color] Parum pointed towards the kobold she thinks she knocked out with her spell. With any luck that one was merely unconscious and not dead. [color=7bcdc8]"We'll need to question him."[/color]

The family from before spoke their their concerns about the rest of their family, which got Parum on her feet and smiled at them. [color=7bcdc8]"Don't worry! I can't speak for the others, but I'll help you find them."[/color] The family, the mother named Linan and the father Cuth, spoke about a keep. And sure enough the dragon flew through some obscuring smoke and revealed the keep in the distance. Considering that it wasn't on fire or smoking, Parum was almost certain that it was still holding even against the dragon's assault. This was good; a keep was a good place to stay safe for the night. With any luck it may even have it's own soldiers and guards to fight the dragon. Not that Parum didn't want to, but more help was better. Trear turned to Parum and the other adventurers and asked if they were going to go against the caravan master's orders to save the village. Parum just smiled at her, slightly unaware of her taunt, recognizing it more as a call to challenge. 

[color=7bcdc8]"I'm more than glad to lend a hand! The keep sounds like the safest place to be at right now. Heck, once we finish guiding the survivors back to the keep, we should tell the Caravan Master too. While I don't doubt his strength, a circle of wagons is no bastion."[/color]
