With their prisoner captured Parum hoped that they could leave this wretched place as soon as possible. She kept her guard up considering the danger simply being outside was, but she was happy to know that they aren’t going to run into any more trouble. Of course, considering her luck, Parum spoke too soon. The party ran into a small band of scouts near the tunnel entrance; whether they knew the way in or not, Parum knew that had to deal with these brigands quickly. And quickly they did; Brannor and Kyra eliminated two of the three brigands with their first attack. Torag lowered the prisoner he was carrying to attack the brigand, leaving only Parum and Orchid behind. She figured that the orc would soon engage in battle, so Parum looked towards him.[color=7ea7d8] “I’ll stay behind in case more show up, get going!”[/color] And so Parum readied another spell of Vicious Mockery, thinking of quips in her head as she kept an eye peeled for more enemies to come. She also stayed near the body in case anyone intended to come by and grab her, or if she was awake enough to run off on her own. [hider=Actions] Karyn readies Vicious Mockery on any opponent who may show up or get near Parum and the prisoner. Just in case, she'll also be ready I. Case the prisoner is awake and tries to escape.
