Parum had no objection investigating the fire. As long as they were careful and planned, she'd help as much as she could. She followed everyone the three mile trek to the campfire as best as she could, though she had a bit of trouble keeping up with their long strides through the forest. Eventually she caught up, and Parum carefully observed the scene. Four humans, eight kobolds, and all seemed oblivious to their surroundings. Of course they’d be outnumbered. Even if most of their foes were kobolds, they were confident in numbers. Parum debated trying to convince the others to take one prisoner for questioning, though she doubts they'd be any more informative than the prisoner they had captured at the fort. Then again if these were cultist who were left behind for a reason, maybe they could find out why.

Torus stated that while the enemy had numbers, they had skill, but also a small window of opportunity to exploit it. Parum couldn’t agree more. [color=7ea7d8]”Show them power, Torus.”[/color] Parum’s words would fill Torus with a warm, hopeful feeling. She wanted to make sure that Torus would have the confidence to take them on. And perhaps just a little, Parum wanted to feel confident too. She still kept having flashbacks of that dragon and how the entire battle at Greenest seemed bleak and miserable. She had tried her best to forget about it, but like a scar she could never truly heal from it. But what she could do is remember, and learn from it.

Soon the other menfolk moved in as Torus transformed into a bear. Not only would this form allow Torus to seemingly be able to fool the cultists that he was a mere wild animal, it would also help Torus fight them once Brannor and Orchid attacked. Thus, Parum’s biggest concern was for Torus himself. She’d have to rely on Kyra and the others to pick off any kobolds who might try to sling arrows and stone at the bear. The halfling would use her spells to target anyone who’d try and attack Torus directly. Parum moved closer, taking advantage of her small size and light feet to not disturb any of the stones as she got within sixty feet of the enemies. It was a bit of a stretch, but this way she could at least target her spells at the four humanoids. Carefully taking out her viol and rapier, Parum waited patiently to cast her spell once hostilities begin.
