The Bard led the group on an approach towards the area where quite a few prisoners were being used to look after the pack animals of the cult's small army. While there were less people around these parts and almost no kobolds, the few that stayed around seemed quite vigilant. Of course the prisoners were only looking out for the guards so they would not get attacked or something, but the glint in the eyes of the well armed cult members showed that the approach of the troupe had not gone unnoticed. One of the guards straightened her back and raised her spear's end from the soil. "A new catch, hm? Had not expected those to be coming in any longer, but we can look into it for certain. Hold him there for a hot second and we'll get the chains", she promised, nodding towards an evidently lower ranking man nearby who dashed off. Unfortunately as well as this seemed to be going, the Druid's magic would run out at a very inopportune moment. As the bear suddenly disappeared, and Orchid fell downwards, the guard raised her eyebrow. "Hm? What was that?" she asked, looking awfully suspicious. It would be for the best to figure out a solid explanation in a real hurry, before she called more attention to it. Luckily she had not seen the whole ordeal, only the fact that the Half-Orc had suddenly tumbled downwards and that an old man showed his face soon after. Yet her both hands were now on the handle of her spear. She was ready. [hider=Mechanics&Rolls] The interaction between Parum, Brannor and the apparent guard captain has been interrupted by the unscheduled Wild Shape reversion of Torus. As is rather obvious, an open fight would not turn out well in this camp, not with the numbers being so heavily skewed for the cult's favour. [@Irredeemable] should aim to get a post in as soon as possible. Maybe they could even help with this mess, no? Because if I am to take the current display of activity for the norm, it could be better. Really. [/hider] [@The Harbinger of Ferocity][@Gordian Nought][@Lucius Cypher][@Ryonara][@Irredeemable]
