Morndath had to say she had not been quite expecting the sheer flood of words to leave the mouth of the old man, the waves of the verbal ruse crashing over her and trying to turn her mind over to their side like a ship in a storm. She was taken aback by all the devotion the man showed for the Queen of Dragons, but she could not just take everything at face value. Things were not really adding up here, were they? No, she would need to go over what she knew... but not before she had shown how one did not try to speak back to a wearer of purple. She extended her left arm and waved it downwards with all her fingers kept together. The guards behind everyone took a step forward, but those behind Torus also grabbed his shoulders and rather forcefully guided him to his knees.

"Your words of devotion are impressive Torag, but one does not question their superiors in our army. I do not know how Parum has handled you, but that is a thing you certainly should learn to live with", she retorted about the old man's words against her judgement on Orchid's tight-lippedness. In what had been told to her by the guard captain, the situation had been directly the opposite between the half-orc and his supposed mount. Torag had not spoken much, but Orchid, he was one Parum had to keep under control. Of course, that was very little to go from yet... but a conflict in the interests of the group also worried her.

It seemed quite clearly that Parum was here for gold. The half-orc followed her for power. Very ordinary for a group of mercenaries. But then there was this... druid, she assumed, who would praise the glory of the Queen of Dragons like his life depended on it. Hell, perhaps it did. She turned to look at Kyra, who responded by immediately speaking out of turn: "If you are to ask about my motivations, they are simple. I am to ease the suffering of my companions. No more, no less." The same gesture followed and the pink haired priestess was sent to her knees, but Morndath appeared surprisingly satisfied by her answer.

"As expected of a Cleric of something as pathetic as Chauntea", she stated with her eyes resting on the holy symbol of the cleric. Morndath then turned to Parum with a lopsided smile on her face. "So, you say you seek to join us, but to me it appears like your friend here had already made the decision to serve the Queen of Dragons herself, praise Tiamat's glory, well before you even walked in here. Tell me, just where do you think he got his idea?"
