Outside, Captain Erlich whips around to face Deriel as he hears Guro's shouted assurance. "You damn elf!" he spits, "you would dare to go back on your word?" Deriel's eyes fill with fear as she raises up both hands in a feeble attempt to pacify the captain. "Of course not! I brought them here, didn't I?" The captain grows red as he shouts various profanities towards Deriel, who attempts to shout over him about her innocence to the perceived betrayal.

In the eastern building, Guro's swinging axe is met with much confused shouting which quickly turns to panicked screaming. One swing, two swings, and the unfortunate patrolman who was targeted by Guro is barely on his feet, but remains standing. The other two shout for the Captain as well, shouting, "CAPTAIN! An ambush! A halfling and a ..." The confused guardsman babbles over a few choice words in an attempt to describe that which he hasn't seen before. "A big turtle with an axe!" From outside, the shouting of Captain Erlich pauses for a moment, and he commands, "Pull yourself together guardsman! We shall prevail against these new foes!"

As if this had been their signal, four more patrolmen can be seen spilling out of the south-eastern building. Two of them have drawn their swords, and two of them are carrying their crossbows. As they pause for a moment to form a proper formation, the two with crossbows bring up small vials, whose contents they spill onto the loaded bolts they have at the ready.
