Are they making some snap judgment about whether or not he looks like he could cast a spell and responding with the most extreme and psychotic response possible? Why would a bunch of mages be ready to annihilate someone at the drop of a hat for walking through the portal, does this happen a lot?
Parson is a giant man in full battle gear and a sword with no visible stats, and then he pretty much admits he doesn't really belong there. It is equivalent to a black man bursting in on a Klan meeting armed with a knife and saying "Where all the white woman at?". The Klansmen aren't going to just assume that since the door is guarded, that he must really belong there, that he must just be a white guy in blackface. Nor are they going to wait by for a security detail. They are going to pull their weapons on him.

Also, while have good reason to believe the door was protected against non-casters, it is probable that there are ways around the portal's magical protection that could allow non-casters to break through, possibly even by hiding your stats so that they would like Parson who lacks visible stats. In other words, just because the door is locked doesn't mean that nobody has a lock pick.

Also, there are no civilians in Erfworld. Everyone is created as a member of their lord's military, and spellcasters are naturally going to have their wands with them wherever they go, so they would be able to immediately react to Parson coming through the portal with overwhelming firepower.
