I dislike how guards can't actually do anything before the ambush is sprung (why post guards?).
If I am on guard and I spot something, be it a noise in the distance or seeing a threat (although being Human with a Campfire/Light Cantrip it would only be within 40ft), I raise the alarm to wake people up. While this does not provide the group with time to prepare, it does prevent the attackers from getting a Surprise round against "Unconscious" targets (which is devastating).
