-''DON'T LIE! YOU BEAR ARMS! THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT CURSED! WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! LEAVE THE GIRL AND TURN AWAY OR WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE OUR CHANCES!'' shouts back the leader defiantly.
[sblock=Pereception 15]That's a weird thing to say, but it occurs to observant PCs that none of the visible villagers bear arms or armor including the guards on the tower. Not even a dagger or a leather armor. The only visible weapons are the ballistas. If the man is to be believed, they also have catapults behind the wall. Still, they are ill equipped to face determined opposition rushing in close quarters. Those things are not great at hitting moving targets.
Characters with military experience have never heard of a force armed with ballistas (and catapults!) yet without at least bows/crossbows and spears to support it! After all, it's damn easier to build and move spears and bows than a ballista!
Small arms without artillery support, sure. Artillery without small arms, never!
