Ru and Fr. Berman had stepped outside with Ada and the enforcer to wait for the carriage. Ru stood guard while Fr. Berman discussed faith in the hopes for more information. Perrin had picked up trouble and let out a signal. Hieran stepped out to start casting--it was a longer spell, and he took a moment to rise above the doorway.
Fr. Berman takes notice and shepherds a bewildered Ada back to the building while Torhan comes out to stand with them. Ru and the enforcer instinctively stand together across the entrance to the Central Barracks, a large wrought-iron gate with the black and red chevron of Paridon. Ru sees the two men approach, and scowls in distaste. The first man is older, beefy, and has the rugged ease of one used to getting dirty. His partner, on the other hand, is very young and green. Although he is a full six feet tall, he only comes to his mentor's shoulder, and nervously holds his shortsword, carefully staring at Ru's arrow tip.
The older one speaks. "Ru! Hey, funny meeting you here! How are you?"
"Stay back, Lug. You're not welcome here," Ru resopnds.
"Yeah, but you are, I suppose," Lug taunts. "Don't you worry, though. We're here to take care of the gnome. An interested third party hired us to make sure she gets back in one piece. So you got no reason to worry. Hey, toots, you're safer with us, anyway. This guy? He ain't exactly known for follow-through."
Hieran's last syllable is finished, and ground appears to rip open, with black soil billowing out of the fissure. Emerging from the displaced cobblestones is a large--and angry--badger.

Sorry I don't have a map ready quite yet, but I have to keep this moving right now!
Darian, Perrin, and Spirit are at the doorway. Hieran is above the doorway.
Torhan has come out to meet Fr. Berman and Ada, who are moving away from the scene, back toward inside, about 15' away.
Ru and the enforcer are standing together, making the front line of the group, standing abreast at the 10' opening of the gate. The gate is about 10' across, and is 20' from the front doors. Lug and his buddy are 10' beyond the gate, and the badger has just appeared between the enforcer and Lug's buddy.
The fog gives anyone 15' away partial concealment, and anyone 35' or more away full concealment.
Hieran has just finished his spell, and it is his initiative. From Hieran, initiative continues Torhan, Perrin (and Spirit), the enforcer, Lug, Ru, Darian, Fr. Berman, and Lug's buddy.
