Thorbrands party is a good distance away from ballara Capitol. Far enough civilians and warriors inside it, will know nothing of the attack, until they see the smoke from the situation unfolding.

Baldur and his patrol group is nowhere near thorbrand.

After thors group flees, they will take a little while to travel to ballara Capitol.

If anyone wants to orchestrate other things, we can. I know once the collab post is done, I'll make the first post for fargrim.
