As long as the guards don't attack us, something I clearly can't see any reason for given that Lorcan has only tried to talk to them, we get at least some entertainment for our money.

Also: What would an alternative route have been to 'help them out' ? Would it have been better ?

I'm sorry that my post was doomed to end in failure from the very beginning as I saw that '1' from the guild's dice roller :/
