At first, the diplomatic approach seemed to be going surprisingly well; despite recognizing Carmen and the others as being involved in the incident earlier in the day, the sergeant that first confronted them as they approached allowed the group to enter the outpost and speak with the commanding officer. There was some tension when the commander brought up an incident that had occurred on the border several years back, but they managed to shift away from that topic and on to matters more at hand.

Listening to their discussion over the communicator Carmen gave them, they learned the status of the major factions in the area; who the rebels were, some details concerning the identity of the "witch" they had previously heard of - the one behind the experiments they had witnessed earlier, apparently - and the fate of Paladin Thomas... dead, if they could take the commander at his word. Rezello glanced at Linceleste as that detail came to light, as she had previously mentioned that Thomas was her uncle; whatever she was feeling, she didn't seem to be showing it. Refusal to believe the commander's claim, perhaps.

Regardless, when the commander was pressed for evidence or details of the paladin's demise, he refused, instead declaring his intent to have Carmen and his entourage detained. Obviously, that was not an acceptable outcome, and it wasn't long before fighting broke out. Even without the communicator, the sound of combat could be heard from their position outside the outpost; Linceleste took that as her cue to detonate her drone's explosives, blowing open holes in the northern wall of the outpost and escalating the chaos occurring within.

Rezello nodded, spadone appearing in his right hand with a flash of silver light as he rode his horse alongside her, acting as her vanguard as he readied himself to strike down any stray soldiers still outside the outpost as they made their way towards it.
