Yevaud

As he enterred the courtyard he began to try to push away his fear and insecurity, he would do this, he would not fail, not on his first mission away. Steeling his nerve he looked at the assembled men, trying to uncover friends and neighbors who'd been lost in the falling of the tower. They were dispirited, the highest ranking guard seemed to be the one who'd talked to them at the gate. And on top of that there was aDrow to deal with, a werecreature he was confident he could handle.

"You men, I'm taking charge since you've no leader, and danger is still present. After the imediate crisis is over you shall be free to go, but if you leave now, or operate without leadership many of you will likely die by the hands of whatever foul creatures are in the ruined tower." He pointed at a group of five guardsmen standing as if in shock. "You five, prepare your crossbows and aim for the door, don't fire unless you can identify the target as the Drow, the Mage, or the Werebeast, or on my command. You, over there," He pointed at a few men digging in the rubble, "take large pieces of timber, or shields if you have them and form a shield-wall. Anyone with pikes, halberds, glaives, glaive guisarmes, or any other polearm, stand behind the shield wall and prepare to skewer the villains if they appear. Ana, please tend to the wounded. You've skills beyond my imagination, and better equipped for saving lives than anyone else here."

ooc I think that should cover basic military guarding of the doors that are available. I'll also be scanning for any windows that weren't blocked off by the crash, and if they appear to be large enough for a humanoid to slip through, they will be watched.
