When he was at the roof line, he couldn't see down into the street (it is a two storey building, which makes the angle unfavourable), so he doesn't know if there is any interest in what is happening at the front of the house
[[ There seem to be a lot of 2 story houses here; were there silhouettes in windows? I had imagined that given the fence heights, all the observers were on the hop story.]]
[[Correct. This area of the Scholar's Ward is mainly residential with terraced, two-storey houses. Brand did not see anyone looking out from across the road at the front of the house, only at the rear.]]

Brand will go to the front of the property, cautiously, to see what can be seen in the street, and front garden. He is cautious, hoping/expectig to see the other half of Tambor's forces.
As Brand crosses the roof line of the house, he begins to hear sounds in the street: the sounds of running feet, a few rushed words.
Brand reaches the edge of the roof and is looking immediately down into the street (i.e., there is not front garden). He can see three people running away from the house: two to the left and one to the right.

[[A little distance down the street there is a horse and carriage pulled up beside one of the houses. Other than that, maybe the entrance to Melitta's house would do.]]
[[But I'm afraid that's it for me tonight. I have an early start tomorrow. Ciao.]]

Unless he sees or hears something notable, Brand will drop down to street level, just out of sight of the door (he doesn't want someone in the door to see him appear), and away from street lights...skulk and reappear; assuming there are no gasps at his appearance, he will swap Unseeing to left hand and leave his right hand free, lower his bandana, then walk briskly to the front door and say, "What in blazes is going on here?"
Brand drops down to the street level and hears the sounds of savage fighting coming from the open front door of the house.
Reappearing, he removes the Stone of Uplifting from his left-hand glove and swaps the Stone of Unseeing to it, just as a door on the other side of the street opens spilling more light out onto the street.
Approaching the front door of the house, he leave his words unspoken because there is a desperate battle of blades occurring just inside the main entrance.
A bloodied Tambor, armed with scimitar and shield, is fighting two men in the narrow confines of the corridor. One of the men is also armed with a scimitar while the other is holding a dagger and looks like he is looking for an opening to throw it. These two men are closer to the front door of the house and are between Brand and Tambor, and none of the participants seem to be aware of Brand at this point.

[[ Edit: Brand can draw a dagger (1 free hand, free action); am I correct in assuming that Brand can't put away his other stone, and still draw a second dagger and have an action this turn? ]]
[[Correct. Drawing a weapon can be done as part of an attack. Brand can also interact with one object as a free action (i.e., put away a stone). However, drawing a second dagger is going to use his action, which would prevent him doing an attack.]]

Initiative rolls:

The villain with the scimitar strikes at Tambor: 23
But he has restricted in his blow by the narrowness of the corridor.
Tambor strikes back with an up and down chopping motion: 13 (Damage: 6 + 2 ) and his enemy goes down.
He glances around to see if there is anyone nearby, [[ Assuming none in earshot ]] then lowers his voice a little. "Alaric Brand."
He looks at the bodies on the floor and continues, "You took these all on by yourself? You are a braver man than I. You look injured...are there more?"

[[There are people behind him. About 10' behind him in the corridor there is the second man with a crossbow (the one who wasn't a town guard). He is leaning up against the wall with blood all down the left side of his torso. Further down the corridor, Brand can also see the two guards, who seem to be watching over at least one prisoner. Considering this, I assume Brand doesn't give his last name.]]
He looks at the bodies on the floor and continues, "You took these all on by yourself? You are a braver man than I. You look injured...are there more?"
"What business do you have here?" demands Tambor, breathing heavily.
Before Brand can answer, there comes a shout from up the corridor. "There's someone out the back. I'll get them."
Tambor looks over his shoulder and then back to Brand. "Stay here," he orders, before turning and heading toward the back of the house.

Initiative rolls:
Tambor: 14

Despite being outnumbered and flanked, the dagger wielding enemy continues to fight on.
[[Chance of turning on Brand 1–3 on a d6 roll: 4 ]]
Instead of throwing his dagger, he wildly strikes out at Tambor, despite the man holding a shield: 9
Tambor repulses the feeble attack easily and then strike back in anger: 13
Although his enemy tries to dodge, he is not fast enough (Damage: 9 )
Tambor runs him through (which looks really nasty considering the sword is a scimitar) and the man collapses, sliding off the sword.

Brand grimaces, and watches as the man collapses to the floor, then sheathes his dagger.
"Are there more? I saw three of the villains run out the front."
Tambor glares at Brand for a moment and then lowers his sword.
