[OOC: Andrew, Sorry, but the above makes no sense as Guilliame and Samel are the only ones inside at the moment. Dora, Alice and Barrus are all outside protecting the approaches to the outpost.
Do you want Guilliame to knock on the inside of the window about the noises he is hearing from outside?]

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
[OOC is there a breeze and if so from which direction is it coming?]
[OOC: No breeze, but fortunately no rain either. The clouds I described earlier are still there keeping it really dark, but the feel of the weather is less oppressive now.]
For Dora:
[OOC: As far as Dora knows, all magic is caused by something that is supposed to float around in the air that only magi can see (seehere) but anyone with the right knowledge and training can tap into it in a limited way (seehere). She would also know that a magi can normally tell another magi by sight (re: Guilliame's 'see the arcane' action). However, she has never heard of any practitioner of magic describing the magic/mana itself having a smell, though some items used for casting magic have their own smell.
Long story short: what she heard is probably untrue.]

Time passes and Dora begins to wonder why the Sheriff hasn't returned. He had seemed keen to make it back before the Seekers arrived.
More time passes and then—a little after Dora hears the next candle being called—she see three people of approaching from the south on foot. She sees them at some distance because they are making their way through the dark using a non-flickering, magical light held aloft by one of them.
She notices that the other two are also wearing scimitars and decides that it is likely Jack and Luca returning with someone from the Temple of Donai. But it cannot be Seeker Lomani, because the light bearer is clearly a man and not a woman.

[OOC Dora would be familiar with the gait and general appearance of Jack and Luka. Does she recognise the two scimitar carriers as Jack and Luka by their distinctive movement and appearance.]

For Dora:
[OOC: Dora would indeed be familiar with the two men and, as the two come closer, she becomes convinced it is her two handsmen returning.
Also, if you look at the Inventory on Dora's character sheet, you will see that she does indeed have a signal whistle.]
The blast of a whistle cuts through the quiet of the night.
For Guilliame:
Seconds after the whistle blast, Alice opens the door and says, "Magus. Someone is coming and the handleader wants you. I will look after this one."

Leaving the cabin, Guilliame sees Handleader Wallus and Handsmen Barrus looking down the road that leads to the rest of the city. Following their gaze, Guilliame sees three people heading towards the guard post, one lighting the way with a magic light.
For Guilliame:
[OOC: The person with the magic light is Basilly Cullen, Seeker Lomani's apprentice.]
[OOC: No need for any more spoilers at the moment.]

To Samuel and Barrus "I hope that lot realise they may have a fight on their hands later."
Knock loudly on the door and shout. "Keep it down in there. We want to hear something other than elephants approaching."
"Although I have heard elephants are quieter than you think so we might not even hear them."
I look at Barrus and exhale loudly "thank goodness they moved on, I will go back to watch the south."
I walk back to the road south of the guardpost, smelling the air as I walk. There is a rumour I've heard that Dark Magick has a certain odour.

[OOC do I have a whistle or horn or something I can sound to alert Barrus and Guilliame. If so sound it. If not then as follows."
Run to the guardpost, call out, "Alice, we have company, ask the magus to join us out here, you stay there."
I also yell to Barrus, "Barrus, this way."
