Guilliame might not have started this fight, but he certainly finishes it as the two men, both of who look to be stronger than himself, succumb to his magick.
The first man to fall is obviously a farmer of some type and he dropped as though he had been poleaxed. The second man is dressed somewhat flamboyantly and, for a moment, it looked like he might resist the effects of the spell, but then he too eventually sank to the ground.
[OOC: This fight is now over and we are out of combat. Guilliame has gained 20 Experience points.]
Handleader Wallus stops and looks back at Guilliame and then smiles. "Master de Marchant, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. Now come and help me sort out what this is all about." She then points at the farmer type and adds, "I know this one, I will handle him. You look after mister fancy pants there. We do not want either of them to do a runner before we find out if anything more serious than a row over spilt drinks is going on."
Go up to the fancy-panted gent. It sounds didn't have weapons but if there are any on the ground or they have any obvious ones then push them away from the (hopefully) sleeping body.
To Wallus; "Do you have something I can secure him with?"
[OOC: Guilliame would not say 'week' as the term in not used in this world. He would say a 'tenday', as Brock did. Find out more about the calendar here.]
"There was a farmer," says the man with the fancy pants looking around and then up into Guilliame's face, "he was, he was, making rude suggestions to Janny. And he would not take 'no' for an answer."
Then he stops and, after a moment's thought, says hurriedly, "Barred? But I have a job. I cannot afford to be barred."
[OOC: As far as Guilliame can tell, the man seems to be telling the truth. If not, he is a very good liar and quick thinking.]
"This one needs to sleep it off," Guilliame hears Handleader Wallus say from where she is standing over the other man. "He probably would have fallen down anyway, even without your magicks."
At this point, the doors to the Shepherd's Rest open and a number of people in colourful clothing, some of whom are carrying musical instruments, step out into the street.
"Rabal!" one of them calls out before silencing themselves at the sight of Handleader Wallus' uniform.
"Here," says the man in Guilliame's grip.
"Handleader," begins an older man, stepping forward and pointing at Guilliame. "That ruffian has his hands on my employee. Please rescue him as I need him to carry gear."

[OOC: Just to be clear, these conversations are in Stemian.]
As Guilliame watches on, Handleader Wallus straightens up and says, "That 'ruffian', is a duly appointed auxiliary of the city watch. Now who are you?"
The older man takes another step forward and gives the handleader an exaggerated bow. "Zed de Maclan at your service, noble Handleader. My employee was insulted by that hayseed lying on the ground at your feet. He is, in fact, a victim in this case and does not deserve further manhandling."
[OOC: As Guilliame is watching these proceedings carefully, I will get you to make an Insight check for him.]

1. Although this conversation is mainly taking place in Stemian, there are some words from Sorendenese in there (e.g., 'ruffian') that do not have an easy equivalent in Stemian. 2. The name 'de Maclan' rings a bell with Guilliame. You can make a straight Wisdom check for Guilliame versus a DC of 13 if you yourself cannot make the connection. 3. Guilliame has the distinct impression that Zed de Maclan is treating this situation in a very cavalier manner, as if he didn't really care what happened to the man at Guilliame's feet (i.e., his supposed employee).]
"We just got here," begins Handleader Wallus. "So, I cannot say who is in the right and who is in the wrong, if anyone. All I care about is that the peace is kept—"
At this point, the man Guilliame has a hold on begins to squirm forcing Guilliame to focus his attention on him. "Yes, I am a victim," the man says. "He took a swing at me when I pulled him away from Janny."
He then pauses for a few moments before asking, "Ugh... What did you do to me?"
[OOC: Guilliame knows Eddard Maclan at the School of Occult Studies. The Maclans are a noble family. Zed de Maclan might have a connection with the Maclan family in the same way Guilliame has a connection with the Marchant family. As to how far removed that connection is, is unknown.]
"What do you mean? You fell over as we came towards you."
"Oh dear then," says the man shaking his head. "I think maybe I had one of my episodes... I felt strange and then you were just there... But I have never had one like this before."
After a moment's thought, he looks in the direction of his employer and then back at Guilliame before saying, "But perhaps someone did cast a spell on me. Did you see him anywhere around?"

The man scowls at Guilliame and then turns to look at the group of people at the entrance to the tavern. Guilliame's eyes follow the direction of his gaze.
"Well," begins the older man, who seems to be the leader of the small group, some of whom seem to be carrying musical instruments, "if you will just tell your compatriot to let my employee go, we will take our leave of this establishment so that you might attempt to keep that peace of which you so desire. But I wish you the luck of Venuss—the place is very rowdy tonight."
[OOC: Paul still hasn't set up his D&D Beyond account; he is a bit under the weather because he had his Astra Zeneca vaccination yesterday. So I am loath to force him into any action. But is there anything you want Guilliame to do at this point?]

Go up to the fancy-panted gent. It sounds didn't have weapons but if there are any on the ground or they have any obvious ones then push them away from the (hopefully) sleeping body.
To Wallus; "Do you have something I can secure him with?"
Guilliame checks fancy pants and see he just has a simple undrawn knife in a sheathe at his waist; he pulls it free and throws it to one side.
He then calls out to Handleader Wallus about the means to secure the prisoner and she responds, saying, "Use his belt, if you need to."
Guilliame pulls the man's belt free and uses it to bind the man's hands behind his back. He begins to stir as Guilliame does this.
"What is going on?" says fancy pants, groggily.
