Lucas would normally think twice about entering someone's home, but rushes over to the front door, knocking impatiently on it, as any second the assassin attacking him and his crewmates, could escape.
When someone finally answers, he'd quickly speak, "Pardon me, UDS here, a wererat assassin ran into your house." He then tries to push past them towards the area of the house that the rat would have entered from.
Shrek gives a friendly wave hi to the pale dragonborn that appears out of a window in Glarth's home, and calls out "Hail and well met! Special Delivery from Luskar Deliveries for Mr. Glarth!"
Lucas: Eventually a scared haggard couple answer the door, never having heard of the organization you're mentioning, much less talk of a wererat assassin. They begin to panic and enter fight or flight mode as you literally push your way into their home. The man grabs some sort of sharp farming tool and brandishes it in your direction, holding you at bay, completely convinced you are attempting to rob him, or worse. The woman flees outside, screaming, and calling for help, and it's not for assistance in finding the wererat.
Everyone else: When Glarth answers the door, he is momentarily taken aback. “Shadowdale brandy…” he pauses, and is momentarily lost in a long-forgotten memory. “There’s only one person who would send this to me… did he send you…?”
Lucas disengages from the old man and still looks for the wererat assassin, determined and driven to find and eliminate them before they can strike again.
You disengage from the panicked man with the pitchfork, getting out of reach so he cannot immediately stab you. He follows you, still believing you are not who you think you are. In the panic of the moment, furniture, cups, plates, and other household items get knocked over and jostled around as you two dance, and it's very difficult to keep an eye out for a wererat and not getting impaled by a farm tool. From here, you cannot see any evidence of a way either downstairs, or upstairs.
"Yes, we're delivering this on behalf of Rool. Shadowdale brandy isn't cheap, so you must be awfully important to this Rool." Said Percival, who simultaneously is deciding not to inform Glarth that the company had blatantly violated Rool's privacy by providing an exposition-filled note, and assuming that Shadowdale brandy is a quality liquor and not some pisswater.

Kai, a little late to the party, runs over to where the panicked woman had came from, seeing Lucas dance around with, who he had to presume to be, her husband. “Hey, hey!” Kai shouts, trying to get the attention of the rightfully freaked out man. “Just take it easy, man! He’s trying to protect you from getting hurt!”

Ava follows Kai, confused as to what Kai is doing until she sees what is happening and just starts shaking her head. "Excuse my friend, I'm sure he has a good reason for this. Lets all calm down for a moment. If he doesn't have a good reason I'll get him out of here for ya." Persuasion 6
“Okay, so, like, there’s this wererat goin’ around attacking people! Almost stabbed me last night and shot at him a minute ago then it ran in your house!”He points to Lucas (or wherever Lucas had been). “We’ll be out of your hair as soon as we catch this rat, promise! Really sorry for the intrusion!”

There it is!! A giant rat under the pantry!! It's scurrying away along the floor at dizzying speed out the open front door!! The militia arrives led by the woman. They all see the giant rat and she screams, startling the guards. It's completely pandemonium outside as giant rats are not common in a frozen wasteland like this. If you try to exit the house, the guards don't let any of you. If this keeps up you're going to be on the news.
Elsewhere, Glarth smiles. "Yes. You could definitely say that. I appreciate the delivery. Thank you for your service. Here is the money." You're handed gold for the delivery, and offered a pleasant farewell for a job well done.
"Well, this is over, I suppose that we should go see what's taking the others so long." And I assume that the commotion that they're causing is obvious enough for Percival and the rest to locate the house the others are stuck in.

"There's an awful lot of you gathered here at such a small house. Is there a problem that requires all of you to be here?" Percival says to the militia.

One of the militiamen is struggling to put on his helm. This place basically has minutemen, and not really a formal militia. "Yes, this woman complained of an intruder in her house." He turns to everyone in the house who doesn't live there. "Alright! Everyone who doesn't live in there come out! You're under arrest!"

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?

The man calms down. He's very confused and scared. "What's going on here?!"

Lucas continues to try to get around the man now that he's calmed down, and sniffs around for the wererat.
For shits and giggles, make a survival roll for me again.
