Garmund believes that the men in his éored must act for the sake of the Norcrofts, even against the will of Reeve Athelward. Not all men share his sentiments, and some refuse to disobey the Reeve.
'Garmund oversteps his bounds! We are under direct orders from Reeve Athelward himself; we are to guard the city walls and never to patrol beyond.
'I will not take part in this disobedience. I understand that it is a noble undertaking, but we have our commands, and we must follow them.
'I suggest you inform Garmund that I will be reporting to Athelward the moment he abandons his post. Do not take part in his foolishness, Player.'1/1

'I cannot fault Léofcetel for his loyalty to the Reeve, but there is more to duty than simply following commands. We have all sworn oaths to protect these lands and the people that live upon them. I wish to uphold those oaths and to bring justice to the trespassers against the plains of Rohan. I will gladly face the consequences, if my deeds preserve even a yard of my homeland.
'I welcome you to ride with us, Player. We intend to strike fear into these brutes and pillagers.'1/1
'It weighs heavy upon my heart to see the lands I have sworn to protect in such ruin and abandonment. Slowly may we overcome the numbers of the Orcs and their trail of wreckage, but not if we are shut behind our city walls.
'I thank you for accompanying me, Player. It is no small comfort to know that there are others who know the importance of protecting one's home.'1/1
