If you left the cellar too quickly, the ambush won't trigger. Go back in, talk to Angus again, and wait until the NPCs charge in and turn hostile.
Angus Ballaster is in a cellar. Go around the armory and approach from the west to find the entrance.

Description
The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, {class}... one I suggest we take. If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best. The Armory is but a short ride from here. I suggest you get to Ballaster before it's too late!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Weather Eye
It would be wise to get a lay of the land before we put together a plan of action. Inquisitor Notley is an expert falconer, and a reliable scout. He utilizes an ancient relic to see through the eyes of his falcon, allowing him to survey great distances.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Precious Metals
<class>, I have another objective we should consider. The Bleak Hills Mine is not too far from our location. Though the miners there principally extract iron, they do on occasion find silver among the veins.
