If you end up on the wrong side of the look-out where Leopold is, you can always climb up on the red roof separating both sides to get to the opposite one.
Well really, no matter how many pets you have- there's only one of YOU.

What to do
Description
We've already lost half a dozen men to a hail of bullets and arrows coming from atop this fortress. I haven't seen the face of the enemy that's firing, but I don't need to. I know the name of the man up there. Leopold. That's right, there's only one man up there, picking off my men one-by-one. And from what I can see, there's only one of you. Sounds like a fair fight to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Wrathcaster
One of the more vile members of the Scarlet Crusade, Mataus the Wrathcaster, lurks within the barracks' dungeon. Undeath suits his dark manner. Were I younger and on the front lines, I'd run him through myself. As things are, I'm left behind to lead our forces from the rear.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Commander
Scarlet Commander Marjhan is cunning, shrewd, and willing to do anything to win a battle. Before all these things, however, she is loyal. I have no doubt you'll find her in the barracks' central chamber, fighting under a crimson banner, until she either wins or dies. Make sure it's the latter.
