A fifth guard is well to the east, vastly outnumbered by archers. Climb the battlements to the west to save another guard and collect a Stormchaser Helm, a decent hat for plate-wearers, inside a chest near all the wounded soldiers.

Make sure you're at full health before moving further into the keep, as a pair of hurlocks with a spellcaster as backup will blow the gate open in your face. If you do save them, they retreat to the keep's main gate. If you don't save them, and fast, they'll get killed, which will have slight consequences later in the game. There are three soldiers in the courtyard in total, each of whom is fighting two or three hurlocks and genlocks by themselves. When the fight has finally subsided, you can then claim absolute victory in The Proving, something that will go a long way in supporting the man you've decided to support in the civil war, the one Lord Harrowmont.Once you're inside the town itself, be ready to knock one of your characters out of the ogre's grip, then deal with the rest of the darkspawn. It's important that you stay healed here, as this party can paralyze your entire crew, whittling down your health while you can't do anything in return. Take out his thugs and henchmen, since they fall much, much easier than he does, and in turn go after Piotin en masse, with your entire party, once the field is cleared of other foes. Piotin is powerful, and has a lot of energy to boot, so your best bet is to actually go after all of the ancillary enemies first. The fight is against Piotin and his thugs, and it's quite the battle, indeed. Here, you'll be pitted up against a full party, and will in turn have your own party at your disposal. The fifth battle, however, is another story entirely. If, for some reason, you are taking a beating, then simply heal yourself, and otherwise stick to the game plan, which is to remain on all-out offense at all times. After each fight, your character will be healed automatically, so you have little to actually worry about in that respect. That's because there's no real penalty to sustaining some damage in each fight. The key to all of these fights is to remain aggressive, staying on the offense, and whittling down your enemy's health as quickly as you can. In the fourth round, you'll even be able to pick a partner to fight alongside you, which can be any member of your party, or a character you freed up to fight alongside you (such as the aforementioned Baizyl). You've likely spoken to all of your opponents back in The Proving, when you were exploring. You'll do battle with both one enemy and two enemies, depending on the round. Speaking of the first four battles separately isn't really necessary, because the challenge level presented by these fights is, at best, completely laughable. When you're ready, initiate battle, sit through the introductory sequences, and then get ready for a battle. The first four battles you encounter are laughably easy, but the fifth battle isn't at all a joke, so to be safe, save before the final battle, though you're likely to not find a need to save before that. After each round, you'll be brought back to the Proving Master, at which point you can jump right into the next battle, or step aside for a moment in order to heal, collect items, or whatever else. Ultimately, when all is said and done, and you've exhausted your want to explore, you're going to have to head back to the Proving Master, and participate in battle. You can find more information about that side quest at the aptly-named Side Quests section of this guide. That particular battle is actually associated with the side quest known as Thief in the House of Learning. You may also find yourself under assault at a certain juncture as you explore, by a character named Fixer, and his crew of flunkies. Nonetheless, you can talk some trash back and otherwise uncover many characters' motives simply by speaking with them here. Indeed, many of the characters you speak to here will ultimately be characters you end up fighting in one of the five rounds at The Proving. Most of them, such as Piotin, will have nothing nice to say to you. You can talk to any number of characters. There's more to be done here yet, though again, it's entirely optional.
