You begin to meditate.
You fall out of the tree as you attempt to take a meditative position.

As it was your last equipped tool, you draw your hoe.
Come down from the tree and say "okay", then just walk? away.

in the confusion stroll away
He's bemused, but not distracted. If you flee, he's going to axe you from behind.
encourage fellow serfballs to aid you and crush tyrannic guard
As you begin to call out, the guard yells in pain before you can finish your first word.
It's shankball!
