And Emmit comes into view, dressed simply.

But does anyone see the red laser dot?

Connor does, it turns out... behind the troll's left ear

Connor howls, "SHADOW PAW! EN GUARDY! GET DOWN, MISTER PRESIDENT!" And he will leap to tackle Emmit! Now, he's not especially big or brawly, but maybe some of his buddies will come with?!

A swarm of childlings yell "Shadowpaw!" and swamp the grump troll's legs.

the grump is strong, heavy, and not easily moved, but the kids coordinate and catch him in mid stride. Lane yells and pulls, allowing Connor's tackle to tumble him with Jack's help...

and Emmit falls to the ground! the bullet fires digging a hole into the post where the Namer's head had been!

Connor SQUEAKS and buries his face in Emmit's side!

"Thank you, children" Emmit says "Let the grown ups handle the rest okay?"

"Stay down, Mister President." Connor advises.

And inndeed, the wilders and grumps stir like a furious hornets!
