To be honest, I still think that even if August hear them out, he would've continue the attack anyway. The only thing I considered Mest ruined is that they might possibly lose Brandish' goodwill and she turns from a neutral party back to an enemy. That is so not how you repay someone who was willing to help you out. It all depends now whether Brandish decides to forgive them for it. Even though Mest is the one who betrayed her, I believe that joint responsibility applies in this situation as Mest's actions would represent the guild.
