The Froggits seem to know more than they let on. I think they are speaking about the entire underground in general. Especially if they're supposed to be an additional help installed by Toby, if we look at it from an out-canon point of view. Besides, the residents of the ruins really have no motive to attack you.

And still, the defense drop could be understood as an unwillingness to engage. For what we know, fighting could still be taken as an attempt for magical communication.
