All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVI

[Norgarth]

Do we have any trope covering a summons to appear before a king?

EDIT:  And do we have any trope(s) covering any manner of emergency retreat/bug-out?

Thanks.

Don't know if you already have them, but I can think of example of each of those

For the Summons, there's the start of Shrek 2 where Shrek and Fiona get a royal message (complete with trumpets)

And for the bug out, Aliens "Marines, we are leaving!" after the first probe into the reactor plant building
