[quote=@darkwolf687] This. I don't think anyone needs to die or get maimed really. That probably wouldn't be the aim of anyone in fight- Assuming there actually was an all out melee which is less than likely anyway. zak wouldn't have 'held' the doorway anyway; the plan was to sandwich Lugft's men between two groups, effectively leaving them trapped in the doorway area/alcove while getting poked at from both sides with spears and as such get them to begrudgingly surrender and agree to leave (I don't think either party would want to kill the other. That would risk a blood feud and war. At worst they would want to capture the other for ransom I imagine.) [/quote] weeeeeeeeeell Lugft isn't rational or forgiving... but honestly a fight might not happen at all, I don't know if we need more than a mexican standoff that just sorta ends honestly, especially if we don't need/want anyone to get injured. Lugft came unprepared for a fight with few guards so would probably bluster and threaten before brutally Murdering Talli within earshot/sight of Aery and blaming it on her before angrily leaving to get new brides (See:Nadia/Amalia and such)
