After watching the spectacle with the bard, the damned fool was odd, that much was known. But he tried to protect the small one, so he couldn't be that bad. With a huff, Karnog started to sprint towards the fallen bard. Using his momentum, Karnog slammed the argonian attacking the ward against it, disorienting him and then impaling the altmer from behind, lifting him up almost two feet into the air. Removing the blade was easy and turning around, plunged the sword into the still dazed argonian, killing him instantly. 

Walking up to the bard, Karnog offered his hand and said "The gods aren't getting you this day, bard." with a crass smirk.
