The mercenaries toting the fair ladies of Montefiore had been confident they made good their escape once fleeing the inn. The screaming, chaos, death and confusion had served as the perfect smokescreen... or so they had thought. A handful of the Montefiores were determined to get their charges back to them. The three men that had absconded were surprised upon being confronted by a man with a buckler. When the one fell, another cried out in alarm through the rain and storm. They were not alone. They would be successful in their meeting, no matter what the cost may be.
While the priest was successful in dispatching one of the mercenaries, the back up from the escape route had arrived in short order. It did not take them long to realize that more of the Ducal guard were coming to intercept them. One of the sergeants quickly realized that the entire attack had gone poorly, or else they would have arrived alone and calmly. Damn it all. "Get the girls to the horses! Go! We'll deal with this damned whelp!" Four man drew their swords, approaching Piero with the intent of skewering him through. This would provide the men carrying the women the opportunity to go on.
That is, unless, a certain number of the ducal guard were to arrive in time to stop them all...

OOC NOTE: Alright, folks. Phillip has requested a separate thread from here on out. I figured this would be a good enough set up for a new thread. I'll basically repost this as the opening for you guys to work with.
