Lucius scanned the rest of the room and noted the positions of all the guards and began thinking of the best way to kill them all without implicating any of the captured women. After thinking for a while he came to the conclusion that the best way would just be to slaughter them all while attracting all the attention so the attacks were focused on him. In the first place most of the guards here had whips instead of blades so it was less likely that they would accidently kill any women. At most they would be whipped which wasn't as life threatening as a cut from a blade.
