I was gonna say, it may have been more of a logistics issue. I feel like once you get 5 or more people around someone, stabbing the shit out of them, it's probably hard to butt into the circle without catching a blade yourself, and I highly doubt they lined up single file.
If action movies have taught me anything, it's that a huge group vs one protagonist means all the baddies take turns kinda dancing in place until it's their time to stab.
"Queue up lads, get your stabbin' arm ready for a bit of pokey-pokey."
You put your dagger in You pull your dagger out You put your dagger in And you shake it all about You do the Pokey Pokey and you throw Ceaser out That's what it's all about!
That's why, when you've got a bunch of people attacking a kung-fu master, you've always got to attack one at a time. Otherwise you'll just get in each other's way.
Can confirm.
(I do LARPs sometimes, I have never rallied 4 friends to stab someone together IRL)
