Knowing there is no point to stealth now he has been spotted, Mthunzi will try to distract the guards so that the others can come up behind them. Hoping the two guards will assume him to be one of their company, he will approach them with a broad smile on his face, saying "Have you heard the good news, Kgosi Olmar is dead and Malim plans to take Ngela as his bride! There will be many celebrations!"
If the guards question his identity, he will tell them his name and try to persuade them that he has newly joined Malim's group. Striking a conversation with the guards (asking their names, what they think of the village, how much loot they will get working for Malim etc) he wants to position himself beyond the pair so that their is attention is drawn to him (allowing the others to approach behind them).
When the rest of the group are gathered behind the guards he will drawn their attention to them as though still a guard himself, then when they turn to face his companions, Mthunzi will use the previous tactic and hold his blade to one of the guards throats.
Should this all plan fall apart and the guards not buy any of this Mthunzi will pull a face at the guards and then run off between huts.
The younger of the two turned to the older one, " Is Malim telling everyone?"
The older one frowned, " Shut up. Who are you?"

" I have not seen you before Mthunzi. When did you arrive? You were not in the longhouse earlier...", his knobkerrie lay easily in his hand and he had not relaxed at all.
" I am Mbaye and this idiot is Pape. The town is a town and Malim does not pay enough....but there is little other work for killers of men at this time."

The others had been circling around and creeping forward when Kuublus shoulder brushed the edge of a hut roof, a collection of copper bowls that had been drying on the sloping surface clattered to the ground.
Pape span around and threw his knobkerrie at Kuublu, the heavy wooden head struck Kuublu in the chest with a sharp cracking sound..
OOC: Extreme rolls here. Worst possible stealth check for Kuublu and Pape rolls a 1 on his ATT roll.
