First, Thancred knows the Palace more than the Main character and can evade detection. They likely sent a small contingent after him and he gave them the slip (He even says so.)

WoL, on the other hand, was bereft of their weapons as a standard courtesy of entering the bed chambers of a Sultana. You had no weapon , period. It's not in any of those cutscenes, and you're not going to win hand to hand against that many swords.

As far as those trying to justify taking the spare sword from Raubahn, you're assuming the sword is in anywhere within reach when Crystal Braves and Brass Blades are about to pour in the door.

Keep in mind, level is not related to in-canon skill. Brass Blades are not all skillless sellswords. You also had Crystal Braves, many of them were well trained, as described to you earlier in the cutscenes.
