THAT'S why we ran for our lives. They completely intended to kill us. Sure Alphinoud and Alise may have been nice political prisoners being the Grand Children of Louisuox and heirs to one of the Sharlyan noble families. But Minfilia is an Alamihgan Refugee who changed her name to avoid the Empire, Thancred is an Ex-Rouge, Yda and Papalymo are relatively unknown in Ul'dah as is Y'shtola.

So besides The WoL and the Twins they had no reason to keep any one else alive. And despite the fact that we're Godslaying Warriors of Light we could still be outnumbered and over run. Sure we can stop a primal but could we fight ALL OF THEM at one time? Answer... No. So a few hundred crystal braves and a few THOUSAND Brass Blades would have easily over run the WoL, an Ex-Rouge, a punch happy blond chick, and two "Weirdo Scholars". Especially since Minfilia was kinda limited on her fighting abilities and Roubahn was literally dis-armed just minutes before hand.
