Vlad is correct: if we go from like Left to Right in a simple diagram:
Robed Figures --- Federigo, Lucien, & Rossa ---- Arcata, Nicolo, The Magdalena --- Iacopo and Thugs
Iacopo and his men are trying to head towards the right to get the hell out of Dodge. Nicolo has moved past you two and struck at the robed men. Arcata and The Magdalena are sorta in the midst of this kerfuffle.
