While Lynch was momentarily distracted, Zilvra had already taken down two snake-men. She approached slowly from downwind to avoid being detected by their sense of smell, and then, with lightning speed, thrust her thin sword up behind the opponent's neck into the snake-man's brain, giving it a vicious twist. This technique avoided most of the bones, so not a single sound was made; the snake-men didn't even have time to call for help, and when they fell to the ground, they didn't even realize they were dead.
Zilvra propped the two corpses against the wall, disguising them as if they were still on duty. She even placed the two snake-men close together, their heads touching, presenting an ambiguous scene. Lynch stifled a laugh, knowing that even if patrol soldiers saw these two snake-man guards standing still, they would not go forward to ask questions and embarrass themselves.
