Even though that Battle is not necessarily honorable, it uses courage as one of its prime traits.
Courage is not having fear about entering a situation of war. It is not courageous to tag-team a mage to ensure his death. Courage is not defined by your ability to overwhelm your opponent, that is cowardice. Courage in this situation would've been to fight the necromancer one on one, especially since the bash protection is gone.
I think this situation is unique. It's not as innocent as it appears to be. Getting blackjacked by a third person, who happens to be waiting at your recall point, then assassinated by a second person, and then having Minalcar arrive and "engage" while the assassin flees, saying "Sorry, didn't know you were going to attack Minalcar."
Bull-fucking-shit, if you ask me. Even if you don't ask me, the situation is bogus from a courage OR honor standpoint. It's not like Nicias can flee and say "Here, take the 300 hp that I took off from you and fight Minalcar again. While I'm at it, you might as well wraithform since you would've anyways had the third unknown thief not blackjacked you since we'd figure you'd recall."
Mithadris.. I hate to say it, but you just got hustled by a bunch of ragers. They're nothing but a bunch of rule-bending hustlers.
