This is what I did indeed want.
I now need the collective term for a gathering of Assassin Mates...
a School of Assassin Mates...a set of Assassin Mates...a scheme of Assassin Mates...
I only have one I can remember offhand, and it is almost a carbon copy of the first example you give in your blog (aside from the fact the villain fell on his sword just before the assassin struck):

The Story of Blondin
Richard is also famous for having a minstrel boy (or Touralour) called Blondin who searched for him under the walls of all the dungeons in Europe. This was when Richard had been caught by the blind King of Bohemia during a game of Blind King's Bluff and sold to the Holy Roman Terror. Blondin eventually found him by singing the memorable song (or 'touralay'😉 called O Richard et mon Droit ('Are you right, there, Richard ?'😉 which Richard himself had composed. Richard roared the chorus so that Blondin knew which dungeon he was in, and thus the King easily escaped and returned to the Crusades, where he died soon after of a surfeit of Saladins, and was therefore known in the East as Richard Coeur de Laitue.
