By the time Goro dropped, the bandits had already come back; they always came back for the leftovers and sent them packing back to the nearest village. The additional noise and flashing at the same area was enough to already be cause for suspicion and worse yet They were approaching from the compound ahead, meaning from where Goro would have been looking if still standing up or to Hanzo's right now.

There were 6 of them in total, already diverging and splitting to the sides as they were running around Hanzo's position with a good distance of 5 ft or so. They were regular people, and while not necessarily being as physically adept as shinobi with blinding speed or anything they were still fast enough that should Hanzo relax for just a second around these goons he'd still be surrounded. The miscreants of this party wore normal clothing but had spears with iron tips that were 7 ft. or so in length. As they ran out to the side the men at the sides turned gear and brought their force to the side as they thrust their spears out. Given their length and reach, they were already uncomfortably close just from swinging about but were now looking to jab Hanzo. There were 4 in total attempting to spear Hanzo like this while the 2 in the auxiliary were still spreading out in their own direction to get a scope of the situation.

If the attackers made their point and speared Hanzo with their en masse attack, given the short blade length anything vital hit would be kept down to a minimum but he'd bleed harshly. The spear points were coming from 2 different sides at slightly different angles, usually from the back and front of his side and nowhere in between. These wounds would miss said vital organs for this time alone, but if by some horrible chance this were to happen then the 2nd time probably wouldn't be nearly as convenient for Hanzo.

Normally these people weren't so direct and forward, but after hearing and seeing that sparkling electricity that put Goro out of commission they could already tell this was a work of a shinobi. Goon squad, roll out!
