It occurred to me that I might escape while the gang attacked my friends.

Bud has turned, but is somehow able to think and does not attack his friends.

As he is about to attack his friends, the snake bites him.

Or even attacking his friends, thinking they were enemies.

"And you have no idea what attacked your friends and the two constables?"

Meanwhile, my men will be attacking and destroying your friends!

I consider asking more questions-who on Earth is attacking my friends?

"Then, is that who attacked my friends and me on our ship?"

If klael's soldiers can run into those caves to catch their breath, they'll be coming out and attacking our friends every time we turn around.

Well, let me tell you, slimenose, if any of your tribe try attacking my friends, you're the first one I'm coming after.
