Right, listen up, we're not getting out of this battle in any realistic fashion, so I think this is actually a great time for Spark to show up. Here's how I think it should go:

[list]

- The group of escapees, beset upon from all sides by a mass of the City Watch. 

- No horses, and can't escape into the plains because they just wouldn't be able to get away in such a vast open landscape. 

- Spark shows up, with a company of either her fellow assassins/body guards, or a regiment of Mundhir's men, and drives off the City Watch. 

- Everyone piles either onto horses/camels, and carts, and then we ride off.[/list]

How does that sound?
