Guys, no bad intentions. You planned to leave the citadel, I wanted Shorus to stay behind and cover your escape. He has no intention to fight off all the guards, just to draw their fire till you escape, that's all. After that he will collapse a wall or something and use the havoc to escape himself. I don't see a reason for spark to not introduce her character, a battle is a good time like every other time. And you don't even have to fight, just use the havoc Shorus created to escape.
And yes, I needed the Minotaur to be busy for a while, I actually told you that.. (Hamster, you ignored that, so I tried to make him busy myself).
