If they have any pursuers, they quickly put them in the distance. In fact, before long, they'll come across a courier on horseback, who looks like one of the guards from the town. In fact, they're easily able to keep up with the horse, moving at a light trot that it can keep up for hours. They can easily pass him, by slipping off of the trail, though that might be a bit of a shock for him, if they arrive in the next town, without horses, before him.
