You take a step towards this treacherous lass and two guards, one on each arm, grab you and pull you back, bracing so any further movement toward the girl is out of the question... or rather not what you intend ... A jump back knocks both guards to the floor while you do a backflip and land on your feet. A sweeping kick and a hard right puts both down for the count.
This takes almost no time, but also too much. Jack has already pulled an alarm cord and several guards come rushing into the room, giving you no time to deal with the little backstabber. Well, you will just have to do the best you can...
Which is very good. You are John after all, arguably the best this world has ever seen. [The exaggerated courtesy of overpraising the locals insist on makes that hard to judge, But you have been in enough fights to know you are bloody good.] And the guards are armed to deal with an unruly pony girl. Their weapons will sting, perhaps badly, but they mustn't damage valuable property by cutting or even bruising you. They would be better off just throwing those weapons away.
Of course they will likely figure that out, a bit late for several of them...
Perhaps the guards should realize that you are going to attack instead of cower back as the pony girls would do. Still, you will kindly not criticize their error, except by bounding into the two in the front. As you expected, those silly little rods they carry are extremely painful, and you would howl with pain if you had the time. Unfortunately for you and them, you can shrug off the pain [for now. It will hurt twice as much later.] and slam into both of them, sending them sprawling. [Since you also grabbed their heads and slammed them together, they do not get up.]The next guard overconfidently thinks you are helpless since you are [almost] prone and steps up and raises his little stick for a slam, which never arrives since your foot first reaches an area he really should have kept armored, even if the armor is really uncomfortable. Since a pony girl can kick a lot harder than you, you can claim to be doing him a favor since he is never going to leave that spot vulnerable again. However, you don't expect him to thank you...
3 down in just a few seconds would daunt hardened troops, which these are not. So you have plenty of time to get back on your feet and get ready for the first to recover and charge you. A trip over your knee sends his pain rod flying and him sprawling. You would let him go get it, but first he will have to recover from the elbow to the back of the skull, which should take more than the length of this affair.
Now two reach you and go flying as you just lean back, grab each , and let their own momentum and your kick to the belly send them sailing over you. That won't put them out of the fight for long, but while you can likely beat this pack of clowns, there are likely more, who might be seriously armed. Time to look for an exit... Ah that window, way too high for a pony girl to reach and badly shaped for her to go thru, but you should be able to manage it...

First a shoulder to an unprepared belly and as he staggers, you charge the next two, who step back in fear, just as you expected, and so nobody is in position to interfere with your backward flip that puts you in perfect position to get out that window. ... Well, Basra is, but she is just a girl, a sheltered one too. There is no way she will think to grab that club right next to her and even if she did, she can't manage a hard enough swing to hurt, much less knock you out. No, you are going to be free in just a sec...
