Perhaps your party was just too weak to save all the villagers involved. Rethink your battle strategy or party composition.

For my part I succeeded in winning the fight without much a scratch with a lvl 5 party:

lvl5 Knight (main char):

Leadership and Charisma focused character. Leadership gives terrific combat bonuses to the whole group AND to the villagers. Knight has access to Cure wounds which can fully restore a villagers HP bar. Also has access to Ranger abilities and scrolls to reposition and remove crippled status.

lvl5 Shadowblade (main char):
Raistlin specced Shadowblade that also has a splash into Pyrokinetic. Uses Fast Track to haste himself. Pyro grants access to Wildfire and Witchcraft grants access to Oath of Desecration. Equipped with an Ice-damage Rondel that costs 2AP per attack, this guy gets 4 to 7 attack in per turn depending on spell use or not. Also uses Rain scrolls when necessary to put out fire. Also chills the SparkMaster whenever possible. Also uses Wildfire scrolls on Jahan to keep his AP gain very high and Minor Heal scrolls on villagers when needed. Uses anti-burning scrolls on self.

lvl5 Madora (Two Handed high STR specced, pure specced into Warrior skills):
Most useless in this fight as AP gain is low and damage is low because of no elemental weapon. Can withstand high amount of damage however and doesnt require much healing/buffing.

lvl5 Jahan (1 Dip into Geomancer, very high int/con build): Gets Wildfired by Shadowblade on first turn granting massive AP gain. Thro Chills the SparkMaster whenenever possible. Uses Blitzbolt every turn along with Rain whenever required to put out fire. Also comes equipped with scrolls of Rain to put out every single fire. Also uses Minor Heals on villagers. Uses Fortify on Shadowblade to ensure he does not take critical physical damage.

As you can see, this fight becomes cake when ur sufficiently prepared (tons of scrolls, proper buffing/leadership party). My villagers outsustain and outlasts the SparkMaster!
