We'll have none of that in this show. For a start, the Equity Deputy would want special pay rates for it.

Can't any of the Wise Men at least drive the bus. Any faster than camel pace would out-distance Herod.

Last time I drove the bus I crashed it. Not sure if it's wise for me to try again, but I will if no one else does.

Go for it WM2.
I'll create cover by use of a Narrative Device (it's what I'm here for).
Now,what sort of Narrative devic?
I know - the completely blank page (first used in Tristram Shandy).
That should render you invisible and you can get out of the courtyard without being seen.

the tour bus screaches across courtyard showering all and sundry with gravel, Wise Man 2 drives it through the gate (smashing the gate as he does so) and into the streets of suburban Jerusalem
Anyone know the quickest way out of the city?

Guys, there's something making an odd noise back there. Can you check it out?
Hang on, sharp left turn coming up!
Wise Man 2 steers the bus round the turn mounting the pavement/sidewalk (delete as appropriate depending on which side of the Atlantic you are) and smashing through a load of market stalls. Spotting the city gates ahead he puts his foot hard on the accelerator and speeds out of the city ...

Speaking into phone
Hi Boss, it's me, the Evil Henchman.
Holds phone away from ear for five minutes. Starts speaking again.
I'm showing ini..ini...doing things off my own bat like you told me to. You said we gotta stop the wise men, and kill them. SO i set up road blocks on all the major routes out of the city. And all the border crossings are shut. The border guards are spread along the line, with orders to shoot to disable anything trying to cross. There's no way they'll get away from us.
Yes boss.
I'm coming right back boss. In the helicopter boss.
Hangs up, climbs into the 'copter, and off it flies.

Helicopter lands, Evil henchman climbs out and runs across to Herod.
Sir! Reporting back sir!
These wisemen sir? How shall we kill them? There's oil and teacle in the kitchens, plenty of thumbscrews, spikes and pokers in the torture chambers, and a shed load of guns in the armoury. We got baseball bats and steel rods in the sports centre, plus potions and poisons in the turret. Anything more? Anyone more you wnat to kill?

The tour bus races east along the nice new highway built between Jerusalem and Babylon, with all the hills laid low and valleys filled in.
We're clear of the city now, nothing to stop us between here and Babylon.
Wait a minute, is that a helicopter I hear?
Helicopter flies beside the road heading towards Jerusalem
