Their caster did use [Fly] (and [Fireball]). But about two seconds later he was killed along with the rest of the group.

[Fly] does not allow for particularly rapid movement, so even if he had been trying to get away by himself rather than fight, he probably would have been overtaken and killed sooner than someone fleeing on horseback. It also has a pretty sharp altitude restriction if you can't recast it (due to not being a caster or not having enough mana left), so it might not be possible to get out of range of the Dark Young's tentacles without risking killing yourself when the spell wore off.
