I started the thug quest in Askar where you find the thugs in the city and attack them. Then after being initiated to wait for the thugs to reform, i waited till the thug group showed up. When that battle started ( i had "Rancid Lazif" as the opposing group with 16 man) 2 of his man spawned on the ground and 14 of them spawned on a roof in the middle of the town. I tried the option to back out and re-initiate the fight but even then they spawn on the roof again.
