I'd like to point out that from our last scouting report lines of command have largely collapsed for both Mors and Eshin:
It is extremely unlikely that they could rally their troops for anything if their lines are this fractured, much less taking on an Emperor Dragon. Never mind extricating them from the enemy clan when pretty much everyone is berserking because of the Black Hunger. Skaven in Black Hunger attack and cannibalize their own brothers in arms if they can't get anything else. You're going to need more than stern orders from the top to get them to make common cause with their enemy.
It should also be noted that Eshins top operatives are called Assassins for a reason. Decapitation strikes are a huge part of their doctrine. They would certainly have attempted to kill the enemies supreme commander, which means it is extremely likely that either Sleek or most of Eshins top ranks or even both are already dead at this point. This also means that any attempt to forge a temporary alliance is unlikely to succeed, because Sleek will rightly expect treachery from the rats whose entire thing is underhanded killing and who will have attempted to assassinate him multiple times this day if they ask to meet with him to discuss a truce.
If anyone is escaping from this mess it will be small groups of disorganised survivors and potentially Eshin operatives. Since you seem mostly worried about Lords i'd also like to point out that Eshin Assassins are generally as stealthy as Mathilde, and i doubt a bunch of rushed field fortifications would prevent her from slipping out. Certainly didn't stop her when she made her raids on the Skaven lairs of K8P. If any Eshin Lord tier character wants to leave Yar, there isn't really anything we can do to stop them.
