Fire would cause a smoke pillar that would alert every no-good live human dirtbag that there was someone there. Spears, I have no idea - I've been squawking about that for years now. At least they finally got a sword and T-Dog briefly used a riot shield.
They're setting up these three great conflicts - Rick and the Governor, Daryl and Merle, Andrea and Michonne. That said, I don't think any of them will be killed by the other in their 'pair'; they'll just have intense meeting scenes.
Without the benefit of having read the comics (which, from what I hear, are so wildly off now they might as well be discounted anyway), here's what I think will happen, in spoilers just in case.
Spoiler!
I think the two raiding parties will cross each other. Merle and his two goons will attack the non-combatants back at the prison; Carl, Carol, and Axle will all survive, but at least one - and maybe all three - of Judith, Herschel, and Herschel's Other Daughter will be shot by Merle's group or eaten by zombies.
Meanwhile, Rick and his party attack Woodbury. They rescue Glen and Maggie, but lose Oscar in the process. If the Governor dies, it will happen by a female, probably either Michonne or his zombified daughter, but also possibly Maggie or Andrea. Speaking of Andrea, she will side back with the survivors once she sees that the Gov tortured (or allowed Merle to torture) Glen. She, and the nerdnik scientist, will escape with the survivors, and they'll start a romance down the line.
The party returns to the prison just in time, kills Merle's two nameless, faceless goons. Daryl and Merle will have their scene, and then - I'll call it here - Merle will kill Daryl before running off into the woods, to become a recurring villain.
Top Five Most Likely Good Guy Deaths: Judith, Herschel, Herschel's Other Daughter, Oscar, Daryl.
Most Likely To (Re)Join The Group: Andrea, Nerdnik Scientist.
Now we'll see how wrong I am next week.
