Those of you looking at the oncoming riders glimpse a growing dustcloud moving from the city gates in your direction. You can't make out who or what is creating it from this distance, but it does seem to be moving rapidly nearer your position.
Arrows fly and some strike true while others thud into the sand, though in the heat of battle it's difficult to tell which belong to whom. A return strike comes perilously close to Gil's head, but all he feels is the wind from its passing. One rider clutches his side and another gropes for an arrow protruding from the back of his shoulder as they thunder toward the wagon. All draw swords and axes for close combat.
Oddly, they bypass the rear of the wagon where their enemies await and lunge straight for the horses, seemingly intent on hacking the beasts down and crippling your escape.
Gil - 36/39
Jasmine - 51/55
Corthalis - 10/10
Alec - 22/22
Shylock 23/23
For those with questions regarding range/hits/etc, there will often be factors at play which modify your characters' rolls. For a little mystery and uncertainty, they aren't made known. So, just as in real life, you might be great at something and do well--yet still fail because of factors you either don't know about or couldn't control if you did. So rest easy. The same applies to the other team, as well.
Conversely, you might do poorly and luck out regardless, if fate favors you. These things happen.
