((OR SO YOU THINK!
Actually, yeah. You're headed there from Kalmoth.
Man this has been a long time.
But you know... that's enough of that.
As of right now I'm trying to remember the entire caravan troupe. I could have sworn you were on the one with the renovated dump truck, but kroz hasn't worked with those guys recently. Maybe it's the just plain truck...
But hey. I'm the GM. I'm warping any possible realities to set this stage:))
You're about three days out of Kalmoth with about ten more to go. With you is:
Octopus guy - gooey little friend who you can't understand without a translator.
KRoZ - Modern day western gunslinger with an unusual set of habits.
Cleetus and Billy Ray - Small skinny hillbilly gunfighter who rides in his mutatedly huge younger brother Billy Ray's back harness and mans a mounted gun placed on his shoulders.
"Grim" - the given alias of an angry looking bald man with an M60 and a pickaxe who sleeps with a teddybear.
Bart - Former company grunt who got wanderlust after retiring. He is now your caravan master.
Nandos - Unusually quiet and unfriendly fellow who looks a mix between a biker and a mummy. Black leather motorcycle gear and helmet which he always wears show bandages underneath in various rips and tears in the clothing.
You're travelling using an older model of armored truck, modified with a half-track setup, and interchangeable front wheels with ski-like sand travel things. It's towing a traditional now adays big rig storage box with sand tires.
I'm pretty sure you brought your hurse along, as did KRoZ bring his car. Cleetus rides Billy Ray, and Nandos rides a snowmobile.
As usual, none of the guards know what they're protecting.
If you can think of anything else that I totally forgot, I'll throw it in or mod the situation. But as is I'll just throw you into this mix.
I'll wait for a reply before I continue.

Mid afternoon on the third day of your travels, two men in brown overcoats and wide brimmed hats are seen in the distance standing in the middle of the desert right in the path of where the vehicle will go.
Their faces are obscured by the hat brims and accompanying shadows of the high desert suns. They were only spotted now at about 250 ft off due to those interesting heat wave anomalies that come from the sand. They wave to hail you.
Everyone seems a variance of confused or edgy. Two men out in the middle of the desert with no signs of transportation can mean a few things: 1) It's a trap. 2) They were lucky you came by. 3) These are no ordinary men.

On the radio "...I don't know... Stay sharp."
You see over on his car he's fiddling with a binocular visor system thing.
As you guys pull closer, you slow to a stop about a hundred feet back. The men slowly walk forward.
From here you can get a better look at them.... kinda. One has long grey hair and beard showing from under his wide hat. The other is clean shaven and looks younger.
They almost look like they came out of a western with their long brown overcoats and the caked on dust.
KRoZ gets out of his car, wearing some tanned leather armor. The other guard folk step forward a bit in potential defensive positions. Except Nandos. He hangs back near the truck, leaning against it but looking at the men.
Your Caravan Master Bart steps out and looks at the men suspiciously. "You boys lost?"
They tip their hats in eerie unison then push them up a bit to reveal their faces. The younger man has a strong jaw with harsh eyes and blonde hair. The older man could be his father with those same eyes and a full thick King Friday beard.
The two of them speak at the same time. "By the order of the Holy Knights of his most divine grace, we have come to claim of darkness who lurks among you!" They each reach under their coats and draw guilded longswords.
"Those who interfere will face similar judgement," They continue, "and may God show them the mercy that he did not see fit to bestow us!"
You hear Nandos growling behind your line, low and animalistic.
Action?

You get into position, Nandos calls out: "Madmen! They are here for the caravan! Kill the dogs!"
Bart: "Strangers, I don't know none of this Holy Knight stuff, but you better just back your asses away from this truck b'fer we blow em off."
Two men: "We mean to harm none but the one of Darkness." They say still walking forward, swords outstretched to their sides.
Cleetus: "This don't seem right y'all."
Billy Ray: " Urrrr...."
Cleetus: "That's right Billy!"
Nandos: "They'll kill us all. Fire!"
Grim: "I been waitin' to get some killin' done."
Bart: "You just stop right where you are b'fer my boys light your sorry asses up!"
KRoZ: "..."
Nandos: "OPEN FIRE!"
You?

Sorry about the delay.
Nandos tosses his arms behind him, and with a blast of force that creates a crater at his feet he is surrounded with an aura of intense heat. The air around him ignites and red eyes glow through his normally black tinted helmet visor.
The two sworders run forward as Grim opens fire with his M60. Bart dives inside his truck.
Kroz and Octoman have not yet taken action.
You?

The more basic the action you take, the better prepared you will be to parry. For instance, you could fire and get ready to dodge, fire twice and be left open, or not fire at all and prepare yourself to do all manner of things at a moments notice, like fire at a more opportune time, dive out of the way, or the like.
