Riley McClean
Riley continues to concentrate on the men at the wagons. Although he doesn't know why Dakota is asking questions, he is sure it will make the men even more nervous. This might lead to one of them making a mistake and reaching for a gun, which mostly likely will mean they will die of natural causes ... since a bullet through your heart will naturally cause you to become dead.
Spot check 10+6=16 if necessary

He is beyond my skills to save him. The best we may do is ease his pain until the final moments.
Does it look like he can understand? Is he armed?

Marshal Colburn
Colburn quickly grows impatient with the side-stepping traveler. He brushes back the gun side of his coat to reveal his shining sidearm.
"Alright, man. Come clean with this. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I ain't gonna brush it off, and I ain't looking forward to wastin' any more of my time or that of my men with this drawn out malarkey. What's in that wagon that you're so skittish about, and is it yours to hide?" He glances to Dakota and Riley to see that they notice his escalated posture.
"And don't try pullin' nothin' on me 'cause I'm gonna see it with my own eyes before I leave here."

Riley smiles slightly as the Marshal decides to push the issue. This pussy-footing around was getting old for the gunfigher as well. "What ever you got there ain't worth dyin for. Yer out gunned and out classed, so don't do nothin stupid," he suggests in an off-hand manner.
It's pretty clear from his almost bored tone of voice that he isn't worried about these guys. Confidence has always been the best weapon of the gunfighter. Of course, his hand is almost resting on his gun, in case these yahoo's don't take his warning.

Dakota Turnbow
Dakota rests his hands on the pommel of his saddle. “I’d listen to these sweethearts if I was you, boys,” he says cheerfully.

Michael is crouched by the wounded man, looking for a reaction from his compatriots.

Bear Trap
"All right there men, my head hurts from all this talkn' out the sides o' your mouths. The marshal want's to know your business and I'm tired of waiting."
With that, the big man loops the reins of Mule and Horse over Dakota's saddlehorn and strides over to the half buried cart. On the way over he rolls his shoulders a few times and crack's his knuckles finishing up with a quick shadow jab and uppercut.
"I ain't one to be tussled with boys, so step aside and lets see what you got here."
Intimidate: 14+4=18, I also want to ready an action as I am walking over there to smack somebody hard if they make a threatening move. Also, one of us has to be able to speak Spanish I would think, it probably isn't me even though I should have 2 extra languages (I didn't specify in the character write up) with an int of 14. My two extra languages would be whatever Indian tribes I am used to dealing with in the mountains, probably Sioux and another common one, maybe Crow.

As Bear Trap walks towards the wagon, your trained eyes pick up the tell-tale motion of a draw as Deke goes for the pistol at his belt.
ooc: Please roll initiative, evryone. Deke's got some skill with iron, and he will fire on 23.
In terms of positions, the Marshal is about ten feet from where the Mexican, Michael, and Deke are standing. Bear Trap is walking past Deke's left shoulder. The wagon is a good 50 feet further on. The two men near the wagon are still working at the rubble, and the man who was digging off to the side is now leaning on the handle of the shovel and watching events unfold.
D'Artois, Dakota, and Riley are 30 feet back from the Marshal, all with a clear view of the scene.
