5, +2 for Dex, for a total of 7
Silverwind draws an arrow form his quiver and nocks it to his bow. "Time to die, spawn of Naar!"

Hey everyone! Looks like I got back in a nick of time! 
Rolled 19 for initiative, +4 Dex = 23.
Moon's Brand stands upon the top of the wagon, careful to remain out of the way of Jesabela as she douses the fire. Deftly stringing her bow and training an arrow upon the nearest visible opponent with a ranged weapon, she makes note of the Kraan's flight path. East. . . Why are they flying east? With no time to consider the implications of her observation, she files the thought away for later discussion with her comrades.
If there are no opponents in sight with ranged weapons, she will fire at the nearest Giak.

Hurriedly, Jesabela casts her eyes about. Seeing what she is about, Zane tosses her his waterskin as he leaps off the wagon and she douses the flames with that. Moon's Brand draws an arrow back and lets it fly. It hits one of the Giaks directly in the throat, and it goes down with a gurgling scream.
One of the Giaks closes with Dark Hawk, and hits him in the shoulder with his jagged Darklands blade. Dark Hawk retaliates, sinking his blade into the Giak's belly. With a thunderous boom, Hoagar blasts at the Giak running towards him, but misses.
A Giak closes with Silver Wind and attempts to stab him, but misses. With a massive roar, Shof jumps out of the wagon, chopping at the Giak that just missed the Kai Lord. The Giak falls, its skull cleft by the Durncragsmen's axe. Asojar runs at another Giak, skewering it on his sword. Another Giak runs at the wagon and Jesabela, but is caught with a glancing blow from one of Zane's arrows.
The Giak Hoagar fired at leaps at the dwarf but, didoriented by the booming of the gun, it fails to hit. Silver Wind shoots an arrow at the remaining Giaks, but misses.

We don't have to roll for Initiative every round, do we? In case we do, I'd have to announce an unhappy 3 (i.e. INI of 7) ...
All right, assuming that the flames have died last round:
Jesabela whirls around, whips out a dagger and throws it at the Giak running at her.
Rolled a 12 for the attack; +6 for Ranged Combat Skill makes an 18 of that! ... Drawing the dagger and throwing it is possible in one round, isn't it?
Oh, and thanks for the trust!

Cursing the fact that there must be a slight breeze throwing his aim off, Silver Wind follows Hoagar's example, dropping his bow and drawing his short sword.
Paido, you are fine, Initiative is only rolled at the start of combat.
I agree with Krug that the DM should roll during combat, but in case you still want to go with us doing it I rolled 14 to hit and 3 damage.

Knocking another arrow, Moon's Brand swiftly lets fly at the uninjured Giak, trying to keep it from her fellows, unless there is a closer Giak threatening her.
May have missed this time; I rolled a 7, plus 1 for the bow, 4 for Dex, and 2 for CS comes to 14. I'm not sure what the Giak's AC is, but if I did hit, I do only 2 points of damage to it: I rolled a 1, +1 for the Mastercraft bow.
Edit: I'll third the suggestion made by Paido and Eternalknight. Besides, my character was fighting better when Andrew was rolling for me! Again, thanks for the trust, though!
If the combat ends after this round, Moon's Brand will try to salvage or find some arrows; wouldn't want to run out!
Also, two questions: do we know if these are Swamp or Mountain Giaks, and what kind of riders did we see on the Kraan as they flew away?

Jesabela whips a dagger at the Giak running towards her, and catches a glancing blow on its upper arm. Black blood oozes out, and it stops momentarily. Moon's Brand, meanwhile, shoots another arrow, which carves a furrow out of the side of a Giak's head. It shrieks and runs towards her, brandishing its sword. Another Giak chops at Dark Hawk and connects, and Dark Hawk retaliates with his blade, only to miss.
Hoagar grunts and puts down his gun, leaping at the Giak which was attacking him, felling it with his Drodarin axe. Shof chops at a Giak, missing. As one falls, Asojar whirls back and slices at another, missing. The Giak at the wagon attempts to hit Jesabela with its sword, but the pirate dodges out of the way and its blade sinks into the wood. Zane reaches into his quiver, but then seeing that all the Giaks are in melee, decides against it. He draws a short sword and runs towards the wagon.
Meanwhile, Silver Wind dives at the Giak in the wagon and opens a ghastly wound in its shoulder. It screams as black blood comes out of the wound.

If you guys would rather I roll, I will, no problem.
Relenoir: I'm honestly not sure what the difference in Giaks is. I'm assuming they're whatever type Lone Wolf encounters more frequently. As to riders, you can really only tell that they're man-sized, and bigger than Giaks. Possibly Vordaks or Drakkar.
