Two wagons carrying two farming families have been attacked, first by bandits and then by rhodin raiders. All three groups have suffered casualties and the farmers would be overcome if the bandits and raiders weren't attacking each other. They are all behind some cover and shooting each other with ranged attacks. There's a good chance that the PCs will encounter this without any of them noticing them, which gives them some time to think about what they want to do.If they take on both sides at the same time or join the farmers, it will be a difficult or overwhelming challenge since the bandits and raiders will stop attacking each other to attack the PCs.If the PCs join one side, they will warily accept the assistance of their "allies" and focus their attacks on the other side.So much more interesting than your typical "It's trying to kill me, so I must kill it first" scenario.</blockquote>
