Zariana twists liquid blue magics with her hands causing a shimmering blue hand to manifest under the belly of one of the charging horses. With a quick flick of the wrist she begins undoing the straps on the rider's saddle.

OOC:
This is a great idea, however, the nearest horse is currently 60 ft. behind you. The problem is that the way chase mechanics work, the target will be left behind, then catch up to you, then be left behind again, then catch up again... This makes using a spell where you must remain within 30 ft of the target at all time a bit difficult. Sadly, the current situation will require a different action, but I do love when players come up with creative solution like that, so I hope this minor setback will not discourage you from coming up with clever ideas like that in the future. Ugost is currently looking for someone else to take up the reins, so perhaps that could be an option?

Awwww dagnabbit…
Zariana fires off a firebolt at the closest rider before climbing into the front seat. "I hope you know what you’re doing." The pale woman says, "I’ve never driven a wagon before," she makes a face, "at least I don’t think I have."
[ +- ] Firebolt.

Zariana shoots a magical bolt but misses the nearest rider. She then takes the reins (which means the wagon will now move at her initiative, and controlling the wagon will now require Zariana's bonus action). Scarfs gets ready to... do something... and then Garbuffel hits teh nearest gard for 5 points of damage, making him bloodied.

The guards then catch up to you...
OOC:
I'll wait for Scarfs to make up her mind on what she wants to do with her readied action before I resolve the guards' actions.

Scarfs on the move.

Unmarked dice roll. - (1d20)

OOC:
What is this roll for?
Edit: Okay, well jumping on another horse would require jumping which falls into Athletics. Since you're using you agile circus nimbleness, you can add your DEX mod to your roll... which is high enough to succeed anyways, so you're on the guard's horse, riding behind him.

The guards were not expecting you to jump, so they won't do anything to stop you. They'll simply continue doing what they did last round. The remaining guard up front will attempt to attack the driver, Zariana, and the two guards further back will attempt to attack your wagon in order to damage it enough to force you to stop.
OOC:
Wow, that RNG. Super high attack rolls, minimum damage each time. XD
Zariana takes 1 point of piercing damage, and your wagon takes 2 points of piercing damage... Guess Scarfs jumping on their horse did distract them a bit...

Your wagon is huge, it has AC 12 and 60/80 HP. It has the "drawn" special ability which means it is pulled by Rummynose, which grants it a speed of 40 ft.

On initiative 20, your wagon's momentum makes it move 20 ft.

Zaiashi is up first!

Scarfs had fantasized with it would be like to ride a horse. She had seen many of the fancy riders showing off in the circus. But as a little girl she once tried to feed a horse an apple and it snapped at her (the apple) and scared her so much she never has dealt with horses again. And now, OMG she is riding second on one.

Scarfs can't see the party's faces but she can image the surprise as much as the man on the horse.
OOC:
Looks like she got a nice pinto one. :)
Hope some of the party got to see her leap into the air and doing a tuck move followed by a full layout to drop right behind that rider. The horse's name is now "Pinto". :) Hopefully she can keep it and on it. Wonder if there are any apples in the cart.

Zaiashi is getting slightly flustered and a little irritated that he has to keep watching out to not get hit by Garbuffel swinging his sling.
Watch out, man he yells as he tries yet again to conjure a sacred flame and throw it a the horse of guard 3
OOC:
Spell DC is 13, no wisdom mod on this one, right?

"You know you could just pretend you didn't see us right?" Zariana shouts at the pursuing riders as she conjures yet another fire bolt liquid flames swirling about her hand and tosses it at the closest rider.
[ +- ] Firebolt.

Yes. The horse succeeded its save and has taken no damage.

@Psybermagi. It's been established that you handed off the reins to Zariana. She is now driving the wagon. You will need to select another action.

Ugost flows out of the wagons seat to the back of the wagon and pulls out his whip to lay at the wounded rider.

Scarfs tries to throw the surprised rider off the horse so she can take control of the beast. She throws all her weight and muscle at him. It is a so so attempt from her position behind him.

You don't need to roll Scarfs. The guard simply must succeed at a STR Saving throw against your maneuver DC. While I can't find your maneuver DC on your character sheet, the roll was so high anyways that the guard succeeded anyways.

Garbuffel is up next!

"Hahah! Got you you dinged blighter!" Garbuffel cheered as his shot landed. He then tried to follow up with another bullet, but it want wide.
"Aww fisspotters!"

With Scarfs riding one of their horse, the guards will try something different. One guard will attack the driver, one guard will try and damage your wagon, and the last guard will attempt to attack Scarfs. All attacks fail, except the one on the wagon which inflicts another 3 points of damage. Your wagon is getting nickled and dimed here, you need to do something about it...

Pretty much only bedrolls and your fellow party members...
