Jakar knew something was wrong almost before he heard Dyllon yelling and swearing. There was no mistaking the subtle twang of arrows being released. He dropped low, cursing himself for his negligence, and nocked an arrow to his bow. Up ahead of him, a halfling burst out of the carriage and charged like a berserker towards what he assumed were their attackers. There were no halflings in their company that he had observed, so he trusted that it was a ploy of Galawayn's, a suspicion confirmed when he saw Sionnie and Jethro preparing to attack under the confusion. 

	Satisfied that his companions in the carriage had the situation up front under control, he quickly scanned their surroundings, trying to discern any signs of the archers hiding in the undergrowth. (Perception 14+2+1)
