Tobias grumbles as he's forced to shoot wildly like some greenhorn. "If we're the cavalry, that is a sorry state of affairs. Well, maybe the surprise will get the men down there to panic and run away." He raises up and takes another pot-shot, hoping to hit something useful.

Doc Vane levels his own Carbine down at the men, he's used to saving lives, not taking them, but he knows where to hit for the most damage. He fires quick and strikes the man in the shoulder knocking him flat with a scream. "I'm down! I'm down!" He then crawls back up to take cover behind some rocks.

The enemy gunslingers fire off, some have .44 revolvers, a few have Carbines themselves. As it stands there is an even number on both sides and everyone is shot at. You have cover from the height, and Penn and Colter are hunkered down behind some rocks. The cowbows fire and move, blasting shots that rip off hunks of rock or leaves nearby. For the moment no one is hit on your side by some miracle.

Penn and Colter pop up and fire down with their own rifles. Both men, embolden by you, strike targets knocking their foes about wounding them and setting them to bleed from pretty good wounds.

Jimmy moves his sights to the wounded man Vane hit, and he squeezes another shot and down he goes with a bullet in the chest. That's one more cowboy never getting back up.

Tobias at a longer range than his pistol likes, fires off as he keeps his head low and misses wide.

Doc Vane a second time...

"I think you lot need to consider, one of us is a doctor with a license," Delton yells out. "At least three of you over there need a patch job. We can help you, but only if you surrender - what'll it be?"

Jimmy looks at the good doctor for a second before looking down his sights again and squeezing the trigger once again. "Doc, I think you over estimate their ability to reason."

The german appears to be intent on wasting all of his ammo, given that his aim isn't exactly impressive. Perhaps it could at least have some sort of morale effect. He knows he doesn't like getting shot at either.

A fire fight is chaos, its crazy. Doc Vane shouts down giving the men a chance to surrender, but they fight on. "Screw you doc! We ain't ywller belly cowards!" They fire back around at the group, shots going wide near your group, but two of them fire on Penn and Colter with good accuracy. Penn dives for cover behind the rocks taking himself out of the hit. Colter goes to do the same but he's hit in the shoulder and tumbles backwards into the dirt calling out, "I'm hit I'm hit!"

Jimmy looks at the doc and then squeeze off a shot into one of the wounded cowboys. Two bullets is one bullet too many for that man's body to take. He is spun around and topples on his back bleeding out dying. The German fires, keeping the pressure up, but missing his target.

That's when the three men left decide they are yeller. The wounded men toss their weapons down, "I give up, I surrender!" The last man, unhurt takes off into the wilds running for his life and is lost in the terrain almost at once.

Doc aims down the sight for the fleeing man, but he's gone before he can think about pulling the trigger. "Seems so," he says to Jimmy. "What a shame. Let's go get their guns. We can still work something out."

Tobias is no doctor, so he trusts the Doc to handle seeing about Colter's shoulder. He instead cautiously walks forward to the surrendering men, his pistol still at the ready. "Now no funny business, you hear? I don't like killing people that don't need it. Explain yourselves. Why did you try to kill us?"

Jimmy makes his way down to the men, he carefully picks up the men guns and puts them in his bag, since both of his companions are keeping the men at bay, Jimmy slinks his rifle over his shoulder. "Anybody got some rope? I think we should keep them around, in case the O'Leary's get any ideas."

The men surrender, they aren't in any shape to resist, especially not with Tobias with his revolver pointed at them so close. One of them spits out some chew and blood, "You boys have a nice little bounty on your head. Guess we didn't scout this place out enough, didn't know you there were here."

Penn comes over, "Doc! Doc! Colter's hit, come help him!" He waves at the rest of you and nods, "These dirty sons of bitches just showed up and started shooting. Good thing Colter was watching the ford or they coulda surrounded is and that would have been it." He has his own weapon at the ready, "We got some rope back at his camp."

You collect the rope and tie them up. They are in bad shape, and bullets left untended could just be the end of them if nothing's done for them.
