Ana waved a stick of butter in the air, muttering an incantation. The butter disappeared and the back corner of the wagon and the grass around it became covered in grease. Normally, they would have said something crass and laughed at the cloaked bandit, but their mind must have been elsewhere in that moment. The bandit in combat with Kesal slipped on the greasy wood and fell on her back. The one fighting Gascon managed to maintain his footing.
The cloaked man swore profusely, "You think you can fucking stab us in the back and live to tell about it? I'll burn this whole shithole to the ground!" He retrieved something from his belt, and threw it into the barn before maneuvering around the opposite side of the fallen cart. There was the sound of glass breaking, followed by a whoosh, and smoke began pouring out of the barn door. From inside, a horse whinnied in terror.

We could if you like, but I think this is one of the few games where metagaming is encouraged. I'd probably even allow leadership if it fit the lore and if I didn't think it'd be a huge headache to figure out how to get an army through a dungeon.
The bandits on the wagon drew their weapons, one of them stepping forward into Kesal's waiting reach. Kesal swung his longsword, but the bandit sidestepped the attack and dove in for her counter. The edge of her short sword found a weakness in Kesal's armor, and the blade bit at Kesal's torso. She laughed gleefully at the sight of blood and cried out, "Too slow!"
The second bandit on the wagon wasn't having as good of a time. His sword shook in his hand as his opponent approached, and he struck out at Gascon too high. Gascon ducked and the sword swung overhead; the bandit growled in frustration.
The bandit on the rooftop drew his short sword as well, just as Odin's arrow whizzed past his head. He chuckled as Odin drew a dagger, and swung out as his opponent closed in. Confident though he was, his blade missed its mark, and the smirk was wiped from his face. He took on a look of intense focus and prepared for the melee that would ensue.
The bandit at the base of the ladder took a step back and nocked an arrow. She took aim at Rosie and let loose the arrow, but her reaction was too swift. Poor aim and a weak draw on the bowstring sent the arrow wide. She spat out a curse and made ready for another attack from the do-gooder.

Ana's arrow met its mark, piercing the rooftop bandit's left arm, just as Rosie's chain ripped the flesh out of her target's shoulder. The two howled out curses and staggered under the blows.
“I’m gonna skin every last one of you!” This from the wounded and enraged man in the cloak. He nocked an arrow with a grunt and aimed it at the one who threw the javelin, but his accomplices on the cart had gotten in the way. He swung around to find the man on the roof with the poor aim. He lifted his bow, aimed, and… gravity shifted, pulling the javelin out of his side. This caused a good deal of pain and threw his aim off at the last moment. By chance, his arrow flew into the side of the horse next to him, prompting both horses to rear up in panic and charge forward.
Without much room to maneuver, the horses cut a sharp turn in the center of the square, throwing the wagon off balance and flipping it over, which in turn pulled the horses to the ground. The cloaked man leapt from his mount but landed awkwardly, injuring himself further in the process.
Standard action to shoot Odin. Attack: Natural 1 Damage to the horse: 10 Reflex Save: 8 Damage to the Cloaked Man: 1
Kesal's javelin landed squarely in the cloaked man's side. Blood poured out of the wound as he shrieked in pain. Odin's arrow whizzed past his head, alerting the other bandits to Odin's presence.
Two bandits clamored onto the wagon while the other two made their way towards Odin. One climbed the ladder leaning against the guest house, while the other drew her bow to cover from the base of the ladder.
