The enchanted guardian hacks down a forester.
After dispatching the last desert leaper, the other mages move to join her.
The phalanx splits in two to cover either flank.
The ambushers open fire. One heavy lancer falls.
The other is smashed down.
"You should not have hurt my racial sensibilities!" Nazlam bellows.
He hits Ximena so hard it knocks her out of her sandals and sends her flying (successful attack, failed parry and successful feat).
She is sent sailing far, far away...
Falx - TheVengefulOne
The foresters shoot at the enchanted guardian. Both hit, but one arrow is deflected. The lancer misses his attack on her.
Lord Godfrey - ninja-bait
Godfrey zips over to the remaining foresters and has his horses perform a spinning kick, cutting both of them in half.
Rolys the Daring - Brikguy
Rolys kills the last Falx on the field with an expertly aimed shot.
The survivors gather on either side of the oasis, the remaining tension between them made visible by the difficult terrain. The Magus Guild has evidently taken higher casualties and realize they can't afford more losses. Nazlam sees that there are powerful individuals on the other side of the oasis that could very easily compromise his mission here, or perhaps even wipe out his war band.
"Now tell us, what you are doing here, mages! You would hunt us this far?!" Nazlam says.
"We are not here for you. The Crimson Crusade's intent is to stop further Falx invasions into the kingdom, by any means necessary," the royal mage answers.
"I see... we will make a deal, then! Let us gather water from the oasis for our tribe, and we shall leave you in peace!" Nazlam says.
"Agreed," the royal mage says. "Now let's inform Queen Lara we've captured the oasis, so she can send reinforcements here before more Falx arrive."
The Bulls and Crimson Crusade are victorious! However, not very far away...
"Hmmmffgghhh!"
"Pfhe pfhe! Damn you, Bulls... pfhe! I will have my vengeance!"

That was 'Might and Magic', hope you enjoyed!
I tried to make the teams equal again, but I think I underestimated the Falx's spread out position and the royal mage's SN d10's. Of course, a couple different dice rolls, and it might have been a whole different story. In hindsight, I do think maybe I should've let the Falx go second, instead of third in the turn order.
I think it was won by Lord Godfrey's X-treme equestrian talents, of course. Hope his split riding style gets kanonized. 
Love how you did the pose with her head stuck in the sand!
