"...How odd. They are riding away, towards the other side... I wonder if they are attacking someone else. Hey, would you girls stay here with the caravan? I'm going to take a quick look", he requested.
If there was no objection, he went after the creatures to see whether they were attacking someone, or just traveling. 3 in Speed to go after them.
6 in Intelligence to assess the situation.

You race to the top of the hill, and see the boars riding towards another unit of goblin boar cavalry.

"...Hmm", he let out thoughtfully, shrugging, before he proceeded to return to the caravan. "They just joined with other goblins, they weren't attacking anybody", he explain as he sat back down. 3 in Speed to get back.

"Nevertheless we should remain on guard. Goblins are a cowardly lot, but they are also opertunists. They won't hesitate to conduct a raid if they think the defenses are weak enough." Azalia said.

"That's okay. We are here to guard, after all, and with five of us, it will be easy for us to have a sentry up the whole night and still all get a good amount of sleep", he said, smiling.

They keep riding as you see a sight up ahead... a massive formation of winged-bison flying in the skies above.

"Do... you guys see what I'm seeing?" he asked, blinking. "Are those things common around here?" he asked, not taking his eyes off of them.

"they are." Azalia said. "Winged Bison are a staple of the city's meat market."

"Oh, okay. Wow", he said, still visibly amazed by the sight akin to how a child would be.

Awhile later you are stopped by a pair of wagons blocking the road.

"Hmm. Seems like a stereotypical ambush to you?" the young man asked, smiling as he got off their wagon to examine the ones blocking the path, looking around for possible bandits or something. 1 in Speed to get to the wagons blocking the way;
7 in Intelligence to look around for possible ambushers.

Sure enough no sooner than the caravan begins to slow down.
a dozen bandits rise up over the hills, and charge down on two fronts. 6 to the left, 6 to the right. All armed with swords, axes, and clubs.

"As expected..." Kosuke said with a smirk... before he nuked the ground in between him and the attacking raiders as a display of his power, a warning, and a promise of more to come if they persisted. "Back off, or else!" he warned. 21 (Sup-Ef) in Black Magic (Firaga) +3 from Targeting, into two 11/11 stones blast aimed at the ground between me and the bandits on both sides; 2 using Create/Manipulate to quickly extinguish whatever catches on fire afterwards.
7 in Social Skills (Intimidate) to get the bandits to back the hell off.

You drive them back as they recoil to safer ground now unsure if this is worth it.

"Just so you know... this attack just now was far from my full power. Leave this caravan alone and live longer... or, you know, resume attacking us and my next spell won't be aimed at the grass", he warned. Reusing my Social Stones again to further drive the point in.
