Madeline and her raiders were mostly prepared and motivated for the attack

Madeline had prepared as best she could and her Powder Gangers were mostly eager, besides a few naysayers. They did as she commanded with only a few minor hick ups. When the Powder Gangers launched their attack on the unsuspecting Caravan they were able to secure most of the loot with few people escaping their clutches. It wasn't an easy fight. But it was successful. Madeline took her share of the loot, and her men respected her even more.

Back at the Powder Gangers base her renown would grow.
