There's a marker for it....

Your three characters were probably outnumbered, right?  If so, your
fighters engaged two of the opponents, while a third (fourth, fifth, etc.)
charged the mage!  He can try to stay out of combat, but if he doesn't
have a front-line, it'll be difficult!

I'll leave the other questions to the veteran playtesters....
