Dariya's first mistake was thinking they could short the Mardu trader on a deal. Their last was not considering the trader would bring backup.
Rulings
If the target creature is an illegal target at the time Salt Road Skirmish tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. However, if the target is still legal and the target isn’t destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you will still create two Warrior tokens.
