Unless someone speaks up in opposition, I'll resolve a short rest tomorrow morning (real time). I'll try to get the sketch of the surroundings too, though it's pretty bare other than the road, mound, and snow covering. You can be thinking about how you want to stage this ambush. With some good stealth rolls and a willingness to get cold you could potentially hide in the snow alongside the road (dig down a little and then have someone cover you up). Saashala and/or Jeffrey could also put on a show in the road or whatever. Between yourselves, fleeing bandits, and horses, there's probably no way to completely hide footprints/hoofprints and the fact that "beings" were around, though the distinctiveness of the mound means that's probably not entirely unusual.
