"I'm quite uneasy sending him off alone, feel as if we should have accompanied him." Murmuring all most more to herself than the other's. "Figures I'd let my pride get the better of me, I definitely should have fallen back sooner and let you boys show me how it's done." Sage nod, fingers delicately dabbing at the wounds that she was now in the process of bandaging.
 

A few minutes after Eldrago entered the mine, and as the three other members of the party are spread out around the cave rubble clearing the bodies and horses, Moravec, Massif, and Leona hear footsetops coming from the mine; they sound like more than one pair. Three figures emerge from the mine entrance. They are all wearing the cloaks and chainmail of the bandits. One standing between the others, you recognize as Eldrago. The other two look on the three adventurers with acute confusion....

Initiative Surprise Round: Massif (17), Eldrago (15), Leona (13), Moravec (2). Eldrago is immediatly adjectent to both bandits. Everyone else is assumed to be 20ft away from either bandit or Eldrago and are unaware. The bandits are unaware.

Eldrago, having surreptitiously armed himself (sleight of hand?) during the dark walk to the bright entrance, strikes out at the right-hand bandit, before stepping back (5-foot step) to block the entrance to the cave.

[OoC: +0 to hit vs one flat-footed, 1d6 damage +1d6 sneak attack (hopefully non-undead, non-construct, non-ooze)]

"Leona, Massif! Fresh meat!"

HP: 9/15 // AC: 16 (18-2 charge)

The dwarf looks up as the three bandits exit the cave, and when he sees Eldrago in the center of the other two, he smiles to himself. Heh heh... there you go, Eldrago! Bring those idiots out to us!

As soon as he is able to spring to action, Massif immediately charges the bandit on Eldrago's right... pulling his axe from his belt and swinging wide. "Time to join your idiot brethren! Next time don't be so stupid as to waylay the caravan of an important man!"

**********

OOC: Charge attack on bandit on Eldrago's right. (Attack 3+2 for charge = +5 to hit // Dam 1d10+3 + 1d8 for Powerful Charge)
 

Massif's axe slams through the chainmail of the bandit, throwing him back into the mouth of the cave. Eldrago's blade darts into the other rogue, but is unable to pierce his armor of the surprised cad.

Leona is up and 10ft from the action. One down, one to go.

Leona spots Eldrago in the midst of the bandits, and as much as she would like to jump into the mix.. the badly hurt shifter actually lays low. Attempting to hide.
 

Moravec pulls his sling from his belt, his mind working. If they could take the last bandit alive, they might be able to quickly find out any details about how to find their target if he wasn't here. Loading a bullet, he whirled the weapon above his head and launched the missile at the bandit, hoping to do no more than stun the man.

OOC: Drawing and attacking w/sling (+1 ranged, 1d4)

The bullet flies towards the bandit's face, knocking him directly in the forehead (critical). He grasps his head in pain.

Initiative: Massif, Eldrago, Bandit, Leona, Moravec. Same positions. So close to knocking him out....
