Well, I'm not Telsar, but I shall try to tell you where the bandits are nevertheless.
Sorry about that, quick posting and got the DM's crossed...

You have the road. Trees on either side. There are 9 bandits left out of 15.
Six bandits are in trees sniping, three on either side of the road. Three archers on the ground with some cover behind tree trunks. Two of these are on the left, and one on the right. There are plenty of other trees and brush to hide behind out of the bandits' immediate area if you care to hide and snipe.
Hide and Snipe...sounds like a plan to me!!! Plus with my modifiers, and some decent rolls, almost impossible to find... What side of the road is Ashlie on and what side of the road is Zafira on? I was leaning towards having cahrged the bandits opposite of Zafira, so that we could clean up while moving forward.
I see Ashlie as clutching near a tree base where the 2 bandits are dead, holding her side, as blood pours forth. She darts her eyes around the trunk, and spies the next bandit, either an archer on ground, or a sniper in the tree, it doesn't matter. She will ready an arrow and let it loose when the bandit shows him/herself. With Shilo looking at her in concern, seeing the blood dripping down her side, running down her leg, he whines a little, but then spies the next bandit as well, growling menacingly, awaiting the order to attack. Or will this be another cat and mouse tactic that they so lovingly enjoyed in the past, where they would sneak up on the enemy, and punce on him before he knew what happened?
Earth Hammer, seeing the man motionless at his base, snorts roughly, as if giving a large "Hummph", saying 'That will teeach you!'. He looks around, his master now near the tree, and arrows flying everywhere. Still stout in battle, he trots nearer to the tree, incase his master would have need of him again.

Animal allies are allies too, so they get the bonuses.
And thank you for the compliments on the action!
Since we now know the animals have the bonuses, it's time to use them!!!
