Catherine moves to get closer to the tunnel, trying to hear if there are any more bandits in the area.

[sblock]
Catherine move will depend on which bandits are still present when her turn comes up.
If Bandit 10 is still alive, Catherine will move to M4 by way of O5. If Bandit 10 is dead, she will move to M2.
Listen 22
Figures I get the natural 20 on a listen check. :p

"You're not worth the edge of my blade," Darrick says coldly, as he advances upon his foe. "You're barely worthy of my time at all, frankly."

[sblock]5' step forward towards Bandit 1 and attempts to subdue him. 23 to hit, 9 points of non-lethal damage. Current AC is 20; he would have had to put his shield aside for his pitiful attempt at deception. [/sblock]
 

"You are most assuredly worth mine!" Trebuchet exclaims gleefully. "Fire Evocation, stage two. Targets locked!"

His right hand snicks back into his arm, and a ball of fire roars out swerving around Treb's allies to hurtle straight at one of the bandits!

(Flaming Sphere!)
 

Sepoto adjusts his balance after his near miss, and fades suddenly from view. In one graceful motion, the shifter attempts to somersault backward and behind the bandit, coming upright, but loose rubble impedes his attempt. Undaunted, kukri in hand, he slashes in an uppercut fashion at the bandit's side.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will use Ghost Step (Swift Action) and fade from view, tumbling through the bandits square (DC 25) Tumble Check = 17 (Failure) , trying to end his move in L2 to cut off the bandit's retreat. He follows this with an attack while invisible upon Bandit #2 after failing to pass through his square:
Kukri Attack = 24
Kukri Damage = 2
Sudden Strike Damage = 8 [/SBLOCK]
 

(I'm just going to use Charles' rolls from last round this time, if that's ok.)
Charles stabbed his spear towards Bandit2, but the bandit is able to dance out of the way.

Darrick strides forward towards Bandit1, and hits him with the flat of his blade. The bandit is clocked across the face, and he crumples to the ground. He is still breathing, but he is obviously out cold.

Trebuchet flings a flaming sphere over the prone opponent and towards Bandit2. The bandit is engulfed by the flames, and falls to his knees, choking. The man is still conscious, but barely. From the ground he speaks. "Aye, spare me, please. It ain't worth dying for, this gang."

With both opponents on the ground, the group keeps their weapons out, and they are cautious.

Catherine moves toward the entrance of the ruin, and she is alarmed when she hears the sound of running feet. The sound heads away from the door, however. Then she hears a strange series of bells, and realizes that an alarm must have been put out.

(I am assuming that Sepoto would not kill the surrendering opponent. If I am mistaken, please let me know and I will adjust the closing combat accordingly.)
 

(You assumed correctly Pebele. Everyone else, it might be a good time to plan our next course of action. Two thoughts come to mind: take hostages to interrogate and beat a temporary retreat, or stand out ground and face the remaining bandits?)
 

[sblock]Hmmm, I guess it counts on how many bandits they are.[/sblock]

Charles looks on the defeated bandits with a furious, dangerous look, and shouts: How many are there?! How many people are here; how many are coming for us?!
 

Catherine grabs one of the bandits by the arms and starts dragging him away from the tunnel entrance. "Someone grab the other one, prisoners are of no use if they get trampled!"
 

The bandit that Darrick knocked out is still unconscious. The other looks between Catherine and Charles, focusing on Charles after his outburst. "Aye, I don't know exactly how many are inside now. Janus doesn't tell us everyone's plans. Only he knows. Marx and I ran out here, we left Dusty inside. He be calling for help I'm sure. At least another patrol of three will hear the signal. Maybe two." He takes a deep breath and winces in pain.
