(Sorry, I wasn't counting this first round as a Surprise round, since the bandits were obviously prepared for combat. Also, I rolled initiative for those that forgot.
)
With a better view of the bandits, the group can see that there are two humans, a dwarf and an elf.
Darrick slashes at Bandit1(purple), wounding him as the bandit runs past before. Darrick then turns and slashes into Bandit3(black).
Bandit1(purple) swings his sword in a tight arc and cuts a furrow into Trebuchet's armored leg.
Charles rapidly moves to face the dwarf(white) and easily slips his spear past the man's guard, cutting him across the ribs.
Bandit2(light blue, elf) draws back his bow and lets forth a mighty shot which strikes Charles square in the chest. Charles gasps as the arrow is buried in his chest. He is still conscious and standing, but the pain is among the most intense he's known.
Kaelan steps forward and slashes at the dwarf, but the dwarf easily knocks the blade aside with his shield, before connecting a blow to Kaelan's left arm with his axe.
Sepoto (init: 14)throws a flask of the alchemist's fire at Bandit3(black) hitting him in the back with the sticky burning substance. The man tried to ignore the fire and continue with his planned assault.
Bandit3(black) joins his partner's assault on Trebuchet and connects with his own strike across Trebuchet's mithral chestplate.
Trebuchet (init: 6) ducks and weaves and manages to get off his spell without being struck. A column of stones batters the dwarf, who staggers a bit.
Catherine's presence seems to have rattled the dwarf, and it's obvious to see in the way he his holding his axe.
