The two groups would work together to attack the bandits.So, Elrohir fireballed the fort from a distance, from behind the Paladin's camp, so it appeared to be coming from her area. Burr-buggle and his band of followers are watching, ready to lead an assault if the bandits emerge. What they don't know is that Aethelu (the paladin), who had been claiming to be "waiting for the right moment", is also acting tonight. She and her priest and two young paladins will be sneaking down to the shore of the lake at dawn and will complete a ritual summoning a lake-monster.Said lake-monster is supposed to be under Aethelu's control, but what she doesn't realize is that she's being watched by the angry bandits. Their evil druid (the stag-lord's father if anyone knows the module; in my altered version he controls the undead around the Fort) and his minions will attack; if/when Aethelu or either of her paladin-squires are killed, they will probably lose control of the lake-monster, and it will then go on a rampage. So we'll have Bandits vs PCs/NPCs (unsteady allies) vs Paladins vs lake-monster all at the same time. Fun fun fun! And of course, the bandit allies will likely arrive during the mess.</blockquote>
