OOC:
I've looked it up, and I think that's a house rule that some DM's use. There may be a rogue skill that gives it, but I think RAW, you don't get advantage for surprise.

Feeling the chill of a spectral hand is enough for one of the bandits to let out a high pitch screech before quickly regaining his composure.

"Chute! Where the hell are you?"
OOC:
As far as "surprised" goes, I've basically replace the RAW with "everyone gets a free, unhindered turn" to help keep the pace with the forum based play. Gerbo could have claimed advantage for being hidden in the woods though - not that the outcome would change.

Start of Round 1!!

Round 1
Karma, Kerisha, Gerbo, Belanor (any order)
RBR2, RBR1
Orel

Seeing the closest dude to the entrance fall and another to a double team from Gerbo and Kerisha, Karma turns his attention to the one whom just gave out a squeal. He steps towards RBR2 swing his Warhammer towards the human.
OOC:
Whoops fat fingers with miss type on 2d20.

Pulling another arrow before shifting his aim to the loud one he sees Karma engage, he let's loose another arrow. "Try to leave one alive!" He yells out to his comrades, hoping to gain some information before venturing into the cave.

Moving into the fray Karma lets loose with a big swing of his hammer but telegraphs his intention a little too soon. The bandit sidesteps just in time to avoid any damage but, unfortunately for him, ends up in Gerbo's line of fire.

The arrow strikes the man in the side of the thight, just below the hip. He yells out in pain, but is somehow able to stay on his feet, sword still ready to attack.
OOC:
Kerisha and Belanor can act.
Round 1
Karma, Kerisha, Gerbo, Belanor (any order)
RBR2 (engaged with Karma),

After skewering her first target, Kerisha continues her charge past the squealing bandit to the last one fully standing.

Her bear like anger still raging, she cleaves with her greatsword, showing no mercy as her blade tastes flesh and blood once more.
OOC:
Attacking RBR1

Eyes wide with fear, Kerisha's target does his best to brace for the attack, but his efforts prove futile. The greatsword easily brushes away the bandit's weapon that was thrust forward in defense and cuts deep into the man's shoulder, rendering his off arm useless.

Despite the wound the man stands firm, his hand tightening around the hilt of his blade.
OOC:
Belanor to act.

Round 1
Karma, Kerisha, Gerbo, Belanor (any order)
RBR2 (engaged with Karma),
RBR1 (engaged with Kerisha).

OOC:
oh... gee.. umm... I'll hold then? Firebolt to the missing dood when it shows up? Like i don't want to take Kerisha's kill, she'll attack me XD
Action: Hold Firebolt.
Trigger: Brigand shows up.

Belanor will step out of the brush holding his hands up as if he surrenders. Though more for show than anything. He keeps an eye around the hill for their missing friend.

Rolls

Fire bolt(upon triggr) - (1d20+5)

(3) + 5 = 8

Fire bolt damage - (1d10)

(6) = 6

Both of the wounded bandits decide that descrition is the better part of valor and do what they can to disengage and run.
OOC:
Orel to act.

Round 1
Karma, Kerisha, Gerbo, Belanor (any order)
RBR2, RBR1 (Both are roughly 30' away, having disengaged, and running towards town).

Do we waste time chasing, dwarf legs are not made for it :)

OOC:
I would say no but meta knowledge tells me that one.
It would be safe to assume they have a friend(s) or possibly another entrance they may be going though to either hide and/or prepare for when we go though this entrance.

My next spell for you then, Expeditious Retreat :D next lvl :D

Orel runs after the bandits (30' move speed), lunging out at RBR1 and slashing at the back of his legs with the tip of his sword.
OOC:
Aiming to incapacitate, not kill.

Also, if it's alright with the DM, I'm alright with you starting the next turn without me if it's still a "player phase" so to speak (although if you have something planned for the top of the round obviously that doesn't work, lol)

Longsword - (1d20+5)

Karma reaches down into his gut for some negative energies unleashes the rage of nature in the form of a drop bear upon the bandit Orel is not attacking.
OOC:
Movement: move closer to running bandits by 15ft
Action: Toll the Dead on RBR2

Rolls

Damage - (1d12)

(10) = 10

Kerisha is relentless. Her rage still burning deep inside her, she sets off after the retreating bandits. Like a wolf she tracks him down a strikes out to finish him off.
OOC:
Attacking the one that ran from her, not the one Orel is trying to capture. If Karma has already finished him then disregard this post

Rolls

Greatsword (Rage) - (1d20+4)

(17) + 4 = 21

Greatsword (Rage) damage - (2d6+4)

(53) + 4 = 12

Timing his swing to perfection Orel catches the bandit in the back of the right thigh, slicing into the hamstring. With a screech the bandit sprawls forward onto the ground, his weapon landing a good six feet ahead of him.

While the ringing of Karma's bells seem to have no effect on the last man, Kerisha's sword is another matter. The bandit doesn't stand a chance and is cut down in mid stride.
OOC:
The area is clear of danger for now.
RBR1 is on his back on the ground, clutching at the back of his thigh.

new achievement unlocked: when playing a moon druid. just jump from a place and shapeshift into a bear landing on the target!
"I think that could have gone much worse" Belanor says to Gerbo as he strides up to the entrance placing his hands on his head.

"You don't think their friend would show up in a different direction do you?"
