Aye, my lord!. Radomir leans back and kicks in the door.
You kick in the door and the whole room turns to look at you. You see the guard who fled earlier talking to tall, slender, dark man dressed in leather and 4 other guards who putting their armor on and gathering up their weapons. An abandoned game of cards and half drunk mugs of ale cover the large table in the room, a clear indication of how they were spending their time before your arrival.
Thaliar, who had covered the rear door while the others aptly dealt with Auch, now joins the others. "Hate to break up your game of cards but we must ask you where we can find your boss, the so called Stag Lord. The man has a bounty on his head." Perhaps some of the bandits would be eager to turn on their commander given this opportunity.
He holds his spear at the ready but does not act yet.
Alexander steps forward into the room. I'd say that any of you that don't fight may leave, but I'm pretty sure none of you will take my offer. However, I do suggest that if you pick up those weapons, don't surrender. He smirks as he delivers his warning. Alexander lifts his sword and shield and readies to attack any enemy that approaches.

Oh indeed! One must decide whether death or hard labor is preferable, are you really that loyal?
Eduard will move to cast Color Spray making sure to hit the tall man and as many other enemies as possible.
Soren moves into the room wordlessly, and studies the man in black leather for a moment, before loosing an arrow at him.
Radomir advances on the nearest of the guards and attacks with abandon.
(29) Eduard casts color spray at the bandits.
The tall dark man in leather seems unaffected, but two of the other bandits caught in it appear to be blinded and stunned.
(24) Andrea questions their loyalty.
(22) Thaliar readies his spear.
(18) Dovan moves up close enough to throw a dagger at Eduard.
(16) Alexander strikes at Dovan, dealing some damage.
(16) Radomir deals damage to the nearest bandit.
(10) Soren misses his target.
(3) Bandits. Two bandits remain stunned, the other two attack. One of Alexander, one on Radomir.
That didn't tickle, Eduard says, grunting and removing the dagger from his side. He will then try to step behind as many of his allies as possible and cast Daze at Dovan.
No takers? Good. Alexander presses the attack, striking at the leader again.

Round 2 Init 24
Andrea starts stabbing bandits
Soren grunts in self disappointment and launches two arrows at the leader this time.

But he doesn't seem affected.

But misses.

Radomir finishes off the bandit that he was facing.
Soren finishes off the leather clad man.
The remaining, unstunned bandit strikes back at Andrea.
I'm going to recommend, again, that you stop fighting. This is embarrassing.
Indeed, stop impaling yourselves on our weapons and drop yours.
RADOMIR STANDS, dripping blood from his bardiche. His cold eyes flare at the bandit from beneath his helm.Drop. your. sword.
Eduard will attempt to cast Acid Splash at Dovan this time.
Round 2 Init 24
Andrea goes after Dovan
Alexander kicks their weapons away and waits for them to recover. So...the choice remains yours. You can fight, or surrender.
Andrea helps disarm them and keep them under guard.
They look at each other, sigh, shrug and raise their hands in surrender.
So where is the Staglord?
Radomir will tie up Dovan, assuming he's still barely alive. If he IS barely alive, Radomir will ask Alexander if he wishes him ended (i.e. Coup de grace)
The guards point in unison to a pair of heave doors in the back of the room. "He is right through those doors.
I will stabilize if that is what is wanted. Andrea does do with her cantrip.
Alexander chuckles darkly, If you must. I'd think he'd prefer to die now than at the end of a noose, but it doesn't matter to me. Radomir, The man nods curtly towards the door. Door. He heads towards the door, hefting his shield and ready to lead the way in.
Radomir nods grimly and heels his master like a dog. At the door, he kicks back once more and grunts with status factions s it collapses. i'll take point, my Lord.
Eduard stands in the back, looking down at himself. I could use some assistance if anyone has some available.
Alexander hesitates a moment and steps back to touch Eduard.
Turning back to Radomir, he grins. I'll take the lead inside. Just need you to make your usual impression on that door. That is, after all, what a shield is for.
Just a momment.
Andrea uses her wand of Infernal Healing on Eduard
Thanks. Shall we? After a minute Eduard prepares to move forward.
Thick layers of animal hides insulate this room’s walls. In one corner rests a ragged bed draped with threadbare silks and thick furs. On the floor, three stout chests serve as furniture, cluttered with
empty liquor bottles. A few more bottles lie scattered about the floor, leaving the room reeking of stale alcohol. A man in a stag's head helmet is standing beside the bed, with bow in hand. The minute that the door open, he fires off a readied shot at the person in the doorway.
Soran takes up his position behind Alexander and raised his bow.
I'm ready. Let's finish this.
Sure in the combat abilities of his companions Thaliar instead ransacked the room the oaf was in. There could be something useful in there and if there was he could probably use it.
As soon as the sound of combat was over he started making his way to the others, stepping over corpses as he went. When Alex insisted that Radomir would step through first he sighed. The Staglord, whatever he was, could not have been an idiot and he was sure to have heard the sound of combat. It would have been a better idea to push either a corpse or one of the two living bandits through first.
His expectation was confirmed the moment an arrow pierced Radomir's skin.
Radomir grunts in pain as the arrow pierced his stomach. He breaks off the shaft
He raises his bardiche and strikes out at the Stag Lord.

Andrea will cast Cause Fear at the Staglord
A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
Frightened is like shaken, except that the creature must flee if possible. Panicked is a more extreme state of fear.
Alexander steps into the room and points his sword at the man, Nice shot. I presume you are finally this Stag Lord we've heard so much about. I certainly hope you've made you peace with whatever god you pray to.
Soren studies his target for a moment, and then lets fly an arrow.
If possible, Eduard will attempt to cast Color Spray into the room and hit the Stag Lord. Otherwise he will draw his crossbow and fire.
"Save yourself the trouble and just lay down so we can kill you nice and easily." Thaliar moves in, spear drawn. Once he is within reach he lashes out, hoping to catch the bastard and draw blood.
Thaliar moves in and barely misses that Stag Lord with his spear.
Andrea casts Cause Fear on the Stag Lord.
