Asterisks are for those who are done, we are waiting for Fizz and Vik to tell me their actions. Then on to round 2, feel free to post round 2 actions now.
Also please move your horses and personal placement now. Though from your posts I think it be pretty accurate, unless Alexandra wants to move in behind the bandits from the way they came from.
round 1
Fizzy stands and casts dancing lights over vik.
round 2
Fizzy moves behind vik and begins to the bandit that vik moves to engage.
Vik steps forward and makes a dazzling display of his swordsmanship before bearing down on the closest bandit.
Intimidate:
Rekka starts her scamper towards the two bandits, attempting to be quiet.
From thirty feet away, Alexandra takes a five foot move diagonal and then cast Reach Shocking Grasp. As she speaks her words of incantation lighting arcs from her fingertips to strike at the bandits.
I get another +4 if they wear metal armor.
Damage
Captain Stonefire and the twins will then ride out after Fionn but as I believe only one of them will really have room to strike the captain will ride out to them.
The twins will hold their action until more enemies become present

"Hah! Is that all you one-livered panzies got?" Baern yells after getting wacked upside the head with a club. He steps back, aims the crossbow at his attackers.. and suddenly then shoots upwards into the air, grinning at his opponents whom he tricked into thinking he was about to attack them.
He then drops the crossbow and equips his shield, "What, you thought a Dwarf would bring a crossbow to a melee?"
___________________________________________
Vik simply stands his ground as he watches the 2 bandits run.
The boys on horseback can catch them, no need to go running after them in the dark
ooo sorry, was phone posting and did not read well I aplogize DM!
Round 2
Fizzy calls out to one of the Bandits What is brown and sticky?...A STICK
Lady Ravenstein will shout out before she casts in that case, "Surrender ser, we have horses and magic on our side, to flee would be death. Drop your blade and I can promise you will be treated honorably."
Captain Stonefire will give chase if he tries to flee, though the slew of attacks of Opportunity that would provoke if he just full on runs may mean it doesn't matter. If he withdraws however I'm pretty sure Captain Stonefire can double move his horse and overtake him still as will the Twins.
That was a good one.
Fizzy walks over to the bandit, safely behind the bigger types.
Waffles to celebrate?
"I'm afraid he is right, these two are a minor concern but there may be more watching for them and they will certainly be missed. Besides, our signal will not have gone amiss. Tell us, is your vile mistress still in her bed or is she out raiding more innocent farmlands and killing other merchants?" Alexandra walks forward and scowls, a vile look in her eyes which she will make clear by casting light on her Necklace.
Rekka's rat-nose appears in the dark to join the circle around the living guy with the others. She doesn't say anything, though, just observes, whiskers quivering.

"She, she, she would still be abed, she only goes out to prey during the day."
I am going to assume you will ask him how many are in the camp, but please ask any more questions. Will you continue now to the north side of the bandit camp? If you sneak, checks will be required, please think of tactics.
"There are about two dozen in the camp, maybe less due to patrols being sent out, we were one of the less liked fellows in the camp. We were sent out first, but we just like coming out this far, not too dangerous, just looking for an easy score, we weren't anygood at it anyway." You can tell that he is very nervous and is rambling.
"The Sly help? The Sly kill? The Sly be sly and creep and kill? The Sly eat man flesh?"?
Rekka wriggles her nose. "Where are the others patrolling?"
How can we get her alone?

"The patrols, the other patrols are set around the camp, North mostly, typically split between the two dozen half go out, though it is night and only one or two groups may have chosen to go out. We were new to this group, and needed to show our worth, we still have not stolen from anyone but from a dead body. It is all strange and glowing, but we took the items that did not touch the corpse, we did not tell her about it, thinking we could loot some more if needed. ... Get her alone, are you crazy you don't want to be with her alone, she would likely cut off your ears and have you eat them as she would to kiss you and bind you for the night, she is crazy. " You can tell he is very frazzled, possibly going to faint from hyperventilating, considering he is seeing his friend being covered. The other poor sod, is DEAD, with a lance impaled upon his chest, either lung or heart was impaled if not both, though it would have been rather quick.
"Sly useful?! Sly go quietly now by self or with other sneakies?"
"Maybe we should go find the other patrols." But Rekka is now curious about something else. "A glowing body? Where?" Curious rat is curious.
Vik steps up beside the little ratgirl and adds his question about the glowing body as well.
"Indeed! Where is this glowing body and what did you take from it?"
Patrols would be a good idea... Fizzy says though his mind is beginning to wander.
Alexandra will speak up, "Thank you for your candid answers, they are most appreciated. We will need to take down their patrols first, limit their numbers and we should do so fast. Sly, I don't think the rest of us are very sneaky, so for now go out and see if you can find the first group. Don't kill them unless you are sure you can kill them all, otherwise come back and tell us exactly where they are and how many there are." She'll then turn and pull Viklop aside.
After a moment she returns, "I believe after Sly locates the first patrol we'll need to distract them and move them away from the camp. I'll serve as bait this time, though I'll need a good partner. Fizzy, care to pretend to assault me? I feel like it may get their attention and which point Fionn and Captain Stonefire will cut off their escape and we'll take them down."
Would I?! Of course lady. Captain, Fuzzhealer...I am counting on both of you. For each success you have I will add one tier to the cake I plan to make when we return...or if the gods are good and I find some fruit, I will make a different pie for each success.
Fizzy look out into the night wistfully...
Vik looks over to Rekka and grins.
"Ok, looks like you are with me. Just think if we do a good job Fizz will bake us a cake. Do we need any more incentive?" he chuckles.
He looks over at the bandit, then whispers into Rekka's ear,
"Do you have any way of knocking this fellow out without killing him? I am not actually skilled at such things, and am afraid I might damage the poor bugger if I try."

I'll take care of knocking him out without killing him..
Baern walks over to the bandit, takes his helmet off, leans close to the bandit, before rearing his head back and headbutting him. Numerous times, if needed.
"Thar ye go. That'll keep him out for a few hours at least."
______________________________
Fizzy watches the first headbutt, then gets excited.
Fizzy pulls out his whip and whips the bandit.
for
Fizzy starts to whip in cadence so he is playing a song.
Fizzy stops and laughs at the silliness of it all.
So when do we make waffles?
"Just clock him with your hilt, I don't know! If I could knock people out myself I would have a great deal more gold to my name." Alexandra grimaces at the fellow and shakes her head. "He's unarmed and out-numbered, if you have qualms containing him in that manner you best make it an entertaining duel."
"The staff and body maybe a detour worth our time, but I don't believe that it is a necessary venture now. We're officially on a time schedule and I believe that it is imperative we know more about what we face. Sly, get a head start on us and sneak out there. Once we know where the first group is we'll draw them away and handle them."

A stern look come over Vik's face as Alexandra chastises him.
"MY lady! Perhaps you are use to dealing with thugs and such, but a Swordlord does not 'clock him with the hilt'! A little respect and decorum, I think, would be in order. I am not one of your lackeys!"
He turns and heads in the direction of the boulder and the glowing corpse, looking behind him and calling to Rekka,
"You coming?"
Then stomping his way out of the camp and into the night.
"Hmpf!" Alexandra intones loudly and turns away, "So much for an organized plan, apparently we're all running off in different directions. Very well, Fizzy, you command your fellows and I shall lead mine, then let us handle the next patrol." She then sits down waiting for Sly to return with his reconnaissance report.
But what about our assault?
Lets get the shiny body!
Rekka chitters at Vik, shaking her head ... But the bandit has been taken care of. She wriggles her nose, trying to decide what is more useful to do ... But since she's the fuzz healer she opts for following Fizzy and Vik, hurrying along but still slow.
