milo you have the eye also. Trust YOurself..
Milo action, then Quinray, then bandit.
Milo grabs his longbow and fires off an arrow hoping to eliminate the threat before he can alert his companions.
Erastil guide my shot
After firing shot. Quietly yet urgently Take cover Sniper in the trees.
Milo's shot goes wide but Quinray manages to wound the bandit who shouts out, "Intruders, at least five of them!"
The bandit fires back obviously hampered by his wound.
party action
Kentaur will fire his crossbow at the sniper
Sure.
The shot still misses, its just really close this time.
Kentaur is the only one to post an action this round, anyone else doing anything?
Scan forest for other beings. If I see someone coming my way I will shoot them, (is sniper dead?). otherwise fire at the sniper. Find a good shooting vantage point.
If the bandit is still up after Kentaur and Quinray shoot Milo will fire an arrow at him, otherwise readied action to fire an arrow at the next bandit to show their face.
Add +2/+2 if the target is human.
Milo tries to stay near Quinray and looks to make sure their backs are as secure as possible.
Tirnel looks at the direction everyone is firing, That's a long shot... and tries to stay close to Kentaur and Ibram readying his bow and spells.
If a single bandit appears Tirnel will fire an arrow unless it's within 30' then he will Daze (DC 16 Will).
If a large group appears he will attempt to grease once they are within 30', catching as many in the 10' square area as possible. DC 16 Reflex.

Ibram?
[dice=crit damage]2d8
Add 4 more if it's a human target.
Javelin in hand, ready to huck...
Kentaur, Quinray and Milo turn the bandit on the platform into a human pincushion with Milo's arrow taking the man through an eye. His body slumps over, partially hanging off the platform.
Quinray indicates that he thinks he heard movement of others somewhere through the trees ahead. But everything seems quiet after the arrows stop flying.
party action
Move forward cautiously, arrow nocked.
Anyone else moving forward with Quinray?
Ibram and Kentaur will both move up.
Javelin and crossbow ready.
Hsssst! Quinray stop...you could be advancing straight into an ambush...
Milo tries to shrink into the brush and wait for a clear shot at a bandit.
Readied action shoot arrow at bandit
+2/+2 if human
Seeing Quinray and the rest move forward Tirnel quickly casts message on the half-elf before he disappears into the cover.
I must say that advancing into unknown dangers seems most ill-advised Quinray. Perhaps we should pull back and face the foe on ground of our choosing versus their familiar camp area. Fight on our terms, not theirs.
Tirnel is ready with a bow shot or daze just in case.
While Milo and Tirnel stay behind seeking cover in the forest, Quinray moves forward followed by Ibram and Kentaur.
Unfortunately, Quinray fails to spot the pit trap beneath him and tumbles 20' down to the bottom taking 4 points of damage.
Luckily, Ibram and Kentaur were just far enough behind Quinray to avoid falling.
DC12 climb check (DC7 with a rope) to make it out of the pit, will take 1 round to climb out.
Ibram and Kentaur are next to the pit. Milo and Tirnel are about 30' back.
The forest is now eerily quiet.
Party action.
Tirnel chuckles to himself mirthlessly, 'Have you ever been in the front?'; better to sound like an ass than be one.....
Getting serious he sighs, Are you OK Quinray; can you make it out?
The elf dolefully moves forward to within 15' of Ibram and Kentaur, trying to take as much cover as he can in the trees; ready to fire an arrow or cast a spell.
Milo continues to lay low waiting for a target to shoot (stealth roll above).
He does his best to make sure no foes are circling around the rear of the group as he watches Tirnel advance half way to the others position.
Drop end of rope down to Quin and help him out.
Quinray does his best to scramble out of the pit. He does not like being in this situation.
How did I do this? Falling into a put. Guess I will let everyone else go forward. I will just lay back
As Quinray reaches the top of the pit the bandits spring their attack, shooting arrows from out of the forest about 30' beyond the pit. The party is caught flatfooted, no dex to AC this round.

Party action
Milo moves up 20' and fires off an arrow at the closest bandit:
+2/+2 if human

If there is a group of bandits bunched Tirnel will move up (30' rate) to get in range and cast grease.
If not he fires off an arrow:
Move forward and throw my javelin
-3hp
Move forward and fire my crossbow
Quinray action.
Quinray goes total defense to gain solid cover. He is bleeding badly.
-7 HP
Quinray dives behind a tree and keeps his head low. Ibram advances to the side of the pit and hurls a javelin which misses. (The coming round Ibram will be close enough to advance to melee and attack in same round if he wants). Kentaur lets fly a bolt from his crossbow which sticks into a tree near the shoulder of one of the bandits (Kentaur is within channel distance of all his companions, but out of range of bandits). Milo advances close to Tirnel and fires an arrow into a bandit wounding him pretty badly. Tirnel also wounds a bandit to a lesser degree.
The bandits are spread out in a line with about 6'-8' between each of them, and they let fly a particularly effective volley, striking 3 of the 4 party members that are still in the fight. One precisely aimed arrow takes Tirnel in the chest, dropping him immediately unconscious.

OUCH!
Tirnel surveys the field thinking to himself about how to crack this stalemate with the bandit archers. Feeling a harsh sting in his chest he looks down to see an arrow protruding from right around where his heart should be.
Well THIS certainly wasn't part of the plan.... he thinks as he collapses in a heap.

Milo runs full speed (x4=80') to engage the closest bandit in melee.
As he runs-
If I am able I fire an arrow from good cover.

Everybody in battle has cover, if anything the bandits have better cover from prepared ambush spots, if you want your attacks to have a chance to succeed then you are going to expose yourself to return fire.
