Tactics
During Combat These hillfolk are classic bullies, eager to inflict
pain but cowards at heart. They do their best to team up to
flank foes at the start of a fight, but sometimes make poor
tactical decisions (such as wasting rounds of combat chasing a foe at range rather than switching to their longbows, or sometimes changing targets and leaving other bandits without a flanking partner).
Morale:
A hillfolk shrieks in pain and fear as soon as he’s reduced
to fewer than 6 hit points and attempts to flee back to the
family camp, on horseback if possible. If leader is
defeated, all surviving hillfolk immediately flee.

Tactics
During Combat overconfident and enjoys boasting
during battle, calling out attacks and hollow threats that he’s
ill-equipped to carry out. As a battle progresses, if his insults
and threats continue to fail, he grows increasingly grim and
quiet. He prefers to fight with his longbow, letting his men
take the risks in melee. He uses his alchemist’s fire against
PCs in a tight group, or perhaps as a distraction against the
caravan to draw the PCs out of combat and into firefighting or
controlling panicked horses.
Morale: knows that his position as second-in-command
is tenuous at best and won’t back down from a fight in
front of his men—as long as one other hillfolk can see him,
he fights to the death. If all other hillfolks are slain, flees or surrenders immediately if he’s taken any damage (or immediately upon suffering any damage otherwise).
