I'll pass on the bow.

I would also like to keep the bow, of course. I have a healing potion, not sure it counts as a magic item. If it does, I won't play the smartass and drink it just before the adventure ends, don't worry :P
"Oh, my goodness... I don't know how we manage to pull that, but we did it!" exclaims Shoo. He puts back his bow and starts to prepare everything for the escape. "Now let's get out of here hell bent!"
"Flying? That won't save you... Shoo carefully aims at Sharrak, hoping to disable him so Shadoo can easily grab him and they all can run - the combat is turning uglier than they thought and poor Clyde won't ever earn enough for bandages.
Noticing Sharrak is near unconscious, Shoo thinks he better leave the remaining job to anyone who can grab him, such as Shadoo, and concentrates on thinning the orc chieftain a bit so any of the melees can finish him off quickly. "After all, we will need to get off here asap"
Shoo tries to inutilise Sharrak and thus end the fray quickly.
While setting himself ready, Shoo turns to Rath. "Remember, we have to take him alive." He then tries to find a sweet spot behind some rocks or a difficult to reach place, but separate from Rath so they need to divide in case they want to chase for the snipers.
Shoo goes to his position beside Rath and stands ready for the plan.
"Why do you think they wil send Sharrak, Sashah?"
"I guess you could escape taking the same route we used to get in" Shoo explains. Turning to the rest, he adds "I agree. We should try to capture Sharrak, taking advantage of the mayhem, and slip away with him and the prisoners." He's also positive towards freeing the owlbear.
Shoo passes nearby while helping Clyde and overhears the end of the conversation. ]b]"Capturing him alive? Mmmmh... will be difficult with all the mayhem that's gonna be, but we'll try. If the cult is responsible for human sacrifices, we should try to stop them and any info is valuable. Thank you, mate."[/b]
"Oh my God, Sahnd... and Clyde... who should I help? Mmm... Clyde already died once, I won't let him die again, not while I'm here." Shoo takes another arrow and shoots at the kobold attacking Clyde.
Shoo puts his priority in the ones with bows or other kinds of ranged attacks.
Shoo follows Rath and finds a sweet spot to initiate the ambush.
Shoo has really no idea what to do. "All plans seem to have a god point and carry some risks. If you're willing me to do the stealtrh, I think I can do it, but I'll leave it up to you guys."
Shoo watches the entrance of the cavern while the injured are attended. When the task is finished, he asks "Should we sneak out there, or go all in?"
Shoo runs after the Kobold, but his reaction comes too late. He was clearly expecting the creature to die from its wounds, and the surprise of seeing it getting away with it stunned him.
Knowing Clyde has a better knack for strategy than himself, Shoo follows his advice and shoots at the kobold in flames.
Not wanting the uncontrolled weasel to alert the rest of the kobolds, Shoo tries to finish it off.
Shoo turns to Sashah. "Yeah, a patched weasel..." Then focusing on the matter at hand, he grabs an arrow and stands ready to initiate the sneak. "Any of you melee guys, signal the attack."
-Well, I'd say we first check there are no kobolds left on the camp, then we attack them from above.
-Also, if my mind doesn't betray me, I think there could be some prisoners at the kobold camp about to be sacrificed. I will try to free them, the rest can come or not. You- he says, finger pointing to Sahnd -might want to help free them. It could wash your name a bit, maybe.
Sneakers: Not wanting to risk missing again, Shoo goes for a secured shot.
Sneaking on the Sneakers: -And the bandit band, pun intended, is disbanding, yeah... I should have been a bard...
Seeing almost no future in his acting career, Shoo decides the kobolds will be too dazed by an attack from nowhere, so he fires.
Oh, so sneaky: Seeing Rath getting ready in case the kobolds appear to be at range, Shoo calculates the distance and the possibility the kobolds have to take cover, assessing whether he and Rath have any possibility of disbanding them without turning into their next target.
The Sneaky Ones:
"Guys, there are about ten kobolds sneaking on the bandit's camp. We must alert them!"
Scouts: Shoo looks at the scene down in the bandit camp. The bandits seem to be arresting Clyde and the others, but the old guy who's usually writing everything is now speaking... and they seem to be hesitating. Maybe he is driving a bit of reason through their minds?
-I think we should carefully watch over the two camps, and stand ready to light that signal in case the bandits take a more injuring approach at the group.
Those hiding: -Well, I was trying to capture him alive...
Both Rath and I have a feat that ignores up to 3/4 cover, anyway. Which doesn't matter when you roll a 1, of course :P
Shoo sees the enemy just a moment too late, but still he lets an arrow go as a reflex.
-I think we should talk first, if it's happening before their meeting. There's always time to execute plan B if the talkings go South.- After a few seconds, Shoo adds -and to charge murder on another is ominous, even though I understand that desperate times need desperate measures.
-Okay, guys, I know this will sound ominous, but... what if we manage to steal some arrows and... you know... use them?
Seeing he's going to have company, even not the best, Shoo relaxes a bit.
After coming from the scouting expedition, Shoo tells the others all he has seen .
Shoo thinks he's not that bad, and volunteers for scouting.
-Actually, yes- says Shoo rubbing his chin, -we could do a little scouting and see if it helps us take a decision. Plus, if we eliminate some patrols we can potentially find, this could help them be more receptive to suspicion.
-Even though we have a plan A- Shoo states, -it would be wise to be ready for a plan B. I say we take positions to cover one of the camps. With a well-coordinated attack and retreat, we can make them bite.
-Yeah, I agree. The screech owl feather might prove helpful if our intel is correct.
-Well, if you ask me, I'd take whatever takes us there faster. That way we can recognise the terrain and think of a contingency plan. What do you guys think?
I bet dealing with children can be way more exhausting than being sick ;) Rest what you need (we don't want a dead GM after all :P)
-Lots of things, and really interesting.- is what comes from Shoo's mouth. He is desperate to have a drink, though, and they should be getting ready to part if they want to be at the meeting on time, so he lets the others do the talking on their way back.
