Melee short sword +2 (1d6+1/19–20)
Ranged longbow +2 (1d8/×3)
Tactics
During Combat These bandits 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 While the bandits remain relatively loyal
and well-behaved as long as their boss, Kressle, lives, their
loyalty to the Stag Lord vanishes as soon as she’s defeated.
Any remaining bandits attempt to flee at that point, and
any who realize they can’t escape the PCs are quick to
surrender and beg for mercy.
