Reverse Ambush

[harknail]

Splitting the group to handle both sides at once, Bishop, Mika, Aegis, and Kamon-do took the east side (top of map). The forest was thick enough to be lightly obscured (disadvantage on sight perception), with plentiful tree trunks where a ranged attacker could get half cover (+2 healer AC).

The group sneaks up slowly and as quietly as possible. On the east side Bishop and Mika are in the lead, with Kamon-do and Aegis right behind. They managed to get within 10 feet of the archers, who were hiding behind trees. But since the group was sneaking up behind the archers, they were fully exposed to the group s attacks. Suddenly a call to attack comes from Beth on the west side of the conflict. It is time to ambush the ambushers...

[harknail]

Green are the archer women, blue are the scimitar wielding men. Both are bandits, the same styles as you fought before, except this time you are behind the archers, instead of the archers being out of your reach.

Bishop moves in support striking at the same archer (unless they had already fallen) and standing ready to receive the attacks of the swordsmen.

What weapon is Kamon-do using? To get a+7 to hit she needs to be using her light crossbow, but if that was the case, then moving next to her target would give her disadvantage on the ranged attack while adjacent to an enemy. Her longsword only has +4 to hit. Neither weapon has +5 damage, the crossbow has+3 and the sword has+2. Of course I could be missing something...

[kawaylon1]

+2  from archery but i might be wrong as its been a long time. i'll re-roll attack with sword.

The archery fighting style gives +2 to hit with ranged weapons. The dueling fighting style gives +2 damage when using a single melee weapon. No need to reroll, I can simply adjust the modifiers.

Drawing her sword, Kamon-do advanced, and using both hands for power, sliced into the side of the unsuspecting archer. The powerful swing sliced through the archer's mother armor and into her side between two ribs and reaching to the lung.

Bishop also advanced to the same archer, conking her on the head with his warhammer and dropping her for she has a chance to react at all. Bishop then continued advancing to engage the nearest of the scimitar wielding bandits.

I'm assuming Bishop wants to kill the bandits, if instead he wants to take them alive, let me know and I will change the red x (dead) for a green x (unconscious.)

[harknail]

Mika also advanced, targeting the other archer from the rear, though she held her longsword using only 1 hand (her shield taking up the other hand).
Attack: AdnVZWmPp_1-20+4 = 12

Unfortunately, Mika only managed a glancing blow that was deflected by the bandits leather armor.

Bishop keeps up the pressure, shield high as he pushes the next of the bandits back with blows from his warhammer.

Aegis's second attack burnt off the rest of the bandit's hair, and left the flesh on her head charred and blackened. Somehow she is still alive, but is severely injured.
