Even as the others debated on what to do, the bandit guard leader nodded to the two snipers and they drew their bows - no longer just notched, they were aimming for the party now that violence had taken place and would likely not shoot just to wound, but shoot to kill.
At this range the chances are the arrows would start falling thick and fast with no way for the party to shield themselves (save through magic), and would need to take cover in the copse. In addition, the party would not be able to reach the archers in time, save through some miraculous quirk of fate. The three new guards moved in front of the leader and the pikemen and began to advance slowly, their movements wary and cautious... it was clear to all that the bandits wanted them(the party) as far away from here as possible and quickly - one way or another. The leader was becoming nervous at the debate and lack of definate action and would soon use all means at his disposal to dispose of the party...
Isokla seeing this, tugged on Detheriel urgently, her eyes pleading for them to leave before blood was spilt...
