Going with the safe protective option, since flanking left puts us in a bad spot with trees in the way.

I think the flanking maneuver is misguided. We're not able to communicate with Elizabeth and Stephanie. How are they suppose to know to flank alongside us?

They're supposed to be psychic.

Part of being a commander is reading the situation on the ground. Even though there is some kind of lightning signal, we know that we should have the bulk of the actual forces in front of us and most of the rest seem to be poor quality troops. If we just smash what's in front, we can then pivot straight to dealing with any potential trouble the other two may be having with our path secure. If we don't, we risk being flanked or overwhelmed or cut off in the process in turn.

Don't jump Kei, we need you for your witty humor. And your writing, of course.

Wouldn't it be so hilarious if it turned out Stephanie had something against Eleanore. I honestly feel as if the little things stated either add up to that or just mean that might know each other. Just a feeling.

Better this than ignoring the battle by running to check on the competent others.

On one hand, agreed upon signal for trouble went up from Elizabeth of all people. The kind of thing that would make her choose to signal for help is liable to be more than just a few bandits, this is Elizabeth we're talking about.

On the other, we likely have most of the bandits here as noted and Neianne at least seems to believe that they aren't exactly trained or of high morale. The three of them at once could likely rout the group quickly and go check on the others, and leaving the knight alone is liable to end with panicked bandits running every which way and potentially making things messier with the others.

We can clean up quick and go to the others without the concern of bandits jumping in.

What part of 'they may be in trouble NOW' is not clear enough yet?

Seriously. I put that vote for a signal in case of unexpected event. The signal is used now and the answer you guys decide on is 'it can wait'?!

Like, what the hell?! This is the sort of precedent we want to set?!

Yes, we need more precise signals later, but the matter is that we indeed have no idea what they are facing right now. It could be bandits. But it could also be a monster they need help to deal with.

The problem is that the thieves in front of us heard the same signal too and can complicate the situation further if we don't deal with them now. If we go straight for Elizabeth now, we could help them yes. Or we could make the situation worse by not dealing with the problem in front of us.

They're not acting right now and they're not going charge as one either. We have time to check on them and hopefully move away before scouts arrive to check what was that.

How do you know that?

From what I see they'll act as their acting commander orders it. They don't have to send everyone, but they can send a lot and then we lose the initiative.

Also we're not going to be able to out pace the thieves. If we go to help Elizabeth then they have time to see what's going on and thus act accordingly.

With the bandits trying to figure out how to deal with the lightning magecraft that broke the tranquility of the woodlands

Right now, they don't know what we know.

And if we don't outpace them? Well, at least, the whole squad will be together to fight. Probably along with the sheriff at least. Much better odds. In fact, wooded area may give us a more tactical advantage since we do not have the numbers.

Oh, and we still have no idea if it's even bandits those two have encountered.

These bandits know that there was a signal, but not what that signal was for. Since they're going to be facing a knight charging at them regardless, it'd be a decent assumption that the signal was for the knight to attack. Also, there's only a dozen bandits here, and they're under assault from the single best combatant around. They're more likely to scatter than to send a group capable of threatening Siegliende and us to investigate, because properly splitting people off mid-battle like you suggest takes real skill and training that these people just don't have.
