[X] Quiet Extraction: You know where Ardan is being held, try to quietly slip in and rescue her without having to fight the whole camp. This will be hard, and it will separate some members of the posse from the rest, but if successful you'll get what you want without a major battle. At least you should be able to make sure Ardan is safe if the fight starts.
[X] Fight cautiously: Artemis told you to keep your power hidden. You will use magic to fight, but you'll try to limit your oddities and keep your wings in check. This will weaken you noticeably.
[X] Fight vigorously: There are a lot of bandits here… you're going to need to try really hard if you want to win. Use your powers to their fullest, no matter who might see.
[X] Fight as a dragon: Forget subtlety, you aren't letting anyone get hurt. Mother told you to be ready to call your dragon. You are under the sky, let her roar. (You are filled with Determination)
[X] Frontal charge: The bandits are on edge, but they don't know you're here yet. A quick strike will still send them into disarray. However, if you don't win in those first minute or so, then the bandits will have numbers on their side and might be able to do serious damage, or even hurt Ardan if they realize she's why you're here.

[X] This is bad, this is bad, you can't afford to hold back anymore! People are getting hurt! You have to fight! Your dragon is a part of you, let her help a little
[X] Keep holding back. Artemis trusted you to finish this without going all. You can do this, you can be brave. You are manakete, more than your dragon!
[x] Your stone crackles in your pocket. You could end this nightmare in an instant, if you just let her all the way out. Fear and Anger war in your heart.

EDIT: There's something up with the automatic vote count, here's the one I have. "Mother" and "I don't know" are tied. Rolling tie-breaker : 1 is Mother, 2 is I don't know

As for the dice rolling, the decision I've come to is that I will work to design a dice system, but it will be used solely for combat. Out of combat will be purely narrative, but I don't trust myself to have risks without dice.
I would like to thank @VagueZ for his help in designing the system: it's not finalized yet, but when it is I'll give you all the details so you can help hold me to it.
While there are technically ten minutes left, I'm calling it now. "There must be someone" wins in a landslide.
In other news, the new combat dice system will (hopefully) be finalized soon. I won't have any fights until it is, so with any luck there won't be any unexpected issues.
[X] Axton keeps glancing in your direction, though he doesn't approach. He doesn't seem as hostile as before, but you should still try to clear the air.
