With regards to the exact distance between you and the explosion of lightning magecraft: I am bad at conceptualizing distances, and I don't want everyone here to be tripped up by the exact number. I'll go back and edit to what I myself (an extremely unfit, chronically sick person with highly flawed cardiovascular, circulatory, and respiratory systems and a vitamin D deficiency) imagine is a more reasonable distance, but for the time being, please assume that it's a distance that's far enough away that you'd have to go a bit out of your way to get there, but isn't so distant that a flanking maneuver - if all things go well - isn't implausible.
Question, considering how spooked most of the bandits seem to be, well uneasy at least...
Would a 'Knight' and us Famous Mercs may-be able to cow them into submission...
Well ok we'd probably need our favorite lightning user to do well at it, a Greatsword probably will work well enough. We'll have to probably kill the leader to break their morale but 'I'm a dryad so you'll die tired if you run away from me in the forest' will probably make them stick together...
I'm willing to basically assume that a very hasty offer of solution is given in a way that is reasonable and doesn't compromise what element of surprise can be preserved. Also, humans are likely to out-endurance dryads, and aseri are likely to run faster. No indication if they're super good at navigating woodlands, though.
Do they all get killed if they surrender(?)
The legal sentencing of bandits is tragically not under the purview of sixteen-/seventeen-/eighteen-year-old Caldran mercenary apprentices. If they
do surrender, their fates will probably rest in the hands of Sigrid Rossfeldt Almsyre, the Sheriff of Apaloft.
As an aside, I'm seeing a lot of semi-new faces. I am sorry that I haven't been greeting and thank each and every one of you individually; somewhere along the line,
actually managing to put out content sapped a lot of my ability to concentrate on things in this thread, and I've very embarrassingly lost track. Still, I want to take a moment to personally thank those relatively recent newcomers who have stuck around since the update before this one:

Here's hoping I keep you entertained, and won't take another bloody two months to do it. x_x
(This is not even close to the most people
I've ever tagged in a single post. Let's hope I don't have to do it again, though. x_x )
