=What happened=
Amo has been whining to everybody that the parade was so much fun and she misses Yvolres very very much! The group chats with each other for a bit around Chef Bonk's kitchen and they joke with each other. Sooner or later, Amo comes hopping in to the tavern, looking specifically for Yvolres, as she shoves Horlix and Fumby aside. She says she has gold for the group and she wants to go on date with Yvolres. Everyone has to pretend to be ghosts. At the same time, Mariko was heard scheming by the corner, she might have a taste for one of the guys. "Hmm no one will notice if one of them goes missing right?" she said in a mischievous way. After that uncomfortable interaction, they set off into the forest nearby.
According to Amo, there is a camp nearby at a clearing where the gold is stashed. The camp is fully settled by bandits. At this moment the group couldn't make out how many in total. Amo uses a dust of disappearance on herself, she says "remember to scare them, not just kill them!" Amo wants the group to spook the bandits fully!
Fumby sends Spurt to investigate the camp first and he reports that there are roughly 8 bandits camped there. There also seems to be 2 bandits that who are having their own sweet time together at one corner of the woods. Mariko dons a disguise like a monster lady, wanting to jump scare the bandits. Sho follows Mariko into the far end, targeting the two lovebirds. Valkorian and Yvolres tries to stealth through the forest but they fail miserably and immediately steps on branches, putting the plan in peril. Fumby and Zapin decides to stay behind as backup. Suddenly, Horlix jumps down from the cliff and shouts his signature "Greetings!" in goblin language in a very intimidating voice, but the bandits are quite brave indeed. They are in full alert mode now.
Mariko targets the peeping tom and with her haunting voice via thaumaturgy and she creeps the crap out of him. He runs back down to the campfire to report to his allies, and a lead figure steps out of the big tent, tells them to keep watch as they walk to the back, trying to investigate the source of the sound. Zapin is on for a preemptive strike and decides to throw a net on one of the bandits below, restraining him. Sho continues his thaumaturgy, making a phantom sound like a dinosaur roar in the direction of the guard captain, scaring the pants of them. Yvolres made a bloodcurdling howling sound just like a wolf, scaring one of the guards below. Valkorian has had enough of sneaking around and he casts suggestion on the nearby lovebirds. He whispers into the man's ear "you know that b cheated on you, flee this forest, and tell her if she loves you to chase after you immediately". He believes those poisonous words and he turns to his lover and scorns her, tears well up in his eyes and he runs off into the night. His lover, perplexed by his actions and feeling distraught, runs off after him, disappearing into the forest. Fumby asks Spurt to fly above the main tent and electrocute a fly, creating a ear splitting sound which spooks another 2 guards to run the F out of there. The real leader of the group steps out into the campfire and rallies his people, they stand firm together, ignoring the stragglers who left, and proceed to attack Horlix.
Battle has begun, 3 bandits rush to Horlix and swing their scimitars at him, but they miss completely. He is hard to see while he is hunkered down within the brush because of his moss-covered armor. Sho shoots a long range firebolt and hits one of the bandits. The bandits stay focused and try to grapple Horlix to the ground, and they actually managed to do so. The next bandit tries to break free from the net and he is too clumsy, getting stuck even deeper in the net. Val strolls up to the edge of the cliff, playing his haunting pipes whose melody creep right into the depths of their minds, scaring all of them to no end. Mariko then casts a barrage of Sorcerous Bursts and injures the bandits further with thunder damage. Zapin then uses his gavel of law and exercises absolute justice onto the bandit and he falls down unconscious. Sho arms his durian knuckles and punches into the bandit right's abdomen and he continues further with his durian spike barrage, killing the bandit instantly. The bandits try to fight back, but due to them being frightened, they miss all their attacks. Horlix is still being grappled and he tries to break out of it, but the darkness is hindering his body coordination and he fails too. It's becoming a blind-fighting arena up in here. Yvolres tries to maim the bandit but he misses time and time again, maybe blinded by his rage in heat of combat. Valkorian once again whispers into one of the captain's ears: "i just received some missed sendings, its from your momma, she needs help, go save her now before her ass gets kidnapped", she runs off in a panic, believing it without a seconds thought. Horlix finally regains his minerals and hits the bandit with a divine smite, incinerating the bandit where he stands. There is only one bandit left, the captain that rallied her troops just now, now left standing all by herself as her allies are either dead or abandoned her. Valkorian hits her with one last dissonant whispers, she survives and starts running away, but her head gets chopped off by a handaxe that was tossed by Yvolres! The battle ends.
Sho moves one of the live bodies behind the big tent and Mariko shyly starts feeding, and surprisingly joined by Amo. The group checks on the rest of the camp, Zapin managed to find 300 gold pieces and a ring of warmth in a chest. Horlix founds a teddy bear and gives it to Yvolres to comfort him for missing so much. Fumby found some thieves tools, 50 gold pieces and also 2 potions of healings. The group sat around the campfire divided the spoils, each person gets 65 gold pieces and Horlix gets the Ring of Warmth. The same time, Mariko and Amo emerges from behind the tent, both quenched from their little snack. Mariko says the blood taste extra scrumptious because his blood type is O negative. Yvolres apologizes to Amo, and gifts the shortsword and teddy bear to her but she is not impressed, but forgives him anyway. Amo hops around, she was very entertained by the show that was put on by the group. She runs off into the night and they hear a maniacal scream like a banshee tear through the night!
The End!
