Dorno, always wearing his true feelings plainly on his face, simply says "oh..." with a concerned expression but keeps walking with the group towards the bandits. Occasionally they see him stop and pick up pebbles, look at their size and shape in his palm, and deposit the ones he seems to like in the pouch on his large, thick belt. He is able to keep up with the group without too much trouble, however.
"So how are we doing this? Stealth? Rush in? I can take the hits if you want me to, just need to be able to get close enough to tear into them." Thresher asked the group. She's twitchy at the idea of combat, eager to shed blood with her axe.

Dorno looks at Thresher as if he is clueless as to how to handle such things, but then his look turns to one of concern. In his low voice he whispers "Are you going to hurt them?" "What bad thing did they do?"
"Yes. I will hurt them. Even kill 'em. They do the same. Hurt, kill, steal. That's why i'm going to stop them. If you got a problem with it then stay back and let me do all the work."
Thresher says curtly, waiting for the others' responses.
Dorno's eyes quickly grow wide in surprise at Thresher's words and tone. He then seems to consider it all for a moment. "If they hurt people, I will thump them with a rock." He now looks in the direction of the bandits, more determined than before. He puts his staff down and pulls a few of the stones from his pouch, holding them in his palm up close to his mouth. He passes his other hand over them and whispers something to them in Sylvan and they start to glow with a faint green aura. He glances back at Thresher and nods to indicate that he is ready, furrowing his brow and making an odd scowl with his nose and mouth like a child pouting. Clearly he is not very good at making a mean face.
As you are nearing the spot marked on your map, you see a plume of smoke rising above the hill crest. You also seem to hear a faint roaring, as if from a trapped animal . . .

"Where there's smoke, there's something brewing! And, by the sounds of it, it might just be Trouble [that's brewing]!" Alexana says, as she moves off the road 30 feet, and moves through the forest towards the sounds.

"Wait hang on Alex- You didn't- Ugh why does no one answer when I ask questions. I guess we're sneaking." Thresher follows after the smaller woman, attempting to catch up.
As all of you get closer to the source of the smoke, you see a campfire with four surly humans sharpening their blades. Nearby is a wagon containing a cage with a bear inside. The bear appears to be trying to escape, and must have been attempting for some while, as the bandits are completely ignoring it.

As Thresher creeps somewhat quietly towards their camp, the bandits jump up warily, searching around. They spot the genasi creeping through the brush, and ready their weapons. Roll initiative! (If you role a stealth check greater than 15, you are hidden. However, no one gains a surprise round.)

Dorno scratches his head in confusion regarding Alexana's words, and seems to take some of them literally. "I don't know what they are brewing, but it sounds like they have trapped a bear!" He seems even more motivated to investigate now.
As they approach and everyone is about to take action, Dorno whispers "I'll free him!" in reference to the bear.

Alexana notches an arrow on her shortbow, and gets ready to assist her team. If the bandits attack her team, she will release the arrow. *pew! pew! pew!*

It sounds like it could be some sort of bear.
