Sadly, Carinas words were less than convincing. Some of the bandits shake their heads and the leader looks at Carina with a face of disgust, as he says:
"I told you to choose your words wisely! Not to bluntly lie in our faces!! I hope you did not really expect us to believe this nonsense. And by the way ... I do not like it if someone lies to me..."
With that the bandit gives some signs to the others and they clearly get ready to attack you.
(I rolled a 15 as Initiative for Elmira and a 3 for Xerim. The bandits rolled slightly lower as a group, so you really have the first turn. As last time, we fight in groups. First all of you take your turn, then the bandits move.
@Pandora, you are currently hidden, so you get advantage on your first attack, if you want to attack. This grants you your sneak attack action.)

Carina continues walking up to the bandit leader as he responds at length to her, not slowing down at all, black warhammer hex weapon ready in one and and shield donned in the other. She gives him a rueful smile and a shrug.
"It's true, I talk too much. But then, so do others. You, for example, my 'ambusher' friend."
She flips her dark harmonica to her mouth and plays a note. A thin black tendril extends from it, drifting, and connects to the leader's forehead, right between the eyes. Ever so gently. (Bonus Action: Hexblade's Curse, henceforth 'HBC', +2 damage, Crit on 19 or 20, heal 5hp if target dies).
Action: lightly, Carina whips her black warhammer up and around, smashing it against the bandit leader's temple. To Hit: 26 (Natural 20, did not even need HBC!) Damage: 10 + 2 from HBC = 12 bludgeoning
As a free action, Carina then stows her warhammer at her belt so she has a free hand.
As Carina's warhammer hits the leader in the head, Ashton will charge up beside her and swing his silvered maul at the leaders ribs. "I am cold and not in a mood to be ambushed."
Uh okay. We're in trouble. Should i stay her? Probably not, the will see me sooner or later.
Pandora uses Carina'sillusion and disappears behind the tree right behind her. She watches behind the tree the attack of Ashton and Carina. One bandit less.That's good.
Knowing that no one has seen her, she takes advantage of the moment and sprints to the nearest tree (J2) near a bandit. Through all the hustle and bustle she can't be heard.
The bandit (K3) did not see or hear her coming.

Pandora presses herself even lower to the ground in fright, hoping not to be seen. She watches the bandits and hears their screams.
It looks like he doesn't see me. He is standing in the direction of the illusion....
Her breathing is quite shallow. She no longer tries to make a sound.
(Initiative if needed: 8)
