The final tree bursts into flames. It topples over, writhing for a moment at Whistler's feet, and then goes still.

End of initiative.

What is everyone's Passive Perception? Alternatively, make a Perception check with disadvantage.

Revelry Perception 12

Revelry Perception 7

 12

Rizo Perception (smell related perception would negate disadvantage): 10

+6 for a total of 16 (or 22 for scent) 

(( Whistler's Passive Perception is 12. BTW, at the end of the last combat he would have taken a Bonus Action to use Second Wind and regain 6 HP ))

(( As a note, if there is time, Rizo would have cast on Whistler Cure wounds for 11 HP on the next occasion, but I assumed we don't have the time. ))

 ((Totally fine! Whistler regains 12 hp))

Rizo, as you heal Whistler, your nose picks up an odor, oddly familiar and not particularly pleasant.

((If anyone else would like to use one additional action or bonus action, feel free. If not, we'll move on.))

 *I'm good*

(( All good here ))

((Ready))

As you survey the charred debris, you hear the sound of someone clapping sarcastically. Emerging from the forest 100 feet away are some of the bandits from earlier - it seems that during the heat of battle, they snuck up on you.

One of the bandits, who appears to be the leader, is sitting astride a tiger. He's the one applauding, and he continues to slow clap as he calls out:

"Wow, look at the powerful adventurers. You beat up a bunch of trees. Got any money for us yet?"

Give me another Perception check, no disadvantage this time.

Revelry Perception 19

Aeron perception: 4

Rizo Perception: 16

”You mean from these trees? “ Rizo looks up to the bandit captain, “Well, I guess, you’re right. You caught us with our pants down. How about you take your pickings from them trees and we give you no trouble??” Rizo gauges whether he could hit the bandit captain and at least two others with a fireball (if not a scorching ray) and hopes that the captain hesitates long enough to ready the spell as reaction to their approach. “Let’s go,” he motions to the others to leave and tries to signal with a wink to his friends that he means to attack.

Whistler's Perception Check: 4

Aeron: as the rest of the party stares down the bandits from 100 ft away, you hear a twig snap behind you. Two more bandits materialize, 50 ft in the other direction. It would appear that they've got you surrounded.

Rizo: make a Deception check against the Bandit Captain's Insight, DC 6

Revelry starts to say "But the trees didn't have - " and then sees Rizo wink, and shuts her jaw with a snap. As subtly as she can, she prepares to cast a spell. ((Is anyone looking rough in terms of HP? Like, below half?))

 You see four figures: the leader and his tiger mount, plus one bandit and a thuggish fellow, all within fireball/scorching ray distance.

 Aeron plucks a bead off the necklace around his neck, looking it over for a moment, "You know, you bandits are pretty clever." He says, readying to toss it at the bandits behind him, though it doesn't look like he's aiming at them, just looking at the bead.
