With a lucky move the closest bandit dodges the arrow which gets embedded in the sand with a faint thump noise. He retaliates on Arpagic with a slash of his scimitar.
Scar C Attack on Arpagic: 12 Damage: 4
After casually cutting open their fellow, the two bandits facing Lan and Direen realize that the biggest threat is the dragonborn, so both of them try to slash him with their scimitars.
Scar E Attack on Morax: 5 Damage: 3

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The leader tries to block the next attack to his face, but he just turned back after shouting on his soldiers so his attempt is very lackluster. He loses his balance after the strike, but manages to block Direen's unarmed attack while he sits down to the ground with blood running from his nose. He quickly pulls out a strangely shaped vial with a blackish purple liquid swirling inside and drinks it. In the next moment he's gone, but his weapons, armor and belt pouch remain in the sand. His soldiers didn't even notice the disappearance of their leader so they keep fighting.
(Direen can roll a perception!)
The bandit facing Ryuji charges at him, trying to gut his belly with the scimitars end.

Morax blocks both attacks with his shield then says “Oh, two on one eh? We can play that game!” He brings his longsword to bear on Scar E who is already hurt, hoping to bring him down. If he sees the leader’s disappearance, he would say “Looks like your boss thought better of it and left you here. Why are you still fighting, you should flee!”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
“Well, maybe these bandits are just really big fans of your grandma's jewelry.“ Lan quips, “I mean, who wouldn't want a dusty old box filled with tacky costume jewelry? It's like the holy grail of loot!”
Lan’s brown eyes go wide as she sees the leader drinks a potion of purple liquid and disappears from sight. Her mind races to where he could have gone. Did he turn invisible? Teleport? She clenches her teeth in frustration, with wasting a second, she activates the small device in her palm and channels a burst of energy towards the scarface bandit standing in front of her, meanwhile her mind working to unravel the mystery.
(OOC: Also posting a bit early. Also, sorry about all these random numbers haha.)
Ryuji tries to dodge, but the scarface shanks just below his ribcage, luckily missing the vital organs. Watching the leader disappear, he smirks at the bandits despite the slashing pain making him want to puke. "You idiots should have listened to me when you had the chance. Now your leader deserted you all, over a box of my dearest gram-gram's jeweled dentures. Indeed, I truly pity you fools."
If Arpagic is within 5 ft of scar B, Ryuji will brandish his rapier and attack him. Attack: 18 Damage: 4 And then sneak attack: 2
If not, Ryuji will just hop diagonally backwards around 2 meters towards a more open space. Then, he will throw a dagger towards Scar A if he's not blocked by Scar E. Attack: 14 Damage: 5 After that, he'll use sneak attack: 4
Ryuji also scans if the scarfaces still wish to keep fighting despite their leader deserting. Insight, if needed: 10

The bandit doesn't have too much time to be angry about another shocking experience by Lan's gloves, as in the next moment Morax's longsword cuts through his neck, almost decapitating him.

The bandit cannot be happy for too long after a successful strike, as in a clever riposte Ryuji plunges his rapier right into his heart. The sarface dies instantly, collapsing into the sand. The remaining bandits still haven't noticed the disappearance of their leader in the thick of the fight.

Pride wells up in Ryuji as he retrieves the rapier. May I imbue this foreign blade with a part of my honor.
Following this thought, he spits on the corpse and mutters, "A fitting end for a dishonorable fool."
(OOC: Cuz Ryuji's the MOST honorable of course haha.)
Hearing Lan identify that it's a teleportation potion, Ryuji yells at the others, "That reviling backstabber is trying to escape. Who is confident in their chasing ability? If so, follow my lead! We'll leave two people to deal with the two bandits!"
Glancing around, Ryuji searches for accessible locations that could scout for where the leader might be.

Direen keeps things efficient. Short, precise moves.
She will try to hit Scar leader again, perhaps on the other side of the head if possible.
To hit: 8, damage 8
"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me..."
If he stands after that attach, Direen will take a bonus action to attack him with unarmed strike.
To hit: 16, to damage: 6

Direen suprprised simply says "What the f....?"
"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me..."
Unfortunately, Direen cannot see where the leader gone, but it looks like this is not the first time he has done this.

In that case Direen will definitely need to take care of his belt pouch or jewelry (if he has left any) but that just after the fight.
"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me..."

Based on the color of the liquid and the effect it caused, Lan identify the potion as a Potion of Sudden Translocation.
