The bandits on the rooftop take aim and shoot at Pushover and Gabriel. Amazingly, the bandit misses the human giant as the bolt digs into the wooden home besides him. But the other target is not so lucky as a bolt buries into Pushover's shoulder, nearly knocking her down. The other bandit on the street snarls at his fresh wound and swings at valiant, easy blocked by his Valiant's shield.
"Jerr says you've got the gold, so how about you hand it over? I'll even let you go if you do." The skeleton says as she slashes at Ja'Dul, only managing a shallow cut into his carapace. "Especially if you don't want to end up more hurt than you want to." The skeleton taunts.

Pushover very nearly faints when the crossbow bolt enters her shoulder [1 hit point!] With her vision hazy, she traces the incantation on her open spellbook once more and flicks another stream of flames towards the bandit that struck her: 21 to hit, 7 fire damage on a hit.
Valiant sees there are bandits on the roof and goes to throw a javelin at the closest one, sending it wide with a attack roll of 9 but a damage roll of 7…
”I hope… that doesn’t go through someone’s window while they are sitting on the shitter,” he brushes off the miss and moves forward to make sure he is in the way of the enemy so they don’t go after pushover.
“I like your weapons… perhaps they will become mine,” he taught them to try to distract them from attacking their mage in her precarious lvl 1 low hp condition.
Sigurd sprints towards the Bandit on the roof to the west of his position and makes a mighty rage enhanced leap! He lays into the Bandit for 9 hp & 3 hp for a total of 12 damage.
Irritated by the crossbolt user threatening to give the Sorcerer an unintended haircut — not that it'd work, mind you, the hair would grow back instantaneously, Gods know Gabe'd tried — the large man looked around to find that both Pushover and Sigurd now attempted to assault the rooftops.
So, resolving himself to continue to focus fire on the undead leader of the forces, the Sorcerer once more summoned magic to his hand and, after igniting it with a snap of his fingers, launched it at Jelayne, before moving away from the open, and into the alley opposite him.
(Fire BoltAttack: 17 Damage: 5, aimed at Jelayne. 35 ft of Movement: Gabe wants to move into the into the alley south of the water basin looking thing. Assuming Sigurd's actively trying to harass that bandit, it feels like the right thing to do. I'm not sure how you're counting the movement, but I don't want to move further west than the bandit.)
Trix lunges in for another stab at the bandit, piercing through his throat. The bandit gives a last gurgle before he falls. Trix looks to Pushover and giving and encouraging word to her.
(Did 10 damage to the bandit and healed Pushover for 8.)
Sigurd leaps towards one of the rooftop bandits, coming down like thunder and cleaving into the man. He drops as fast as the first foe Sigurd came across. Trix finishes the other bandit on the street, leaving only one foe left. The last one gives a panicked look about as he's the last of the crew. He drops his weapon and begins to run, jumping across the rooftops.
Encounter over
(The last foe is fleeing, up the to party if they want to chase him down. So far this is the only bandit besides the skeleton that managed to get a hit, more importantly, this is the one that almost knocked out Pushover.)

(Gabe's theoretical 'pursuit' of the Bandit:)
(Option 1 would be the ideal, 2 being a backup. If neither work, then disregard this spoiler entirely)
(Option 1: Mind Sliver — would require the Goliath to have both line of sight, and his 35 ft of movement to place him within 60 ft of the bandit. The idea for this spell would be that the -d4 to the next ability check that the target makes could make the Bandit 'fail a jump check' and drop from the roof. It's petty, and it's funny. DC 15 Intelligence Save)
Hearing his Godfather's voice whispering in his ears, followed by the sweet laughter of childlike pixies, the Fiery Haired individual confidently strode forwards and reached out with his mind, hoping to inflict a little Fair Folk luck onto the fleeing Bandit, hoping, just a touch, that they might take a tumble down to the ground.
(Option 2: Fire Bolt — Would require Gabe to have line of sight, and his 35 ft of movement to place him within 120 ft of the Bandit — Attack: 17 Damage: 10 )
Summoning a third wave of fire from his fingertips, the young Aes Sedai would rear back and chuck the Bolt as if he were a baseball pitcher, aiming to hit the bandit squarely between the shoulder blades.
Gabriel breathed out a sigh of relief, and then took a moment to inspect everyone's bearings. Finding them all living, and decently well, the red-head's still glowing eyes then scoured around his vicinity in search of a particular Gnome, that he fully intended to mug, for one thing, and scare the ever living daylights out of, for another.
Pushoverfeels immediately revitalised as Trix gives her such words of encouragement, but by the time she's recovered from the shock, the battle has seemingly been won. She stokes Aebelskink's foul spine fondly and whispers 'I didn't even get a chance to use some of your more potent spells...I shall sit down and give them a study next time we have the chance, in case I need them! Perhaps I could look atthat spell which you said could bring back some of your animate form...oh I know you want me to do it now, but I simply don't have the time, I'm so sorry!'
Valiant sheathes his longsword and pats his hands together, “job well done… enough of that riff raff…”
seeing Gabe go after the one who left…., “best let one live… to tell the tale of our exploits! What is the use of being a great adventuring party but the glory eh?” Chuckling with a hearty chesty vibrating laugh.
“pushie I do hope you are ok! It seems they got the jump on us… and that means perhaps their instructions on how to get to the sink hole aren’t correct… should we…. Wing it with brazen daring? Or perhaps look for another guide?” He ponders with his lack of street smarts innocence, a glistening smile across his face…
…he doesn’t seem to have considered if these bandits have any loots, though he would partake, out of a tit for tat kind of schoolyard logic if presented the thought.

Never mind
Ja'Dul slashes and takes a hand off at the forearm, then spins to deliver a crippling cut to the thigh!
He draws his sword back for a finishing stab straight through the right *PHOOOF*! The skeleton's head explodes in fiery shards!
The body collapses in a clatter of lifeless bones. Ja'Dul's jaws click click *huh*
