Xalkas lounged comfortably in the back with Reghys, soaking in the afternoon sunlight. Mean while T'chal'fronack'zcinicker just could not get that rock out of his head. He should make note of it for the ride back!
Further in the distance, just off to the left of the trail, Kerric and Hawke, you catch glimpses of smoke rising above the bushline. Your experience tells you it's definitely not a forest fire. The waft of a cooking fire just catches your noses.
Ebele perception: 16
The monk heard Hawke's mumble and T'chal'fronack'zcinicker's response. She giggled.
"Looks like we have a campfire ahead to the left," says Kerric, his elf eyes keen for anything out of the ordinary. "Be alert in case the chef is hostile," he adds, smiling.

Xalkas perks up at the mention of food. “Maybe we should stop and see if they have any to share?” Xalkas curses under his breath for not having eaten breakfast with the others.

When Kerric would mention that he sees a campfire, Ebele would tilt her nose up and sniff around. It would take until they were a little closer for her to pick it up. Didn't they head this direction in search of the missing delegation? Didn't they just stumble upon some shallow graves? The monk would pat her nose before turning her head to Kerric before smiling herself. "I'll snoop ahead. See what goodies we got!" The monk would dart off into the treeline, following her nose.
Stealth: 13
Ebele's entry into the bush wasn't quiet. Kerric and Hawke were able to follow her every move through the thicket. They'd even catch her bonking into a branch and stumbling a little. Though, after some eventual settled silence, the rustling would start again and the monk would emerge from the tree line, picking some leaves from her hair. She'd brush off some dirt on her shoulder. Then, she'd pause like she blanked for a second. Ebele forgot what she had counted on her way back from the camp.
"Uhh... So no chefs. A mix of bandits and cultists though."
Drawing his bright blade, Kerric responds, "Well, it looks like we have some work to do. Perhaps pull the wagon off to the side of the road and try to sneak up and catch them by surprise?" Turning to Ebele, he asks, "How many are there?"

‘Hopefully it’s not those fire cultists again’ Xalkas thinks to himself as he takes up a position near the back of the group. Attempting to move as quietly as possible.
T'chal'fronack'zcinicker glances around at the rest of the group, "Hmmm, seems simply passing on by isn't an option. Very well." He climbs down from the back of the wagon and pulls out his crossbow. "Ebele, did you happen to notice what color they were wearing. You can't see my face right now, but it's has a mischievous and cheeky grin on it."
"Kerric, remember that you're contractually obliged to be the bravest warrior in the group. You may not have seen it, and it's not actually binding since you haven't signed it, but it's one of my latests editions. I wouldn't add such a term without full belief that you are already accomplishing said responsibility." (Do you feel inspired? Bardic inspiration for Kerric. 1d6. For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.)
"And Xalkas, I'm sure you won't screw this up either." (Inspired!? YES. YOU. ARE!. 1d6)
He sneaks after the group....13

Kerric nods in spite of himself at T'chal'fronack'zcinicker's encouragement and whispers, "Let's try and catch them by surprise," as he moves forward with his bright blade drawn but held low behind him so as not to catch the sun.
(Saving the inspiration for later. Since I rolled pretty well on my stealth check.)
Xalkas acknowledges T'chal'fronack'zcinicker with a shrug. “Thanks for the vote of confidence?” And then waits for the rest of the group to proceed ahead of him.
Hawke does as Kerric suggests and directs the horses off to the side of the road. Afterwards, he hops off the wagon and follows behind the others, as sneakily as he possibly could.

Ebele could only offer Kerric a grin. She couldn't remember, and probably wouldn't have been accurate anyways. But she thinks there might have been more foes compared to them.
Xalkas' small steps and shorter stature worked in his favour today, nimbly blending him into the bush line. T'chal'fronack'zcinicker follows shortly after. He was just about as graceful as Ebele was. The tiefling was able to see and navigate fine, but it was the branches snagging at his snazzy new jacket and threatening to knock off his hat that caused his rustling. Even with his words, Kerric moved along silently, blending in with his surroundings. Then along crashed their tall, half blind, Kalashtar.
Hawke lost sight of the crew. And in his effort to try to be silent and retrack their steps, a branch would appear abruptly in his view. Moving it aside in his haste, he'd reveal a clearing. The druid found the bandits. Five of them to be exact. Cultists too. Three of those guys, two of them had shields and the other a staff. They all had been sitting around the fire, enjoying a meal when they heard the rustling in the bush and stood up. One of the shieldbearers had started heading towards the sound when Hawke would present himself.
"Well, well, well... What do we have here?" She smirks, looking him up and down. Her hand was held at the ready on the hilt of a toothed longsword.

Keeping plenty of distance between himself and the fire cultists (assuming they are similar in appearance to the ones we’ve encountered before). Xalkas pulls out his diamond orb (arcane focus). And quietly begins the incantation for Scorching Ray as the orb begins to glow red and spin in his and. With the in incantation complete, Xalkas directs the three rays of fire to separate targets, prioritizing the bandits.

Xalkas remains distant and as he looks over hit pick of the litter, the observant scholar notices the cultists actually do not resemble the fire cultists. They are of their own. Xalkas takes careful aim, sending off three rays to each bandit further back. Three bandits turn their head only to see fire beams burst through their camp fire in their direction, burning the trio on the east side of the campfire.
Kerric catches the priest in the side, completely by surprise. Though his blade didn't quite cut through the cultist as much as he'd expect considering the accuracy of his strike. With wide eyes as blue as the river, she'd stare the elven warrior down. The staff wielder wouldn't waver her glare even when T'chal'fronack'zcinicker's arrow would glance off her chain shirt.
Ebele followed the sounds that were easiest for her to detect. Kerric was swift, and silent. Even his target. Meanwhile, Hawke made enough noise and drew a chatty cultist forward. He was doing a good job keeping her distracted at least. The monk would step silently, and the moment she broke the bush line, she'd draw her own staff to charge the cultist. Desiring to take full advantage of her flanking position and surprise attack, she'd dig deep and call upon her ki. Like a dance, the half-elf would leap and come down onto the target with her staff before using the momentum to spin interchanging her steps with kicks.
