*With a swipe at Bandit H, Terrel, would deliver a deathblow. His second attack however, missed just by a hair*

*Artoria's First bolt would bonce off of the shield, however, her second would strike her target down*

*One more left. As Terrel gets struck, Artoria casts two more firebolts towards the shield-clad bandit.*
``` Firebolt x2 cast.

Firebolt 1: 23 to hit, 13 damage
Firebolt 2: 6 to hit, 10 damage ```

*Terrel would take a step back to avoid the hit from the shield bandit, soon stepping aside as another set of fire bolts would fly past him.*

Lewis
*Terrel would take opportunity from the fire bolts striking, sidestepping around his opponent's shield and slashing across the side of his torso with his heated sword. He'd soon lower it afterwards, gazing at the carnage around him before letting out a huff.*

Jessica
*That should be all of them. Trusting that Terrel could handle the last blow on his own, Artoria set her hands down. The smell of burning bodies rushed into her nostrils, causing her to steal glances towards some of them, but she tried to pay them no mind.*

"You think that was it?" *She said, making her way over to Terrel.*
John
*With a last strike, Terrel would cut the last survivor in half*

Lewis
*Terrel would sheathe his sword, taking out his crossbow to load another bolt in it in the event that another bandit decided that the firepower was not enough.*"For now it seems."*He'd say to her.*"Still need to figure out where their leader is if they haven't managed to become one of the corpses out here. Though if not, no way of knowing if their hiding away or not."
Jessica
*She pointed over to the scattered corpses nearby in response.*

"I'll go further ahead and see if there's anything up there. You can go check the bodies. Who knows - maybe something'll turn up?"

*With that, she turned southeast, heading to where the archer bandits came from. Their camp was nearby. Maybe some traces of the leader were there, and perhaps a clue as to why there was a sudden uprising of bandits in the first place.*
John
*There was tree tents with only beds, However, there was a bigger camp. Maybe something was in the. Maybe a clue to which one of these corpses could be the leader. Or maybe they would be lucky and the leader would be somewhere else*
Jessica
*She walked into the larger of the two camps, as the other one only had beds inside. As she did, she looked around to see if there was anything that caught her eye.*
John
*There we a bunch of empty chest, though they had no dust on them. A map full of places they hit and a letter*
Jessica
*The only thing that really was of interest was a letter. But the map - it showed a whole lot of raids. It seemed like the assaults were organized, but by who? Quite the mystery.*

*She picked up the letter, reading the contents.*
John
*The letter would seem to have a decent writing for bandit and it read as followed* "The recruitments have been going well. And we have made a decent amount of money. I've reached Salvainia and banked all out hard earned money. Expect to see me in a few days" *Seemed like this letter was to set his crew at ease*
