Made it to the fork in the road.   The forest road wandered and wound around, and then followed a river.  They investigated an abandoned campsite with 3 dead and mostly eaten bodies.

Fought a total of 5 bandits; killed 3,

• one (with longsword) down to 1hp,
• 1 (woman with scimitar and fur robe – BANDIT – Amas Lithtaur (Wood Elf Female Bandit Fur Cape) captured and tied up,
• one (crossbowman) vanished into the woods. 

Gathered a bunch of loot from the bodies

Precious got down to 1hp, but was healed by a healing potion “Nyfain gave her” (DM discretion as he was not present)

Reo was the navigator through the forest.
