Saden takes a few shots at the crossbow guy, firing back blindly as she runs. Just enough to keep his head down.
Iri just runs.

Crystalis jumps on one bandit, then the other, as they were ignoring him, giving a chance to Terrace, Iri and Melinda to run past them. Crystalis runs off behind them. They all make it to the Caravan.
Saden fires blindly at the bandit holding a crossbow. As she was already prepared to shoot, she shot before he did. She hits him once before she starts running, then she continues firing without hitting him. The suppressive fire is enough for him to not take the time to aim and he never shoots his crossbow.
As everyone makes it to the caravan, Arma quickly start moving it again. You sit down as you can hear the bandits shout something as you pass them. Crossbow bolts can be heard breaking on the Caravan, as you see that a large group of bandits were going to show up. Good thing you left.
You drive for another few hours.
---Night---
Arma: "We'll stop here. We should be 10 minutes of walking from the lone tree. I'll always stay 10 minutes away from our objective. Threats will aways be larger the closer we get. Now. It is night and we arrived at our last stop. That's where we have a choice: either we camp here for the night and a party of 4 does the night shift OR we deploy a party to directly go after the objective.
When taking the decision, remember one thing: Night is good for stealth. It's true for us, it's true for the enemy too.
There's also usually more monsters at night.
So, what are we deciding?
Night Shift or Quest?"

Crystalis barks. Terrace looks at him before looking at Arma. "Maybe we could manage to do the quest at night. We could evade enemies, which is important because we've got like...nothing. Plus, we have a dog here. He also seems pretty smart. He can probably sniff bad guys and tell us if something's there."

"Works for me," Iri says. "But we need to be careful, the pale princess over there glows like a nightlight. And the bright white outfit doesn't help."
"Oh, shut up," Saden says. She pulls off her labcoat and goes down to darker underclothes. "Are we going or not?"

---Night: Plains---
Crystalis, Terrace, Iri, Saden and Melinda jumps out of the caravan. The plains are pretty intimidating at night. Since it's flat, it's just darkness forever going into the horizon.
The adventurers follow the path, cause obviously, they would get lost if they didn't, yet Melinda runs into the shadow, disappearing. She must be going to scout ahead.
After three minutes, the party spots a campfire... Around it, there's two guys wearing leather armor, without any helmets. They both have iron axes next to their wooden chairs. There's also a tent behind them.
Whoever they are, you have to pass by them, unless you wish to run blindly into the darkness, towards the howling.

"Maybe they're friendly?" Iri whispers.
Saden gives him a look. "Hm, yeah. I'm sure the axes are just for show."
"Let me and the pooch get closer to them, see if we can figure out what's in the tent," Iri suggets.
"Right, yeah. You go right ahead and do that..." Saden says as she goes prone and starts taking careful aim. "Annnnd as soon as this goes horribly wrong, I'll be ready to pop one in the head. Run along, now."

Crystalis thinks for a minute before walking over to Terrace and biting her hand, drawing some blood from it. "Ow! What the hell...!?" Crystalis then rubs his side against her bleeding hand and licks the blood off his teeth so they're clean. With a fake wound, he then begins to limp toward the two strangers, whining in pain. "Stupid dog." Terrace grumbles as she tears off part of her shirts and wraps it around her hand as a bandage.

Crystalis limps towards the campfire, as the two men immediately stand up, grabbing their axe. Saden hides in the shadows and takes aim...
Man 1: "Damn it... The wolves sounded farther than that..."
Man 2: "Wait... He's hurt..."
Man 1: "Huh? Did he flee from The Butcher? Is that thing here.?"
Iri reveals himself, walking behind Crystalis, the two men seem to be lowering their guard, looking at each other. Saden doesn't shoot yet.
Man 1: "Is that wolf... yours?"
Man 2: "Who the hell are you? We can't let you pass here. Turn back."
Iri looks at the tent. There's no angle to see inside it.
Terrace bandages her arm, she's still in the shadows.

...It's up to you, Crow. Your bullshit better be good. Tell me if you need Crystalis to do something.
Terrace is going to hold her sword ready, but stay quiet in case she needs to jump one of those guys.

"I wouldn't say he's mine, he pretty much does what he wants..." Iri says. He nods at their fire. "Mind if I borrow your campfire for a bit, at least? I'd like to get a better look at him in the light, y'know, warm up a bit."
If they let him, Iri's going to pretend to examine Crystallis. Try to make some small talk, y'know, can you tell me where I am, I'm a bit lost...

Terrace grabs her sword, getting ready. The men look at each other and shrug.
Man 1: "Sure, take one of the chair and look at your wolf."
Man 2: "We have no medical supplies to spare though. We're mercenaries. We get paid, we don't share."
The first Mercenary lets Iri and Crystalis approach the fire, then start walking around the perimeter, paying attention to the shadows. The second mercenary is looking at Iri, not taking a single glance away from him. With his arms crossed, he seems really serious.
Mercenary 2: "What do you mean where are you? If it wasn't obvious with the flat ground, you're in the plains..."
