Also, speaking of bandits. 

Random encounters while on the road that are just basic combat (usually there will just be one random encounter (not all random encounters being combat) while on the road unless there is something current adventure relevant or interesting on the way.)

For combat encounters on the road do you guys want to play them out or do Auto Resolve (It wouldn't kill you unless you are in bad shape already, just a basic I roll your guy's combat skills against the enemy's defense and roll theirs against your defense and the better you do above them the sooner you finish them off and the worse they do the less damage you all sustained during the combat). 

Playing them out makes for nice traveling RP situations, but auto-resolve lets us get to the more interesting stuff more quickly (and let us have more on the road encounters)
