Armor penalty very much applies to the Stealth check of the combat event I guess?

On the bandits bit, if one PC manages the Hunting and Investigation rolls, can that PC warn / advise others?

A scene-setting fluff question!

Is the rescue expedition pretty much made up of just the PCs and named NPCs? Or are there also some number of minor/background NPCs of whom we should be aware?

Wears: Simple clothing, pearl and coral jewelry, copper coin bracelet; light armor when expecting danger.

It is only necessary for one pc to pass the hunting roll, the investigation roll allows you enough heads up to use stealth. This step must be passed by each individual for that person to hide before the fighting starts.

Kind of, thats basically what you are doing if everyone passes all three rolls.

In the Bandits thread, would I be able to "vanish" amid the combat?

you would have to move 20 feet away from them into the wooded areas (which are moderately difficult terrain) and make a tn 30 stealth check as a simple action.

As a follow-up, would hiding and reentering allow me to activate such Techs as Tengoku's Justice?
