Without Heroic Archer, an archer running away isn't much of a threat. If you've forced them to spend their actions moving then they aren't attacking or doing anything to facilitate their attacks.


I have had a couple of ideas that others haven't mentioned, soak the arrows until you die and surrender/talk to them.

When I say "just die" I mean let the GM have his fun and kill, or cripple, the characters. I hope he has an interesting plan for the characters after that. Or he is bored of the game and wants to do something else.

Earlier you mentioned that you were looking for better equipment. Bandits should know where to get good equipment. So they might make a good source of information for your future plans.
