Editing Striped Bandits

The striped bandits are a team of 3 thieves, stealing for survival. They have several approaches to the party. They will drop their loot and run if confronted.

After the first encounter with the party, the party is likely to recognize whoever they interacted with, giving disadvantage on stealth or deception if they try to

be the face again.  In all theft attempts, it will be a stealth and deception check by the bandits vs the party's highest passive insight/perception.

They make a stealth check against the party's highest passive perception. On a success, someone loses a ration.

If it's close (<5), they lose 3gp, but notice the thief.
