"We can't just welcome them into the group with open arms." Ralph said. "They tried to kill us. We've got to keep an eye on them, at the very least."
As much as he didn't trust them, Tony was somewhat right. If they were going to get rid of Humanity's Hope, they would need all the help they could get. Even if they were bandits, they were the only ones who would join them, at this point.

Deravan asked how the hunting went, taking Ralph's mind of the bandits for a moment. "Well, we got attacked by a golem with a crossbow, and you can see the result." He gestured towards the arrow sticking out of his shoulder. "Oh, and speaking of which, I need someone to pull this arrow out. I'm no expert, but I don't think this'll heal properly if I leave it in."

Meanwhile, the rest of the group was interrogating Michelle. Mike asked her whether or not she'd called for backup, and she didn't answer at first. A bolt of electricity was enough to solve that problem. She told them that she could've called for backup, but didn't.
"Hold up." Ralph said. "What do you mean, 'you could have'? Do you have telepathy or something?"
Michelle could be more of a threat than they originally thought. If she could contact the other Humanity's Hope members, then she could tell them exactly where they were hiding. They could get attacked at any moment.
