I worded it terribly, after giving it a second look. Let me correct what I meant:

Vernal is a Maiden and a bandit. Why would she run away? The only time I could see her trying to run away is if she was defeated by Ozpin's group. So if she runs away, then RNJR and co need to have beaten her first, otherwise it'd be incredibly stupid and unnecesary.

Raven's bandits aside from Vernal are so weak and unskilled that even Ruby alone can handle them just fine, and that's if they even tried to fight, considering how they shit their pants with just Yang sending 1 guy flying and Weiss breaking free from her puny cage.

So really, it's just Vernal vs ORNJR, and whoever Qrow brought along. Or depending on how things go, Vernal vs ORNJRWY. 1 Maiden who has spent decades fighting weak villagers, versus 7 Huntsmen:

>One of which can absorb her Lightning if she chooses to use it. And has Ruby (and potentially Weiss) to provide her Lightning to buff herself, like Nora and Ruby did against Tyrian.

>One of which has a Knight summon to turn it into a 1 vs 8. Hell, the Knight alone could handle the Bandits and leave the real fighting to everyone else.

>One of which has enough skill to have gone toe-to-toe with the Fall Maiden alone, and doing just fine for the most part.

Raven is out of the equation since Qrow can handle her alone, or at least should be expected to since they should have a similar skill and power level. Ozpin's only problem is Oscar's body not having Huntsman training, but they're working on that already.

Overall, everything says that Ozpin and co. have a good more chances of winning even as they are, than their chances are of losing, all thanks to Raven's bandits being super-shit against even Rookie Huntsmen.

Could they bring more people? Yes. Would it be useful? Yes. But thanks to Raven's bandits's outstanding performance in this episode, and the fact that RNJR and Friends are training and getting better, it feels unnecesary. They are literally overestimating Raven's group.
