Round 6 cont ...
Nate looks up from the fallen goblin {b}. There is only one other goblin {f} in sight, and it is fleeing southwards. The goblins {d,e,g} that fled west from the wagon have already disappeared into the long grass and small scrubs lying beyond the road. The goblin has a head start, but Nate has the longer legs. He could catch the little runt ... He glances around to see if there is any more pressing danger when something catches his eye. One of the (human) bodies lying beside the wagon stirred.
Lisa groans and leans heavily on her staff. Blood oozes from beneath her leather jerkin.
Cromwell reaches down and pulls Sadolath up into the wagon in one easy motion. As Cromwell keeps a wary eye over the pair, the halfling begins his incantations then touches Oscar lightly on the forhead {std: cast CLW-heals 6 wounds}. Oscar jerks and thrashes around for a moment before falling still again. A moment later, his eyes open.
A shout from Archer reminds everyone that there is still one goblin {a} around, completely unhurt, and likely to be more than a little unhappy when he wakes up. Sadolath thinks that that will be in less than half a minute.
ooc: Would you like me to wrap it all up here and just shunt you along to the town, or just keep moving along normally till I have to leave, then pick it up from there.
notes:
~ the wagon is still fully operational, but you would need to use your own horses to pull it.
~ Lisa has lost 2/3 of her hit points.
~ Goblins {a & c} are dying. All the other goblins have run off.
~ There are three bodies beside the wagon, two human and a dwarf. One of the humans is negative but stable. The rest are dead. There is one more dead human further down the road (about 60 feet back).

"Sadoloth," barks Cromwell, "See if you can't keep that damned warlock of theirs from leaving this world just yet. He might know something." He turns to the Oscar. He's glad he's alive, but angered by his stupid mistake. "Make yourself useful. Bind the sleeping one. Lisa, come here and we'll see about that would. Nate, see if you can make the survivor," he points to the man, "comfortable. The rest of you, keep an eye out on the perimeter. When we're done here, we'll load the bodies and bring them to the next town for burial."

Cromwell responds to his two nominal subordinates. "Right. Get to it."
If Sadoloth can't try and keep them alive for questioning, not being "here", then Cromwell will with his newly bumped up heal skill.
Heal +3.

Sadolath flinches as Cromwell barks in his ear. Something flashes across his face, but is gone too quickly for Cromwell to understand what it was. Sadolath glances across at the sleeping goblin, who lies between the wagon and wounded spellcaster.
"Oscar should rest. And he's in no condition to deal with the sleeper if he wakes up."
Meanwhile, Hewik jog-trots over to towards the survivor. As he closes with Lisa who stands between him and the wagon he notices the blood staining her jerkin and pants and he slows to a walk. Lisa shakes off his concerned look and waves him on.
"Its just a scratch. Looks worse than it is. See to the survivor. I'll be right behind you."
Hewik moves off and Lisa turns and walks carefully after him, her face carefully expressionless. Hewik finds a middle aged man sprawled on the ground a dozen feet from the wagon. He's been run through the side with a javlin, and his head a face is covered with blood. Its that which probably saved his life, because despite looking lethal, it is not as bad as it seems. Hewik has dealt with worse on his goats. But the javlin wound is more difficult. Hewik saw something like it when one of the goats fell off a rock and speared itself on a broken branch at the bottom. The goat died. Hewik pushes those thoughts aside and concentrates on the task at hand. A short while later he settles back on his haunches and wipes his bloody hands on the grass. The man still breathes.

Archer nocks another arrow and, drawing it up into a shooting position takes a couple of steps in the direction of the sleeping goblin. The goblin rolls onto his side and Archer releases, nearly plugging him with a arrow.
"
!"
The arrow buries itself in the ground just inches from the creature.
Like the other goblin atop the wagon, this one also dressed in an unsual armour. It looks almost like its made of bone pieces. Beside him lies a javlin and wicked looking battle axe.
Archer looks over expectantly at Cromwell.
Nate moves over to where the bodies lie beside the wagon. They are both dead. Weapons lie in the grass nearby.
