Killian hops off his horse, hitches it to one of the non-burning wagons, looks at the area briefly, and then proclaims, "It be lookin' like tha gooblins mighta took off that'a'way.
See how the gooblins came from tha east brush, and these gooblins here *pointing at some that are dead* be lookin' like they were runnin' back thare."

Killian shoulders his pack off his horse and takes his weapons, asking the others "Anyone'a'you's wantin' ta join me in gooin' aftar these wee gooblins? "
After a searching the ground for tracks and clues Killian come to the aformentioned opinion (Search roll 9 no modifiers). To Hral (roll 3+5=8), Saxon (roll 2+7=9), and their wolves Kjanta (roll4+5=9), and Mzarem (roll 6+5=11) come to no conclusion of thier own, it seems, in the
dark, among the debris they see plainly there are tracks, but cannot make heads nor tails of them.
It is Derek who agrees that maybe a score of goblins (and a few bigger humanoids he would wager to be Orcs) came in from the east and ambushed the caravan, and there was a bit of a fight. It looks like some of the caravan, drivers and possably a few guards fled into the clear fields to the west. It appears they were not persued. The wagons were ransacked after the fight and presumably the really valuable stuff was taken along with some prisoners (yikes) back again into the brush, where they attempted to hide thier tracks. The goblins did not die running back, but in the midst of combat. Indeed the enemy seemed to take their time leaving once the situation was in their control. The tracks have been made within the last 8 hours (roll 15+6=21).
Torillian found no clear blood trail...lots of blood...but no discernable trail...until Derek pointed it out, but alerts the party that Kira has spotted the path easily headed further to the briars eastward (roll17=14=31) but no movement can be seen on it.
Kreeg checks on the obvious five bodies first, and finding them not alive quickly looks around the site, but can not find any other bodies, alive or dead, here.
Following after Kreeg, Krug studies the remains. All five defenders were human. Four appeared to be big burly fighter types and died in combat. The fifth looks to be an aristocrat, his hands are bound and has 5 arrows sticking out of his chest. Execution? They have all been stripped of equipment (armor, weapons, pouches, everything) Of the goblins you can not tell anything particularly telling.(roll 14+6=20)
Aravalir does not see any signs of ambush or survivors within his low-light-line-of-sight.
Actions?
