She dodges both men's swings easily. She retorts, "I insisted you go first on the bleeding, but on that, it's my turn" and swings her warhammer at Tored's face.
The long haired man takes a slash across his face that cuts deep; you’re not able to complete the swing as the scimitar gets stuck in his skull. As his lifeless body falls to the ground, you manage to tug your weapon free. It drips with blood and brain matter.
Seeing Jalt go down again is like a kick in the gut. Stowing her bow she runs forward to stand over him (or more likely on top of him if that won't cause any damage -- she's pretty little) and will stab at the stocky guy with her shortsword.
The stocky man takes the short sword in his chest, missing his heart but drawing a spurt of blood. He’s badly wounded and knows he won’t last long. He uses his action to disengage and runs thirty feet east.
Tored, now alone, looks at the man and makes a split decision: 9
He follows suit; disengaging and running thirty feet to the east.
Soar is up, and as her initiative was higher than Jalt’s, she can act before Jalt’s death saving throw if you wish.
Soar briefly gives a worried look at the two men as they run off, wishing she had a chance to swipe at them, but her concern is with her friend who has had a bad night turn even worse. "Wouldn't be able to javelin them from here anyways, and we've got to get back. Honestly had enough killing for one night but if one of you wants to make sure they don't bring down the whole cult on our heads, go ahead."
She drops down and tosses a goodberry in Jalt's mouth to get him back out of danger, and if she can, moves over to the woman who seemed in charge that Breena cut down and pinning her arms down with her knees, using lay on hands on her for one hp, hoping some of Kelemvor's light helps to clear her mind. If she can't use lay on hands this round, she'll wait for the next round, or wait for someone else to use a goodberry.
Badger looks down from her position standing on Jalt's chest to see him coming around. She hops to the ground, drops to her knees and throws herself back on top of his chest to hug him. "Don't do that again! You scared me."
(Soar did use her movement over to kneel on the woman in charge's arms and hopefully revive her with lay on hands - if not she asks someone else to put a goodberry down her throats to revive her before she is gone forever and Jalt's trials were in vain.)
[Edit after missing a PM, my apologies: Soar sees that the cultists are too far gone for a goodberry and after dropping one in Jalt's mouth to revive him, she blurts out "we still need one or all this pain's for nothing!"and she takes off after Tored and his compatriot, hoisting her final javelin, unless she was able to grab her other one from the chest of the other cultist Soar killed, and trying to prepare to hit one of the thugs with nonlethal damage once she has her action on her turn, or once one of her companions can fire at them at longer range.]
Jalt's eyes open abruptly and he notices Badger hugging him. I didnt mean to scare you little one.But..He grabs her hand and uses her to help himself up. Were we successful?

Elspeth seemed ready to move to chase after the fleeing raiders, but stops herself whe she sees Jalt stirring.
"Glad to see you're with us." She drops her bag of goodberries near Jalt, other hand still holding her weapon tightly. "You need to patch yourself up. We're still working on the prisoner situation."
With that, Elspeth uses her sling to lob a stone at the stocky man, on her turn, to prevent him from fleeing.
“Wellllllll.... not exactly,” Breena says, “We’re still working on that part. C’mon.”
There’s no way Badger can catch up to them, so she’s going to go as far as she can and try to fire an arrow into the ground in front of Tored’s feet to get him to stop running.
Attack: 7 Damage: 6
(I just rolled it like normal in case of a crit1 but I’m NOT aiming for him, just hoping to startle him into stoping so someone can do non-lethal damage. If I need to roll something else, let me know.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Soar gave one to Jalt to wake him up.
As soon as he drops, Soar listens and looks around for anyone visible or making noise: perception 16
She quickly searches the body of the other guy, and picks up Tored and carries him back to the others. (Athletics: 13)
When she gets back, she says, "Jalt, good to see you up, please have more goodberries. I knew we could do this. Late-night abductions are my favorite. Hopefully he can give us some information. Let's get going." She takes Tored's weapons, asks Badger or Elspeth to tie him by his arms and legs and gag him, and then hoists him again.
"Seems to kobold did right by us, and I have no quarrel with him if he wants to skip town, and promise to pursue his dreams as a tailor, or a rock collector, or maybe a zen master, as long as it doesn't involve sacking anymore towns. Unless someone wanted to ask him more questions."
She nods another thanks to Clara, and is ready to follow her and return to the keep.

Attack: 9 Damage: 6
Tored, though bloodied and close to falling, manages to avoid Soar's warhammer by a couple of inches.
Round Four
A: Breena and Elspeth
B: Tored, Long-haired man, Stocky man
C: Soar and Jalt (unconscious, with one failed death save)
Elspeth and Badger are up.
Elspeth, frustrated by her lack of progress, reverses her hold and swipes at the face of the long haired man.
Attack: 21 Damage: 11
The long haired man takes a slash across his face that cuts deep; you’re not able to complete the swing as the scimitar gets stuck in his skull. As his lifeless body falls to the ground, you manage to tug your weapon free. It drips with blood and brain matter.

Jalt revives with one hit point as Soar pushes the berry down his throat. You can also use your movement if you wish.
Jalt is up (but also prone).
Badger looks down from her position standing on Jalt's chest to see him coming around. She hops to the ground, drops to her knees and throws herself back on top of his chest to hug him. "Don't do that again! You scared me."

Soar, you're able to keep on Tored's tail quite effectively. You will be in melee range with him next round, unless he moves.
Jalt comes to consciousness.
Round Five
A: Breena and Elspeth
B: Tored, Stocky man
C: Soar and Jalt
Elspeth takes down the stocky man with a well aimed rock to the head, delivered at breakneck speed.
Badger is up.
“Wellllllll.... not exactly,” Breena says, “We’re still working on that part. C’mon.”

The arrow doesn't slow Tored's flight. In fact, he recklessly attempts to flee from Soar's reach.
Soar, you can make an Opportunity Attack if you wish, also non-lethal if you wish.
Soar says "no you don't!" as Tored flees, and tries to knock him on the back of the head with her hammer without killing him.
Attack: 14 Damage: 9
*Bonk*
With almost comic panache, Tored collapses, unconscious but alive, to the ground.
Combat is over.
(How many good berries in the bag?)
