Just a note from the loot from the mage and iron circle guards previously. There was a potion of healing, did anyone take it or do we assume we gave it to the tank?

We can assume that, yep. I don't recall anyone taking it.
Esa's magic missiles slam into a goblin who was peeking out the window, he falls from the window with a stock sound effect.
The goblin fighting Stryke takes the disengage action and zips past Augustin and flees towards the big house. There are two other goblins leaving houses and fleeing also.
Grimbald will intercept any he can, either missile or melee, leaving those he thinks others could hit. he wont pursue to the big house though. He suspects an ambush.
"I saw them run into that house, indicating the building Grimbald entered, but. I didn't see them for the time I was there." Grimbald reflects on his appearance as the disguise starts to fade. "best we get the kids and seek some rest out of town, can the owl keep watch on movements in town?"

Esa suggests some of us stay to watch the goblin building in case the goblins try to flee or set up an ambush while we aren't looking. The others could get the kids to a safer building on the outskirts perhaps.
She also approaches Augustin with annoyed look on her face, staring him down.
Augustin sighs and looks away from Esa. "The battle didn't exactly go the way I planned. In the stories the battles are won with heroic actions and the outcome is never in doubt. In real life it's more... edgy, I seriously thought we could have all died at some point. But we got through it together. That's where the heroism lies, in trusting each other. Even when I was down bleeding, when it wasn't looking good, we all trusted each other with our lives. That's what got us through. But yeah, things could have gone better. We should maybe review our tactics."
While Esa and Vakiel and the fey owl keep an eye on the village, particularly the goblin mansion, Grimbald leads Stryke and Augustin into the building where the children ran into. They searched around but couldn't find them. Augustin called out in his calm, pleasing voice, the one that inspired trust. A trap door opened and the boy and the girl came out warily. The trap door was cunningly hidden, it would have been very difficult to detect.
The boy said his name was Lars and he was 13 years old. The girl was Nina who was 9 and when the village of Marl was a community, Lars and Nina were neighbours. Neither knew where their parents were, they were told to hide in the bunker. There was another boy Jayce, another neighbour, who said he was leaving to see what was happening, but he never came back. Lars and Nina stayed as long as they could, but eventually the food and water ran out, so they had to risk it. Which was when the party had first seen them.

Con save for the goblins due to moonbeam.
Goblin 1 - 5.
Goblin 2 - 11.
Both Goblins are dead.
This leaves just the one goblin on Stryke, now looking scared and ready to bolt.
And three goblin snipers, probably also thinking maybe it's time to leave.
We can assume that, yep. I don't recall anyone taking it.
Esa sees movement in a window as a goblin looks to see what is going on and the fairy lets loose with the magic missile.
Also can you give me a perception check for Esa please.
14 damage for the missiles

Grimbald can turn into a swirly whirlwind of leaves and teleport to an advantageous position and shoot at the retreating goblins.
Hand crossbow Attack: 24 Damage: 11 with hunters mark
Your hand crossbow jams up and you lose a round while you fix it. While you do so the goblins disappear into the biggest building in the village.
We're out of combat now.
What does the party want to do.
There are three goblins (at least) in the main building.
Stryke asks if anyone knows where the boy and girl ended up?
and suggests we all get into one of the houses for cover, preferably one with a second story

only for an hour
Esa suggests some of us stay to watch the goblin building in case the goblins try to flee or set up an ambush while we aren't looking. The others could get the kids to a safer building on the outskirts perhaps.

can the owl do that?

Unless the party want to ask them more questions, Lars and Nina can be escorted to where Fernie waits with the cart.
Is there any equipment or anything useful left in the bunker? Oil flasks or anything like that?
"Could Jayce be hiding in another bunker you know of, we'll have a look for him" Otherwise we need a short rest.
