Boo makes no attempt to resist the grapple... and goes limp offering no resistance nor does she struggle with the scimitar pointed her way. Just silently smiles up at them...
Boo does however telepathically relay what just happened to her to Guido telling him to relay that to the team he is with and not to worry she will try to divert her captors away from her team to give them time to continue looking for the crates, hopefully. Boo will tell Guido she will try to keep them updated and later if she is not dead see if she cannot provide more info, see how things go and if they kill her the other team will know as Guido will disappear.
The two DCFs that have grabbed Boo restrain her, effectively preventing somatic components for the time being.
The final one leans forward. Beneath the cowl, she can see the glinting red eyes and lightly tanned skin of the figure, and what appears to be pointed ears between the hood and the scarf over the face. The scimitar draws close to several vital points near Boo's neck, she can tell this person knows where to stab.
"Your companions. How many? Speak and you may survive tonight, halfling."
(If you'd like to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw, with advantage thanks to being a halfling, against the interrogation to not be frightened.)
Boo Wisdom Saving Throw 10against the interrogation to not be frightened
Boo looks at them terrified, starting to cry, tears pouring from her large innocent eyes, "don't you guys know who I am? Can't you see a certain family resemblance to the greatest criminal mastermind and crimelord Sharn has ever known??? Companions??? Suckers, chumps, dupes, you mean, those five losers are still picking through the train looking, didn't even see me dump the goods into a portable hole and toss it over the side a few clicks back for pickup. I thought you guys were my ride."
As usual, when I need a roll I totally hit a major bad run of rotten luck, oh well. Even so, Boo throws all the above as she cries all out at once lying about who she is and about the goods but telling the truth about the number of companions which is the question they asked thus even failing to deceive perhaps she still told the truth to their question so hopefully leave them a tad confused, we will see. :)
(Since Boo started practically screaming, does Eldin detect something wrong here? He doesn't have to hear what she's saying, just that someone is saying something.
Boo isn't screaming, per say, and is on a different vehicle so it's kinda like trying to listen into a conversation from the car in the next lane. However, you did notice that she suddenly is gone, which is suspicious within itself. Feel free to act upon that.
Though, with your passive Investigation (and anyone else with Passive Investigation 13 or higher), you note there is a slight blood splatter where Boo was just standing. (She did get impaled by a crossbow and rope. It wan't nice.)
OOC: I totally agree with @Poke'scall, I never once stated in my post for Boo that she was screaming, practically or otherwise! Just crying with tears streaming down her eyes so don't see the leap from that to screaming, if anything more whimpering and crying especially with a point of scimitar pointed at her, starting to scream would most likely be taken as an invitation for them to shut her up or just run the blade through her throat... and as Poke mentions... a conversation from the car in the next lane.
Carrick rushes outside to see Boo being held at bladepoint. In a rush, he fires two shots at the one holding the scimitar. They manage to not hit the halfling, striking the shrouded figure. (DCF #6: 14 damage.) However, it would take his full movement to get there after looking around in the carriage, so is outside still.
Majin goes over to see what Carrick is doing, seeing him fire off two shots. He can make it to the doorway and just about see the sky coach. The driver's position is covered, so the driver isn't visible to the party from their position.
Boo hears Carrick'svoice shout... and then watches as two crossbow bolts narrowly miss her and sink deep into the darkly cowled scimitar wielding figure standing over her!!! Shocked and angry, the Halfing cries out rather indignantly... and screams Carricks last word... throwing it back in his direction at him, "*******... is it? I will show you who the ******* is!"Still half terrified her eyes wide meeting her capture's gaze peeking out of the scarf over his face, Boo lays under him and tries to shrug innocently, "sorrrrrry..." she stammers a rather half-hearted apology. "I guess they weren't such stupid chumps after all and figured out the switch I pulled on them and now coming after me!!! Oh, this is rich... you guys think I am with them and they think I am with you, how hilarious is that?"Still crying in fear Boo starts to giggle... laughing and crying hysterically as she waits for the twit to count how many come rushing out of the carriage to see that she was telling the truth about how many there are. As they say, ever good lie includes a grain of truth, but not being one of her best lies, at least may prove convincing enough to give them pause for doubting anything else that came or comes out of her mouth.
Eldin will use his bonus action to dash out. How much of the sky coach and the people on it can he see? Will take his action based on this information.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Majin's bullet fires off at the scimitar wielding figure, striking both of the figure's shoulders. They stagger from the impact, nearly slicing Boo's throat in the process. (DCF #6: 32 damage)
(This point their readied action goes off)
The figure, now badly wounded, takes hold of the ropes that are connected to Boo and shoves the halfling off of the side of the sky coach! (Boo, if you would like to make a DC 24 Athletics or Acrobatics check to try and resist being pushed off of the ledge, now's a good time to do so...)
There isn't much noise over what they have been doing, and there's no windows in this carriage. The six DCFs have acted as above.

(Yeah, misread that. My bad)
I think I will wait and see what the others do before I take Eldin's turn.
Carrick is pretty startled by the fact that one of his companions just up and vanished. “What the ****?!”
He’s going to stop looking through the car and start reaching for his crossbow, but he’s not going to do more until his turn.

(It is effectively everyone's turns. Feel free to take them!)
Carrick is going to walk on out to the platform and take two shots at the DCF with the scimitar. "Take this, *******!"
Attack: 15 Damage: 10
Attack: 19 Damage: 10
And if he can, he'll step back in to the car so that he's not standing out in the open.
Carrick will opt to spend his first Hero Point on that first attack, because he really wants to kill scimitar guy.
