Sorry I don't know if I still have an opportunity attack or if that's the goblin Asher just killed. I know combat is a bit wonky in PBP but as I play catch up I'm lost for which turn is actually in play.
The goblin you had an AoO on was #3, and I think Dario got #6 so #3 is the one Ash attacked above. I'm not sure what constitutes a hit though and your op attk comes first in the play order (goblin move is ahead ofs ash move and is what triggered the oportopport) so no harm rolling it to make sure he's down.

Scupper looks up in surprise at the Goblin and sees the fear in its eyes as it turns to run. A smile quickly spreads over his face as he thrusts with his rapier. Attack - 7 Damage 5
May all the devils take ye!
Well ok then...if the rolls are good and I kill it, I'd say Asher shows up just in time to flog a dead goblin and overkill the little bastard before his corpse can hit the ground?...if I miss he does the deed? [edit] but it looks like I missed anyway :) [edit}
OOC: I'm gunna be on the road most of today and then camping for about five days ( I hate camping so... yay.) so I will be intermitent. While camping will hotspot twice a day to catch up. If you need to have the story move along just roll a D20: 1-10 Vaz does something vaguely stupid 11-15 Vaz does something involving fire. 16-20 Vaz saves the day or believes he did.
Vaz:
Varinth couches and runs over to Soodi and takes cover on her right flank.
Are they still firing? he shouts as he run/waddles over to Soodi.

Dario watches the his arrow pierce the goblin's heart, it's eyes staring into Asher's glaive as blood foams out of the corner of its upturned mouth. Dario quickly turns towards Goblin 3's direction and watches Scupper's attack.
If Scupper is a success or at least slows the goblin down, Dario will fire his long bow at Goblin 3. If Goblin 3 gets away Dario will rush after him with Strix and will try to fire at the Goblin.
Goblin 3 evades Scupper's parting blow, and manages to get a fair distance away, headed north away from the road into the forest. Asher races after it, but stumbles and misses with his glaive. Just as the goblin appears to have got away, Dario's arrow strikes it, and it falls.
As far as you can tell, there are no enemies remaining standing. There are the bodies of six goblins, lying here and there in the forest, some near the road.
There are a few things you might want to do now. This was your first combat as a group; your character might have opinions about their own performance or what they saw of others - this was their first chance to see each other fighting. You could also check the surrounding area, the bodies of the goblins, or the horses. Your characters will also probably talk about what they want to do next.

Dario walks over to Goblin 3 and pulls out his arrow from the creatures back. He wipes the head clean on his pants leg and places the arrow back in his quiver. He leans over the Goblin and investigates it for any clues. After searching Goblin 3 Dario goes over and investigates the other dead Goblins for clues.
Dario, as you are searching Goblin 3 (which fell about 30 feet off the road), you notice what appear to be tracks: make a Survival check.
On the six goblins' bodies, all together you find 82 copper pieces and 10 silver pieces. They're not carrying any rations or much equipment with them. Their weapons (four scimitars and two shortbows) are poorly made and old; you might get a few coppers for the scimitars as scrap metal.
Mistweaver casts a spell Goodberry and creates 10 magical berries, which will each heal 1 HP. She offers them to any who have been wounded. No, she says to Vaz as he walks over to Soodi, I believe this battle has come to its end. You hear a note of sadness in her voice.
Vaz, Soodi greets you with a sniff, and then resumes eating the grass she found.
"Well, I'll be kissing the gunner's daughter! You know them we bastards is a lot more trouble than most folks says. I feel like a wee prat myself getttin' sliced across and shot broadside for good measure. Thanks to whoever magicked me back to the world of the living."
Scupper sets about getting the horses and cart back on the road.
Scupper, it takes you a little time, but you manage to get the horses to back up and the wagon, seemingly undamaged, is back on the road. You get the sense that the horse on the right, who you drove into a goblin, is giving you side-eye.

Strix, his beak buried in the ragged strips of skin and fleshen clumps that were until recently a face, suddenly realises what he's doing. He gingerly withdraws even as he reasserts himself, pushing the animal back into its cage, his visage resuming it's original form (one even a mother couldn't bring herself to love but still nonetheless more acceptable in polite society) with a series of sickening cracks and slurps. He pats the rent mess of goblin #1's head back into shape as best he can, muttering "there, there".
Wandering back towards the road (recovering the arrow from Goblin 2 on the way if not already done) he does his best to clean the blood and viscera from his nose and mouth chanting "Ifeelmyheartsbeatslowsteadycalmitistheheartofamanthoughthebeastsbeatsraggedthefenceishighthechainisshort" as he goes, slowing and straightening his gait. As he approaches the cart he offers the arrow back to Dario. "Nice shot. My thanks."
Don't want to bogart the berries! I'm down by 4 HP, how about the rest of you?
His temper back under control, Strix takes a closer look at the other wagon and it's occupants.
1D20 :19, with +5 for perception or insight, -1 for investigation as appropriate.
Strix goes to inspect the two horses that are lying in the road; he searches the area briefly but finds no other wagon or cart, and from the tracks it appears that these were just two horses with riders.
Strix, it appears the horses were almost certainly killed by arrows, as several arrows are still sticking out of them. It doesn't appear that they've been moved since they died. The arrows match the ones shot by the goblin archers during your recent battles. On the ground near the horses is a leather map case; it's empty, but you notice that it looks quite expensive, though probably less expensive now given its age, and has a crest which you don't recognise.

Dario hands quickly go through the pockets and pouches of Goblin 3. Out of the corner of his eye he thinks he sees a trail that the Goblin was heading towards.
Sorry, mixed up the halflings and their cart with the dead horses!
Assuming it's a tubular map case and not a satchel-style one...
Strix pulls the two arrows out of the horses, cleans the heads and then stows them in the map case which he slings over his back like a quiver. Now looking a little more like he belongs scouting with the ranger and the druid, he coos a little and struts back to the wagon.
I think only Strix and Scupper took damage. I'm still at full HP so as far as healing and the goodberry's go, you guys can have at it.
"Archer, Bird man" Asher says to Dario and Strix as he clips his glaive onto his back and patting off his kimono. "How easily can you track where these goblins came from or where they are going? If the tracks look like we could run into them again on the road, it may be smarter for us to initiate the attack and defeat them before they attempt an attack on us while we're driving, or worse, sleeping."
Dario, you can see that a trail begins a little way off the main road, and heads north. The trail appears to be used regularly by goblins, for at least several weeks. You can also tell that a group of goblins, perhaps ten or twelve individuals, moved north along the trail the previous evening; it appears that they were dragging two larger bodies with them.
Strix, the map case does function successfully as a quiver, but isn't very big - it can probably hold up to ten arrows.
Assuming Dario relays the information to the group: Asher asks, "From the trail, does it look like the bodies being dragged were moving or struggling at all, as if to lead the assumption of them still being alive?"
After finishing searching Goblin 3, Dario walks over to the trail that heads north. Dario kneels down and closely examines the torn branches of a tree and the several footprints on the trail floor. He looks in the direction of where the trail leads to, trying to imagine a small platoon of goblins marching back and forth along those lines. He notices large swaths of grass has been trampled on, most like by bodies being dragged, probably two of them.
Dario walks over to the others as they gather to split the booty from the fight. "It looks like those goblins came from a trail that leads north up ahead," Dario says to the group. He continues, "from what I could gather it's around twelve goblins. Maybe less now that we have cutdown six of them. Which reminds me, if we do come across these goblins again let's try to capture one to interrogate. My tracking skills can only tell us so much." Dario scratches his head and looks over his shoulder toward the trail and then turns back to the group. "I think they're dragging two bodies too."
Asher asks, "From the trail, does it look like the bodies being dragged were moving or struggling at all, as if to lead the assumption of them still being alive?"
Dario mulls over Asher's question. "Whomever was taken were dragged unconscious. The signs don't point to a struggle,"Dario answers. "I personally think we should investigate further up the trail."
