Ryner, waking up after being sent unconscious for a moment, Ryner quickly stands up and casts, Armor of Agathys on himself. Granting himself a layer of frost that seems to buff him up a little and have a small mist of cold cloak him.
Everyone within the cave is blinded for the next 3 rounds.
Wolf 1 hasn't noticed Ryner's recovery, and attempts to take another bite at Anders. Attack: 22 Damage: 7 getting a solid bite against the chain beneath the armor, and sinking into his side. The Paladin falls. (You have inspiration still)
Wolf 2, seeing Anders fall, begins to turn around, having been trained to leave enemies alive for the goblins to feast on later. But as it does so, it hears the crackle of frost as it begins to surround Ryner.
Before that, however, The shielded goblin, now aware of Salazar, charges at him, scimitar in hand, though blinded as he attempts to make his way up to the cleric. Swiping at the man where he assumed he'd be. Attack: 7 Damage: 3 Swinging through air. 1 DAOO for Salazar against the goblin (at disadvantage)
Wolf 2 finally lunges at the warlock after tryign to menage him with growls Attack: 19 Damage: 8
Landing a solid bite, but in turn the armor pulses out, and the wolf is flash-frozen. As its body lands on the ground, it shatters into a thousand pieces.
Ryner falls once more.
Salazar, it's up to you.

[OOC] 1st death save: 12 Ander's attack vs Wolf1: Attack: 23 Damage: 3
2nd attack roll:Attack: 24 Damage: 11
Perhaps the wolf hadn't savaged him as badly as thought, perhaps his own hardy fortitude helped shield him from death... or perhaps Lathander's unending grace had fallen upon him, but as Ander's eyelids fluttered open and his hand closed around the hilt of his warhammer, the newly conscious paladin rolled to the side, heaving himself to his feet and swinging his weapon across at the wolf that had bitten him.
[OOG] Lol. Oh well - I can't blame the dice gods. *Reroll made for the attack using my inspiration point.

(Well, Salazar is weaponless now, but if you allow it DM, at least in the future, I'd like to use his shield as an improvised weapon if allowed? I won't get to use my proficiency modifier for the to hit, but it would do at least a d4+STR worth of damage.)
In much of a similar blind panic, but with at least some grace from many a beating, Salazar tries to aim a right cross for where he felt the passing blade came from.

As Anders falls, only to rise once more... like a phoenix, one wolf shattered into a thousand pieces, the others back to him.... Smashing in the wolfs spine. It froze, paralyzed for a moment, before collapsing to the ground next to Ryner.
Anders was now alone in the field of corpses as Salazar was being ravaged within the cave.
Salazar takes a swing, and the goblin raises it's shield randomly, attempting to block the blow it feared was coming, and Salazars fist met with the wooden shield hard. Salazars right hand is now broken in three places. Outer, middle, and outer knuckles.
The Bugbear, raging now, at having been blinded by the clerics radiance, takes another random wild swing Attack: 22 Damage: 17 and gets lucky as hell, as the blow connects, slamming Salazars very limp body against the nearby wall. The goblin swings through the air, but Salazar is too far away to hit. Attack: 7 Damage: 7 his scimitar clanging against the wall.
2 more turns remain on blindness.

Panting with exertion, pain wracking every part of his fiber, Ander looks around the bloody scene, his eyes falling mournfully on Ryner. The paladin is just about to kneel to check for vitals, when he hears a shout and the clang of steel on stone from within the caves. Realising that the battle is still underway and that one of his companions may yet need his aid, the young templar rushes back into the cavern complex just in time to see the bugbear fell Salazar. With a righteous battlecry, Ander brings his hammer down at his villainous foe.

Feeling the rush of a weapon go by, and having heard the warcry of a man of Lathander, the Bugbear swings in the general direction that he heard it come from.
Attack: 13 Damage: 13 Missing, and smashing into the nearby wall, rocks splintering into a shower.
Trying once more, the Bugbear swings wildly Attack: 17 Damage: 9 splintering more of the wall.
The goblin rushes to the defense of it's tyrant master, spittle flying onto Anders Breastplate as the goblin attempts to slice him with it's scimitar.
Attack: 14 Damage: 7 missing by a mile.

Despite barely standing, Ander has never felt more alive than in this moment, enfused with the warmth of Lathander and certain in his actions as only a man on the brink of death can be. Deflecting both of the bugbear's swings with his shield, the paladin's hammer whips out to also block the goblin's attack, before the determined young warrior brings his weapon down in three quick successive strikes, seeking to lay these foes low so that he can check on his fallen comrades.

The bugbear through sheer luck manages to move out of the way, by accident as he prepares to retaliate. The paladin landing a solid blow as the bugbear ratchets up his own attack. The paladins blow brings the bugbear much closer to the brink than Anders thinks, if not for knowing the goblin was still nearby, he would have ran away at this point.
Taking another rounded wild swing at the paladin (Daoo) Attack: 15 Damage: 12
Missing again, but this time hitting air.
The goblin begins breathing hard, it can tell the Bugbear is weak.... it can sense it. It can sense the ferocity in the paladin. It looks around, as the light blinding it slowly fades, though still does not allow it to see clearly.... Time slows down for it. Its throat tenses up, it swallows, and strikes out!
Attack: 21 Damage: 4 missing the bugbear by quite a margin.
The bugbear retaliates against the traitorous goblin Attack: 8 Damage: 5 smashing it into a pile of mush, and roaring out it's supremacy.

A heavy roar, echoes through the cave as the warhammer hits the Bugbears jaw, dislocating it.
The tunnel shakes in response. Echoing throughout the entire cavern, alerting the goblins farther inside, who come dashing to the bridge to find out what exactly is going on. One of them wearing tribal bones, beads, feathers, and such. They stand there, staring almost in awe. The paladin glowing like the sun itself, they hold up their hands to their eyes as Anders glows brilliantly. The light, slowly, but surely fading from the paladin over the course of the next few minutes.
Carefully, the other goblins, forming a sort of Human-ladder, the Shaman steps down softly. Pulling out it's staff, and charging at Anders, staff raised high. It's breath heaving, spittle flying, it goes around the bugbears corpse, and brings it's staff down.
Prostrating itself before Anders, staff out in front of it, face slammed into the ground that was slowly filling with the blood of battle, but it acted undisturbed. The other goblins also charged, doing much the same. Prostrating themselves before Anders, shaking, whether in fear or reverence was impossible to tell. A total of 11 goblins, including the shaman were now, laying themselves on the ground, weapons in front of them submissively.
Shakily, the shaman begins speaking in passable common. Y-Y.... Human... has slain Klarg and everyone else by yourself?!... H-how haz answered been prayered... you save us.... the shaman swallows Name: Yeemik. Klarg force us to fight for him, or die... He starve us. Force us to eat human captives, or starve to death.. Keep all food to himself except prisoners... He starve us and our wolves... WHile Klarg and his wolves eat like cheiftans! You save us.... You save us..... What .. we do... for you? How can repay? Tell us! he almost looks up at Anders eyes, before slammign his face against the ground several times for his own perceived 'insolence' What can do? Please.. Saviour... Tell us...

To say that Ander is stunned by this latest development is an understatement, to say the least. One minute, blood and adrenalin are pumping through his veins having just slain the bugbear, then all of a sudden his being worshipped by a group of apparently subjugated goblins. Looking to his two fallen allies and realising his own precarious state of health, Ander feels a moment of indecision at what he should do, before realising what he must do. Turning his gaze upon the goblin spokesman, the young templar speaks in his most commanding tone,'
"Yes, you are saved. No more will you be forced to eat captives or starved of proper food. Klarg was defeated by Ander, servant of Lathander, but these fallen heros are the reason you are all free. In the Morning Lord's name, I command you - heal their wounds and make them comfortable. Then bring me any other captives that you have... living or dead."
Unsure if these goblins even have the means to heal his allies, Ander himself slumps down beside Ryner who was the first to fall and attempts to bind the man's wounds in an effort to stabilise him, before moving to Salazar to do the same.

(ooc - Based on your medicine check, you clearly care more for Salazar - Do I smell romance? JK, jk!)
Anders manages to stabilize both, though he cut the line very close with Salazar. Both of them are in stable condition, Ryner will take 1 hours to recover, while Ryner will take 4. It seems the best option is to stay nearby, though you can certainly move on if you wish.
The Goblins look at eachother stunned for a moment, before they actually 'hear' the command given. Scrambling over eachother, they run up the side following the water, until they get going across the bridge. Eventually, they come back carryign the beaten, bloody, and bruised body if Sildar Hallwinter. As well as eventually bringing out the corpses, and dismembered limbs of several other, unfortunate souls who were caught in the ambushes before the party - having taken Anders words literally, they carted out more and more until a small pile of corpses and partially eaten limbs were strewn about the cave floor. Sildars breathing was ragged, but he was stable - and he was naked. Bereft of his former glorious armor and weapons. And for now, due to his wounds, he was unconscious.
