Sildar is slumped over a small table, bound and gagged and is clinging to consciousness. You recognize his hair and mustache, but he is badly bloodied and his armor is gone. His tattered undershirt is matted with thick blood near the neck and right hip, perhaps indicating injury, and his right hand is in a similar state, his fist a single mass of dark red.
(Alright assuming Vincent is next to Elra, and that 60 ft flying speed is enough to get over that ledge)
Elra steps around the corner to get a better look at Sildar, eyes widening, "Vincent help him," she says, sending him flying towards Sildar. Vincent passes over the goblin and lands on Sildar. Elra grasps her amulet and prays, retching out as if to touch someone that isn't there. But rather than touching any of her party Vincent's eyes briefly change to the color of Elra's as his talons begin to glow, healing energy helping to close up some of Sildar's wounds. Once this is done Vincent looks to the goblin and prepares to leap out of the way if he comes after him.
Ethan's blast pushes the goblin by the fire (G4) up against the wall with a burst of fire and smoke, the goblin crying out in pain.
Meanwhile Vincent's glowing Talons improve Sildar's state a great deal, the grizzled warrior blinking and suddenly becoming much more coherent as he looks around the room at all of you.
Two of the goblins (G4/G6) put up their hands and yell "ok! ok!"
The goblin on the other side of Sildar (Y) drops a dagger on the floor and says"we'll help you kill Klarg." "He's in charge! He has this one's friend!"
Top of the order if you are going to keep up the murdering... ;)

Apologies, that last statement was from Y. Forgot to put "(Y)" in my post originally.
I was waiting a moment longer, but since Zeke is already atop the stares, I'll give you a bit more...
Zeke notices the talkative goblin near Sildar dropped a dagger that is considerably nicer than the rest of the, ahem, junk Ethan has enjoyed collecting thus far.
Zeke whips his blade out to its full length and continues towards the Goblins flanking Sildar. He extends his wings and his eyes turn black (thaumaturgy)
'Back away and get on your knees if you want to live'
Intimidation: 10 with advantage if needed 19
Move to interpose himself between Sildar and Y - hoping to drive the goblins back at least 10' from Sildar
The following actions are dependent on no one else ahead of the goblins in initiative order choosing to simply kill them first, or incapacitate them in some way. If you would like to leave initiative order if the goblins comply,
In response to Zeke all goblins kneel and the two near Sildar back away before doing so as instructed. The one who dropped the fancy dagger says "Klarg's in charge!" "We're just following orders!"
Can’t say I want to kill the defenseless, even if they are goblins.
To the goblins:
You should leave the roads alone. Hunt in the forests, farm, fish, but leave the travelers alone. Leave and go back to your own lands. There’s bigger threats than you on these roads.
Now, where’s Gundren? Sildar was not alone. If Gundren isn’t alive, we might have to be less merciful.
(Assuming some removes Sildar's filthy gag and perhaps starts to untie him...)
"I tried to fight them off, but they took him. How did you...? I don't know where... " He still looks exhausted as he grasps for words. Closer examination of Sildar reveals that he must have had notable wounds just below the neck and around his hip, and also that his right hand is badly bloodied because a finger is missing.
The other two goblins nod frantically as Tarja lectures them about leaving and not bothering people on the roads any more. The more talkative one (Y) says "The boss has 'em. Klarg's injured though. You might be able to take 'em. He's back over the bridge."
Specifically regarding the medicine check, Sildar looks like he took two puncture wounds to the previously mentioned areas, probably arrows that have since been removed. The healing magic has closed them up well along with what is now a stub where his right pinky finger used to be. He looks battered and bruised overall, although the heal took care of much of that, so he is mostly just hungry, dehydrated, tired and a bit foggy headed now.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fae wouldn’t of taken her eyes off of G4, still staring him down as she continues her march forward into the room. Feeding off of the warrior’s rage and the power coursing through her veins, Fae would throw her head back with a maniacal cackle. Her eyes would roll into the back of her head and go as black as ink before rolling back to her piercing violet pupils (Arcane Recovery), fixed on G4. A smirk would curl up on her lips “Let’s even the playing field a little bit shall we?”. Still approaching the 3 goblins by the fire, she’d bring her arms together in front of her, thumbs touching, fingers spread. “I said, BURN!” Flames would erupt, flaring out from her outstretched palms to engulf the goblins.
Using her Arcane Recovery to free up a spell slot and casting Burning Hands on G3, G4 and G5 (as per positioning discussed with DM).
Dex save DC13 Half damage is taken on successful save. I believe the sleeping Goblins auto fail. Crit hit if I’m within 5 feet? (Not trying to push my luck though! Lol)
Damage: 4 | 1 | 5
(I’m hoping for more than just fire kisses this go lol)
Arvel'skeen social senses tell him that someone needs to take charge of this situation.
"Fae, are you alright? That was...an odd outburst for you. Regardless, we don't have time to discuss it now. Gundren is still out there and he needs us. I don't know about the rest of you, but my magics are mostly exhausted. That means we're going to have to be very careful in rescuing our employer. Sildar, I know you're going to want to contribute but you're under equipped. I believe we can give you a shield..."
He glances at Etanand gets a nod of approval.
"...and I've got this spare hammer, hardly used. Stay to the rear and don't do anything...zealous."
Ethandoesn't seem to be phased by Fae's burning of the somewhat surrendered or unconscious goblins. He doesn't appear to have any compassion for the creatures that have attacked them twice and captured and tortured their friends.
At Arvel's mention of a shield and a nod to Ethan, Ethanreturns the nod and gets out one of the shields he has collected so far, taking it over to Sildarand helping him put it on.
"Ah, I have some shortbows as well, but I didn't think to collect the arrows...so if you wanted to use a ranged weapon, your going to need to find ammo for it..."

Tarja relaxes seeing the goblins back away.

To Sildar:
Are you ok? What did they do to Gundren?
Elra approaches Sildar and starts to inspect him closely. "Don't worry I'm going to help."
