Olaf enters the courtyard to see only Mads and Taines on their feet -- the remainder of the party members, and five Hobgoblin fighters, are all soundly asleep exactly where they succumbed to Ulric's sorcery.
Drawing his sword and grimly turning it point-down hilt-up, Olaf approaches the first of the ensorcelled enemy and drives his blade down into the hapless warrior's neck, leaning on it heavily. The is a nasty, gurgling crunch as the Hobgoblin's piggy eyes pop wide open as he chokes off a ruined scream, and then his quivering limbs drop still.
Olaf pulls back his blade, loosing a splatter of black gore as he does so, and hardens his resolve to continue... four Hobgoblin fighters remain.
Meanwhile, Mads and Taines awaken Caine and Crystin respectively.
Ulric enters the courtyard and goes immediately to Dieter's side. The fighting-man is beaten and bruised about the head -- his helm dented in savagely on the left side surely saved his life. For now he is soundly unconscious.
"Ho the courtyard!" calls Anwyn from above, "The Captain escapes with a prisoner!" She indicates away southward, and then appears to put an arrow to her bow before vanishing from sight...
