Dolgrim gets up and moves over to the ogre/giant's body and takes a closer look: does he have anything of interest on him?

The ogre is wearing nothing but his loin cloth.

Dolgrim wipes his hand axe clean with the loin cloth and checks the blade for any dents or chips. "Got him good, indeed..." he murmurs to himself. Turning to Guntram, Grimma, Fenwick and Bart: "So, where did the other one go?"

Fenwick peeks from behind his tree. I didn't see where he went. Anyone here a tracker?

Consumed by hatred for these creatures and wanting nothing more than to rid the lands of them Gerhard releases an arrow at the goblin. And will continue with more arrows until it is dead.

Oberon stands ready with Skull-breaker whilst Gerhard riddles the evil foe with arrows.

In the unlikely event the goblin isn't pin-cushioned into submission and makes a bid to either flee or attack Gerhard, Oberon will pursue or intervene as required. Until then Oberon yells at the surviving goblin in common: "Put down your weapon you nasty wee beastie; any information you have might be worth your sorry life! You can't out run a Gerhard arrow. Surrender now!"

OCC: by glancing at the dying fire and surrounds does it appear that this goblin accounts for the last of the campers?

Yes, the camp is not that far away. The rest of you hear both the sound of arrows being loosed and Oberon's yelling.

Gerhard lets loose with a volley of arrows, one strikes the goblin true, making him wince. He lets go of the sack and charges both of you, much more quickly than you anticipate. He aims for Oberon, but his attack hits only air as Oberon deftly steps aside. Oberon strikes back, scoring a glancing blow with skull-crusher. Gerhard drops his bow and ends the pitiful creature's life with his handaxe.

If the party is joining you, they will arrive after this, the second round, noting the two dead goblin creatures (one sporting a fur cap), the smoldering fire, and the partially empty sack.

Hard to say with a quick glance, but examining the area after the battle you note the tracks head to and from the deer track, not elsewhere. So if there were others in the camp, the headed south before you arrived.

Dolgrim readies his hand axe and makes a dash for the camp as he hears the sound of battle.
