Hip hip hooray! Snake titties have carried the day!
Okay, here are my recommendations:
Park the carriage by the roadside and prepare to camp out for the night. Right now we've got Bowin, Eeyfel, and Azzeki still functioning. They can take turns on watch until the morning when we get Yappa back on her feet.
I think Niffel is going to be trouble until he can be seen by a cleric or exorcist or whatever passes for a psychiatrist in this realm, so I would suggest he be bound until we get back to base. (If we need a justification, insubordination is as good as any.) He can ride in the carriage if he keeps his mouth shut, or under it if he wants to be a problem.
Try to call back the 'bolds who ran off. I vote that Skrep receive Vovo's pants as a small reward for standing firm and showing he's got the balls to get things done. ;) Vovo can just stay in his loincloth like the little bitch he turned out to be. Maybe it'll actually toughen him up a little.
Strip the freedom fighters bare, search them thoroughly for any hidden gimmicks, and truss them up securely, wrists lashed to ankles, arranged back to back with their necks tied to each other so they can sit comfortably but will choke if the others take any violent movements. We want them secure, not tortured.
I'd take extra care to bag up Mizzit's paws in a leather pouch stuffed with rags or something so that she can't bring her claws or nimble thief's fingers into play. I'd say the same for Icker's stinger, and I'd bind Vriolo's beak as well.
Put 'em up on top of the carriage under constant guard. Bowin can take point on that for the night, and when Yappa comes back online she can guard them with her spear and shield while Bowin drives the carriage, Azzeki slithers alongside, and Eeyfel watches the gold.
We want everybody to see the beaten and bound "freedom fighters" paraded atop the carriage that they tried to rob as we roll into home base. That'll stick it to the rebels better than anonymous roadside executions.
As other have suggested, those Tax Collectors who are a bit modesty challenged right now can take clothing as spoils of war from the prisoners. I think Azzeki would look cute in Vriolo's puffy shirt. :)
If we can salvage scraps of their own clothes and do some repairs that's fine too, but I don't if we can count any competent tailors/seamstresses among the troops right now.
As for Skrep & Sezeda & Vovo, if they haven't run off, if we can get 'em dressed we can put 'em up on the top of the carriage even if they're too broken to help they can at least give the appearance of a larger force.
Generally, I don't think we need to be vengeful or bloodthirsty. None of the home team got killed, and again this is a quest about having some laughs and seeing some nudity. Let the Duchess mete out justice as she sees fit, it is for us her humble minions to do our duty, not put ourselves in her place.
If the undead threat is genuine, then these four could be invaluable to our side if we can get their heads right.
As Abraham Lincoln said: "Do we not destroy our enemies if we make them our friends?"
