OK - I may put something in the Drover conversation like 'everyone is back on the wagon and ready to go'. The journey itself though should be starting itself up again automatically once everyone is back on, however it may take several minutes to simulate the Caravan Leader outside checking to make sure things are clear to continue on.
Some notifications for the wagon include:
"You hear cries for assistance as the sounds of battle rage from outside the wagon!" - This will be provided as floating text if there are still hostiles outside the wagon. As with ship travel and people that are below deck, you are not *required* to go out and help, but the journey will not progress again until all hostiles are dispatched by either the caravan leader, or with PC assistance.
"Bloody hells! We need everyone back on the wagon or we'll never reach XYZ" - The drover will start saying this in the wagon if there are still PCs/passengers who are outside with the rest of the caravan and the hostile creatures have been dispatched, or the encounter is considered finished.
"Thank the gods. It's high time we get back on the road again." - The drover will say this after the encounter is considered complete (all hostile creatures are dead, for example) and all PCs/passengers are back in the main wagon. At this point, the door to the wagon will close and lock and the journey continues on again.
