[Solved] Continue a caravan run after a battle in Fallout 2?

Replaymasteroftime

First time out of the vault
The other day I began a caravan run from Redding to Vault City because I needed to go there anyway, and I figured some extra bits can't hurt seeing as it was only a couple days from the 1st. We were about halfway there (Or something like that), and got attacked by Golden Geckos.

We managed to kill them with only one guy dying(not the leader), but now they all just stand around and do nothing. I tried talking to the caravan members and they just praise the fact that I was there to help. I tried leaving the area and continuing on my own, but when I got to Vault City, the leader just told me that I was a coward and refused to pay me or give me work again

Naturally my first reaction was to reload back to the area we stopped at, but I can't figure out how to make them continue the run. What the hell am I supposed to do/doing wrong?

EDIT:
After some more searching on the wiki and fiddling with variables in a save editor I found out that one of the Geckos actually wasn't dead, just unconscious. This therefore did not allow the leader to give the all clear to continue
 
Brahmin have very keen instincts. If they think a nearby gecko might just be playing dead and secretly planning shenanigans, they're not going anywhere!
