The team moved on from the patrol and surprised a larger group of goblins and wolves!  With the drop on the creatures, the party was able to take down a dire wolf almost immediately.  The sheer volume of goblins, however, proved a challenge.  The miniscule monsters swarmed in hurling spears and swinging axes.  The team took blow after blow, but they were able move about firing arrows, bolts, and sling stones to soften up the goblins.  The other dire wolf sank its fangs into several of the party, but it too was taken down.  The goblins surrounded some the team, but they were able to fight their way free.  After several minutes of running and fighting, the party was able to defeat the entire goblin patrol.

The team took their new map and headed south toward the Wolfskull lair.  In the evenings, the team could hear the howl of wolves in the distance, but they never encountered them directly.  Eventually, they made it into the woods.  The group made camp and nursed all their wounds.  Deeper in the woods they came across a huge petrified area.  Not only the trees and underbrush, but animals large and small.  They determined the effect had happened long ago, but the result was a cave-like effect of stone walls and paths. 

Screeching out of the darkness swarmed five giant bats!  The bats tore into the group but were unable to defeat most of their armor.  The team quickly took them down, but the noise drew the attention of a goblin patrol!  A dire wolf and five goblins arrived and quickly attacked.  The party took some serious injuries, but they were able to defeat them in fairly short order.
