The team advanced upon the Wolfskull lair and found a petrified log laying over a muddy river.  Gordi tied himself to a petrified tree and crossed over the bridge into the lair.  Just inside the darkness he saw dire wolves and goblins, and they saw him!  He fled back across the log pursued by spear-throwing goblins and a wolf nipping at his heels! 

The team began firing arrows and bolts at the approaching mob.  One of the wolves was slain and fell into the water.  Moments later, piranha swarmed the carcass and frothed the waters!  The goblins grabbed hold of Gordi’s rope and dragged him into the water with the carnivorous fish.  Katarina sprang into action and dived onto the bridge.  She cut Gordi free and grabbed his cloak.  The waterlogged dwarf floundered in the water, but Katarina defied the odds and heaved him out of the water and onto the log to safety! 

The goblins surged forward and drove the team back.  The party unleashed magic missiles and shield spells and a barrage of arrows, stones, and bolts.  One at a time the goblins fell under the onslaught.  Eventually, only the team remained standing.
