The party begins to cross the bridge, Ajax and Mulligan first. After a few steps, you begin to hear creaks and moans, then suddenly, a loud snap. Ajax and Mulligan - dex saves, please.
Ajax jumps back suddenly, avoiding the slat ahead that has cracked under Mulligan's weight. Quickly, he leans forward and holds out the butt of his polearm to Mulligan.
Mulligan reaches out for the weapon, but it slips through his grasp and he falls through the bridge. Unexpectedly, his armor gets stuck in between the slats, slightly wedging him in the bridge itself. As he is stopped short, his eyes widen in shock.
Ajax helps pull Mulligan up and back onto the bridge. You manage to make it over the bridge without further incident, stepping carefully around the gap left by the broken slat. You follow the short corridor and it opens up into a larger area. There are two pools at the back of the area with remnants of a short rock wall surrounding each of them. At the back of the pools is a small waterfall - the source of the water the goblins unleashed previously.
At the south end of the cave is another opening, but is too far away to see what it leads to. As you step into the area, a goblin steps out from behind one of the large rocks in front of you and fires an arrow at Mulligan. Attack: 12 Damage: 5 The arrow glances off of Mulligan's armor with a tiny ping.
As he fires, the goblin begins yelling. At his words you hear a roar from the back of the cavern.
I think he's going to camp out in his cavern, at least until we deal with the goblins, and I don't think we can afford to wait and snipe them from across the bridge.
((The bridge is a little over 10 ft long. Currently, you don't see anyone but the yelling goblin.))
Goblin Initiative: 11
So, party goes first. You see a goblin with a bow shooting at Mulligan. After firing, he ducks back behind the large rock, which obscures him from you. You hear him yelling.
Post your actions, please. The monsters will go after the party.

Ajax sees (if Mulligan is losing balance) if he can use his polearm weapon butt to give to his companion to grab
Ajax jumps back suddenly, avoiding the slat ahead that has cracked under Mulligan's weight. Quickly, he leans forward and holds out the butt of his polearm to Mulligan.
Mulligan - athletics check, please.

What do you do?
Mulligan will try to push down (or pull up, as necessary) to get himself into a seated position onto the last slat that safely held his weight.
Ajax carefully helps him out
Odo will keep eyes open in the front and back, making sure no goblerns try to to take advantage of this precarious situation.

I'm guessing that bridge is roughly 15 feet long?
