If the group wants, Kai can cast light on her axe again or on someone farther up's stuff to light the cave. If not, she (as well as anyone else without Night Vision) will need assistance through the cave and be walking blind. It's a matter of wanted to try to stealth (with two at disadvantage) or just going in full force.

Moss creates a small flame in her hand Ostran gets a torch going and Kai casts light on her shield, befor you follow the narrow dry path along the stream into the cave.
Just inside the cave mouth, a few uneven stone steps lead up to a small, dank chamber on the east side of the passage. The cave narrows to a steep fissure at the far end, and is filled with the stench of animals. Savage snarls and the sounds of rattling chains greet your ears where three wolves are chained up just past the opening next to a stalagmite. Each wolf‘s chain leads to an iron rod driven into the ground near the fissure. Next to each chain a goblin is standing, each one with a nasty grin on there faces. Some of you recognize the goblin in the middle, wearing a good leather armor, a longbow and a burned left arm. It is the goblin you chased after the ambush.
He is the first to react and he releases one of the wolf‘s chains from the rod, setting the beast free.
It is your turn, what do you do?
Trying combat without initiative, just post your turns in whatever order you like. First post gets resolved first. I will post results as you go along.
My goal is to streamline combat a bit by removing some of the waiting time.
"No-" Moss will try and communicate with the wolf that she means no harm, that she can help free it and it's kin, because she doesn't want to hurt an animal if she can help it. And she's certainly not keen on seeing them chained up the way they are.
Animal Handling with Speech of Beast: 23
Regardless of whether the wolf sees her as a threat or not, she will cast off her fire at the goblin that let the wolf loose.
You have to choose between animal handling (one Wolf at a time, no advantage, only calmed for one round if a second wolf is still attacking) or attack because you only got one action per turn.
Angered by the abuse of the animals Moss tosses her flame at the Goblin-leader, who is to surprised to react to the flame hiting his face. For a moment you can hear agonising screams, but soon the goblin is dead.
With Moss' flame gone, and Kai still behind the corner, the deeper parts of the kennel where the two remaining Goblins are, are only dimly lit at the moment.
When she can, Kai will attempt to move up a little in the slightly cramped cave to provide more bright light to the group before sending a sacred flame at one of the other goblins, attempting to prevent another wolf being released. The flames grow aqua as they charge on her fingertips and blast towards the goblin (we'll say the right one. Assuming there was one on either side of that dead leader).
Dex save of 13 or higher or take damage.
Radiant damage: 6

Taking note of Moss and Kai, Mal moves to the entrance of the chamber. Upon seeing the wolves, as well as the goblins behind them, he quickly draws one of his darts and flings it at the goblin being burned by Kai's blue flames.
He will use his movement to get a clear shot (at optimum range) at the goblin and then he will take a position in front of Kai.

Yowser. Those are pretty big sharp teeth on those wolves.
Against what may or may not be the better judgement, Nobody at least tries to move in along the stream(if need be) to get an angle on the wolf pen area. Preferring not to have to kill the wolves, or at least make it easier on Moss to calm them, the tiefling breaks out a Silver Rod that lightly 'hummed' in hand. "Ez. Azlu. Dormirin."He intones, and with a flick of the wrist, a transparent, black mist spreads from a point to encompass only wolf and goblins in it for a brief moment. The weakest of which feel the weight of weeks of no rest suddenly pile upon their shoulders until sleep inevitably claims them.
But if he cannot get both wolf and goblins, or if group 1 is in danger of the spell, he settles for a whispered apology before throwing a knife into the side of a wolf. Either way, after which he steps back as far as he can to be just outside the mouth of the cave.
Mal your dart hits a blackened and chared eye of the Goblin and he drops dead. Just as black mist starts to fill the chamber for a second. You blink and the mist is gone without a trace, but the last remaining Goblin and one of the chained wolves are deep asleep.
I assume and use a diameter of 20 feet for your spell at the moment. I will double check that later but won't change the result.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
I will autopilot Leona now and i will give Hazel and Ostran 10 more hours to make their move bevor i finish this round. Dallirius just in case, can you give me another d20 roll in case there is only one Wolf left standing.
Seeing the snarling and loose wolf, Leona steps between Moss and the animal to protect the kindhearted Firbolg. She swings her longsword at the head of the beast:
Attack: 6 Damage: 6
But the wolf is able to dodge her attack in the last moment.

Kai can actually cast Light as a Cantrip. So out of the two options, the brighter light may be better if we chose to drop the stealth.

If unable to do the above as mentioned:
(Thrown)Dagger Attack: 10 Damage: 7.
Goyo - [Tortle]Druid/Warlock - Circle of Sea/Celestial (Libretalia)
Drozo - [Hobgoblin]Cleric - Blood Domain (Call of the Netherdeep)
