The minotaur cuts through the firebolt from paul with a slash of its axe, dissipating the flames even as the force of the cannon shot follow up knocks it back, opening him up for a combination spellstrike from Ayalla. Spikes spring up from beneath the hooves of the minotaur and cover the entranceway to the keep, locking at least one other hobgoblin in place.

In response, the bugbear floats up on figurative wings of magic, incanting a spell. Darkness wraps around the vision of Leif, Paul, and Ayalla, blinding them from the outside world, though with a few quick blinks and a shake of the head, Paul and Ayalla manage to overcome the magic and are no worse for wear. The goblin riders appear once more, curving around the southern side of the keep to loose arrows from their shortbows at Wuffles. The wolf evades two of the projectiles but a pair of arrows stick into the spirit wolf's flank. Before you can rush to retaliate, the mounted goblins spring back out of sight around the keep.

Paul hits with the cannon, though not the firebolt.
Ayalla hits with Sacred Flame.
Leif casts Spike Growth.
Jorr misses shooting a hobgoblin.

The bugbear flies up, apparently magically, and casts Blindness on Leif, Ayalla, and Paul - Leif fails their save (can make new DC14 saves at the end of their turns to end early) but Ayalla and Paul pass theirs.
The goblin riders dart down and loose four arrows between them at Wuffles. Absent any instructions, they were Dodging. Two miss, but two still hit for 7 and 8 respectively.

Bernie is up.
