is there any way to turn the wolves to our side of say I were in the form of a wolf?

Jaylen, you realize that, even though the "training" by the goblins is probably pretty weak, you would need to make a display of dominance in order to get the wolves to respect you (which I'll say is going to involve attacking them with non-lethal damage until they submit). That's going to be difficult with the goblins and your party in the melee.
Also Jaylen, fyi that your D&D Beyond character sheet is turned to private, so I can't see it.

I switched it to public.
Jaylen quietly asks the others to spare the wolves when we attack but other wise prepares for a quiet approach.

Toki frowns, but nods... Tyr's friendship with Fenrir cost the Even-handed. I hope we do not have to pay the same...

Braith whispers that she will follow last, as there is little chance of her metal armor not alerting the goblins, but she'll try. And she agrees to not attack the wolves, or at least do as little damage if they attack her as possible.
While you rarely see her cast spells, she appears to be focusing her prayer into her hand, which begins to glow slightly. -- Just flavor text in case she gets to cast Guiding Bolt, not actually casting yet.
Jack a lope whispers to the party I am not sure I should go in, wolves eat bunnies and I do not want to get eaten.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to move quietly along the deer track: despite your efforts, Braith's scale armour creaks ominously and Jaylen lets go of a branch at just the wrong moment, smacking Gideon in the face.
The wolves begin barking and growling, alerting the goblins to your approach. Gripping the leashes tightly, the sentries retreat into the mouth of the cave, shouting a warning to those inside.
Map updated

Braith mutters something about wolves can't eat armor let's go, and she starts to move down the path, spell at the ready.
If she gets a chance / sees an enemy -- but trying to avoid the wolves if our resident Druid is still trying to make friendly -- she will loose that Guiding Bolt, so just in case --> 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 ugh and probably missing, radiant dam: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 2) = 5. Digital dice roller FTLoss.

Pulling his shield but keeping his main hand free, Jaylen moves to follow Braith
NPCs, Handouts, and Maps
Okay, so assuming everyone is going to follow you into the cave, I've moved the avatars and updated the map. Toki is away this week, so I put him in the lead, putting him in melee with the three wolves.
Braith, I advanced you another square from where you were because you would not have been able to see around the corner. You have line of sight on G2 and W3, the others have varying amounts of cover.
Jaylen, you have line of sight on G1, but the others have cover. The rest of you can't see anything yet.
I have to go out to run some errands, but I'll try to get back to this in the evening to roll initiatives and attacks. In the meantime, let me know if you think the positioning of your minis should be different.

Yeah, we have the office bug going around too. Never mind the fact that we all work from home and on two different coasts. Surely it’s just a season change, but regardless, hope you feel better!
Would my guiding bolt have gone off, even though it probably failed? Or should I roll a melee attack?

A fun new thing that's been happening in the last few years is that I occasionally get migraines. Ibuprofen didn't do much to slow it down yesterday, and when I finally got it under control I slept for a couple of hours.
You can use the Guiding Bolt as your Round 1 action or do something else now that you can see the situation. There isn't room for you to make a melee attack, though, as Toki is acting as the cork in this bottleneck.

Ugh on the migraines! I had one once, that was enough for me to have deep empathy for those who get them, well, any more than once. Hope you find something that helps alleviate the pain when they do happen, no bueno.
Braith sticks with that Guiding Bolt to the goblin she can see G2, probably grazing his head as I only had an 11. She stays put but hollers at Toki to push in or step back, knowing full well he probably can't hear her in the thick of things in case you wanna stay there for a round or two, it's cool.
