My PCs did really well on Life's Bazaar and now we're getting ready to start Drakthar's Way. I have a couple of questions on some enemy stat blocks.
1) For the Silent Wolf goblins, they're listed as CR 3 and have 3d6 hit dice. This would indicate that they're 3rd level rogues, however, they're only listed as having 1d6 of sneak attack damage. If they're 3rd level rogues, shouldn't this be 2d6?
2) On Drakthar, I can't figure out how he gets the attack bonuses listed. When he's attacking with his morningstar and his slam attack, he gets +8 with the morningstar and +2 with the slam. However, he doesn't have the two weapon fighting feat, so he should have a penalty of -4/-8 when he attacks this way (since unarmed attacks are considered light weapons for purposes of TWF). That would make his attacks +4/-1 as far as I can tell - not much chance he'll hit anything with his slam. Am I missing something?
Also, his AC includes a small wooden shield, but it's stated that he attacks with his morningstar and his slam when he meeles, so I'm assuming he won't be using it, making his AC 24.

1) Yes, the stats for the Silent Wolf goblin should list what his classes are. Based on the fact that he has Track and Two-Weapon Fighting as bonus feats, I'm guessing he's supposed to be a 1st-level rogue, 2nd-level ranger. This also matches the fact that he has a favored enemy and wild empathy +0 (+2 as a 2nd-level range, -2 for Cha). Of course his HD would then be 1d6+1 plus 2d8+2.
2) As for Drakthar's attacks, attacking with a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon is not considered two-weapon fighting. The manufactured weapon attack is made at full attack, and any natural attacks made in addition are just secondary natural attacks (-5 on the attack, 1/2 Str bonus on damage).
You're right about the shield, though. He can't use the shield and attack with both his morningstar and slam attacks.
