At night!
For sure! Way more awesome! Haha
Plus no self respecting Goblin wants to attack at first light, or high noon. Make it just after the sun goes down, so the fireworks can be much more intense.
Then, when the party reaches the inner Grove (if the battle ends up going that way) have a full on thunderstorm, with thick sheets of rain and lightning crashes and the river on the rise! Just going full on epic with it, when the levee breaks, leaning into the best clichés for a Druid grove climax.
Depending on what happens beforehand, perhaps Kagha or Halsin awakens the grove and that starts all kinds of wild shit cracking off? It'd be kinda disappointing if this is like the only real druid grove action we get, before moving along to the Underdark and the Towers and such, without playing up that idea to the fullest. It seems like it would be more fun staged out like that, rather then just a big cascading thing that goes on forever in the same couple spots with most of the same peeps involved each time.
Also, have Scratch do something heroic at a clutch moment. He could get into the fray as a temp follower during the climax, (obviously he shouldn't die, just have him yelp and run off if defeated) but that would be another nice touch.
