16th level party TPKd by a goblin?!!

ced1106:

I would hope that the lesson of "don't underestimate anyone" is taught in a non-party leathal manner. But once a party gets up to high levels, and they haven't learned their lesson, it's hard to throw enemies at them that WILL beat them, but not have the potential to kill them all. So, for the player's long term benefit (and possibly the DM's) the PC's sometimes have to die.

2) Due to the unstable nature of the magic in that particular area, the wish will ricochet wildly and begin a wild magic resonance. This resonance will feed off of the magic left on the pc's and in the dragon hoard (thus disjoining all magic items in the area) and will culminate in the revival of every dead creature in the affected region. Which includes the pc's. And it also includes...

*insert maniacal laughter here*

Don't forget that Prego, I mean, Ragu might have looted some of their magical items before accidentally using his wish. Then they have a new quest... hunt down the goblin and get their stuff back.

Speaking of the wish... "Oh, you incompetant schmucks! I wish you could see the look on my face right now..."

or something similar would do the trick.
