Amiz keeps his left hand clamped over the hobgoblin's mouth as he then he moves his right hand to the hobgoblin's throat. He extends his Leonin claws and whispers "Keep on struggling and I will rip out your throat." He draws a bit of blood with his claws to reinforce what he is saying. Then he whispers loudly "Everyone down here I caught one. I need someone to tie him up"
Valar - The room you’re in is a common room for the hobgoblins. There’s weapons and beds. A small eating table and in the corner where Dedear is bleeding out on the floor is a fighting pit that they clearly use for practice and the occasional fun they were having with the cat.
Dedear will roll another death save after Thelanis and Draíocht act.
Amiz successfully tied up the hobgoblin and with Valar’s help drags him back up the chute into the room.
Thelanis goes over to Dedear and tries binding his wounds, (Medicine: 21) saying "You better be financially grateful for us saving your hobgoblin-dealing ass" to herself as she does so.

You bind Dedear’s wounds, and after a few moments getting himself into a comfortable position, smiles at you through his tattooed face, “I won’t deny anything. Unfortunately I’m not the one you gotta convince for the pay. Yuddic is still deeper into the mine, he holds the coin purse.” He slumps into a restful position. “For what it’s worth though, I’ll be eternally grateful. For today and the other night. Thank you.” He closes his eyes for a moment and breathes heavily.
Amiz takes the time to collect the fallen caltrops which is a slow process. He then says to the party "Does anyone have questions for our hobgoblin guest here? If not, I will dispatch him as they say dead men tell no tales."
If no one has questions Amiz will retrieve his axe and then kill the tied-up hobgoblin.
Draíocht drops out of bear form. He answers Amiz's question. "Two. First, what are the hobgoblins' numbers over. Second, why ally yourselves with Mycette and Jagar?" Turning to Dedear he asks, "What condition were your fellow dwarves in last your saw?" He says the group at large, "This seems like a defensible location. Might be worth resting up for a little before heading further in."
[[ Figure we're already got him captive, not an issue if he sees magic getting used as part of the intimidation. Though I feel like that roll was probably still a bit low. ]]
Draíocht - The hobgoblin looks up at you and spits something in goblinoid, assuming you don’t speak it. Dedear does respond in common though, “Yuddic and the others were ok the last time I saw them. I think their plan is to use them to mine further below. But then again they were prepared to kill me for sport so who knows what they plan to do with them.” He stands up, “If you’re going after them I’m coming too. I may not be much help but I need to do something. You’ll also need me to find them. Although to be fair I wouldn’t mind a rest either.” He looks determined but still a bit beat up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yeah you can grab some longbows and arrows no worries.
Amiz executes the hobgoblin and you spend an hour recovering from your battles, go ahead and mark off a Short Rest. Dedear will also roll some hot die to recover some health: 15
Dedear looks a little better after the rest but not much. He rummages through the weapons and armour as well and outfits himself. “I don’t know if I’ll be any good in a fight, but mines are the dwarves’ home, I can be helpful down here.”
Draíocht takes the longbow and gets a feel for it. "Been a few decades since I've held one of these. Hopefully we'll have good fortune the further we delve." He says to Dedear, "What kind of terrain are we looking at as we go down?"
Valar will look to see if there are any additional threats

Valar will check the room and weapons, see if there is anything of use: Perception 17
Draíocht - Can you roll a Persuasion or Intimidation check for me.
Valar - Regular hobgoblin stuff. Longswords, Longbows, a couple of Greataxe and Halberds.
Intimidation: 6+1+3 = 10

I reckon you could safely Short Rest in this common room. Although you’ll need to work out what you’re doing with your hobgoblin prisoner.
Amiz will kill the hobgoblin with his axe unless anyone has any objections. "Let me kill this hobgoblin and then I don't mind a rest" says Amiz
Valar is going to secure a decent longbow if he can find one, and arrows to go with it.
Draíocht nods to Amiz, being fine if the hobgoblin is permanently silenced.
As Valar looks at the weaponry he joins the paladin, also looking for a longbow.
