Meep runs to stand with Dhara by the side of the road.
Dhara drops the bow by Meep and runs forward towards the hobgoblin in scale mail, while keeping a distance away from the other hobgoblin. Standing next to Kamos, Dhara cuts between the metal scales and deep into the hobgoblins flesh. Quickly she tries to attack again with her dagger. However, the dagger hits one of the metal plates and bounces away.
Halhace shoots firebolt at the hobgoblin that just tried to insult Jaylen. The firebolt hits the hobgoblin. While you can see scorch marks where the bolt hit, the hobgoblin does not seem fazed and is still grinning and staring at Jaylen
Jaylen answers to the hobgoblins remark, stretches out his hand, and upon touching the hobgoblin, the creatures’ muscles stiffen and he falls to the ground, DEAD.
Kamos, still unsure of where to strike the armoured hobgoblin, seems to be hitting all the wrong spots and not inflicting any damage.
The hobgoblin in scale armour swings his sword at Dhara this time. Attack:12Damage:7
As the hobgoblins attack misses Dhara, the hobgoblin laughs and then looks all of you over. “You think you’re strong, killing us one by one. It’s not us you should worry about. They will come for you and you will suffer by their hands.”He almost shouts in a husked voice and grips his sword tighter, readying himself for another attack.
Jaylen turns to the armoured Hobgoblin "I gave him a chance *nodding to the one he just dropped* and he didn't take it. You see the result. Last chance... Surrender and you can leave with your life. Keep fighting and join the rest of them. Your call."
(Would I be able to roll an intimidation check after that, to try and make him surrender?)
(I’ll wait to see if anyone assists on that roll. As for the assist, since the action is a bit awkward on pbp, I would like whoever wants to assist (only one extra person!) to make their own contribution via RP, and roll their own stats.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
If Halhace can act he is not going to give the hobgoblin anytime to surrender and will convert his two sorcery points into a first level spell slot as a bonus action and will then cast Magic Missile at the creature. He would rather kill it now then deal with it later. That and he is out of range to hear Jaylen....

Meep picks up the dropped longbow and then follows after Dhara toward the last remaining hobgoblin. Hearing Jaylen offer the slaver mercy, the kobold would flash his teeth, "No give up. Keep fighting and Meep eats you along with your friends."

Dhara prefers to negotiate with her blades, moves to flank the hobgoblin and makes two more strikes, aiming for non-lethal hits to knock him unconscious.
The hobgoblin, hearing Jaylen and Meep threatening him, releases the grip on his sword and takes a step away from Meep. “This isn’t worth it.” He grunts to himself and shakes his head. “You’ll never see me again.” He slowly backs towards the edge of the road away from the party.
(Dhara, Halhace - do you still want to attack him? there would be no flanking advantage this time, but you don't need to roll again.)
(Well at least it was a good one!)
Dhara drops her bow and runs in towards the hobgoblin by Kamos, pulling out her sword and dagger, and swipes at it from behind:

(I feel you man! Before that last spell I haven't rolled above a 5 for like 3 rounds)
Meep pops out of his hole and runs up behind Dhara, but doesn't do anything
Hallhace will return to his previous strategy of casting Firebolt, this time aiming for the one not in armor.
Firebolt: Attack: 15 Damage: 1

If he is leaving I will save my sorcery points and spell slot.)
I will grab him and hold the dagger to his throat: “who is this we should be worried about? Talk.”

Meep will strain to place the longbow on Dhara's back, then scurry away to look through the hobgoblin corpses.
