(Can I confirm my current HP? I have 9 on my sheet but I think that was before I got hit for another 7? So I think I should be on 2 HP now? Not that it matters, Dain isn't going to hold back....)
(Correct - I believe you're at two. Dain was pretty banged up on the front lines of that skeleton fight while you were away. I should have informed you - I can cut you a little slack if need be.)
Dain screams in agony or anger; it's hard to tell which and rushes at the only thug he can see, mindless of the risk. He swings his maul with all his might, instinctively figuring that attack is the best form of defence. His energy levels are nearly all gone so he cannot even summon up the strength to reach his oft hit berserk state of mind, but he is pretty close!
Attack: 24 Damage: 6 - Reckless Attack (if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly!)
Dain races down the narrow, dark passage and clobbers the goon in the shoulder before he is able to fire any more arrows. He shouts in pain and his arrows scatter on the cavern floor.
Quick as a snake, he draws a blade and lunges at the crazed dwarf: Short sword attack: 10. Piercing damage: 8
Dain smoothly dodges the attacker's sword. Everyone may act next. (Ranged attacks are allowed, but unless Dain moves out of the way, he is blocking the hallway.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna hops over Molo and fires a beam of crackling energy at the gaunt goon. It impacts the man full-on where he is partially hiding. He seizes up, stiffens, then collapses onto the stone floor, dead.
That's when a pair of large orange-faced humanoids suddenly appear around the corner, bows blazing. One has purple warts across his face and hands, and wears unusual scale mail decorated with what looks like a fish motif - Kelnan gets a flicker of the arcane on it, as the effects of his ritual nears its end.
Molo easily dodges, but Fianna takes an arrow painfully in her left forearm.
"Lie down!" the purple-warted one commands in a hoarse grunt, in Common. "Right now! On the floor!"
(Assuming Nurglich is okay with redirecting his attack and responding this way to his demands...) Kelnan blasts a bluish beam at the purple-warted goblinoid. It swears loudly and profanely in what Dain will confirm is in the Goblin language, as its legs are briefly encased in ice.

Katernin does her best to move between the party members to join Dain up front, swinging at the closest hobgoblin. As she lifts her shield up, the emblem on the front glows briefly as she asks for defense against their foes.

Dain will scream loudly and rush the hobgoblins!
Move: Get as close as possible to the nearest hobgoblin grunt. Action: Attack with frilly maul: 19 Damage: 11 - swinging Recklessly, if he is able to get close enough. Bonus Action: Scream in the face of the nearest foe, just because he can!
Katernin slides past the others and advances right in front of the two bow-wielding hobgoblins. Her axe nearly severs the goblinoid's nose off, but it pulls its head back just enough for her weapon to barely miss.
Meanwhile, Dain races up the tunnel and, sliding past Katernin, manages to flatten the purple-warted attacker in a single blow with his maul. Another one down. Still unnerved by Molo's music, the second hobgoblin flinches at Dain's outburst.
Molo may go next, then the remaining hobgoblin will get its turn.

Molo ("Mimi"?) slides under Dain's legs and climbs atop the dead hobgoblin, screeching all the while. He swings his blade but the creature seems more alarmed by his shrieking than his ineffective swordplay.
It draws its longsword and swings a wide, powerful arc toward Molo's neck. Longsword attack: 15 Slashing damage: 10
The deadly blade connects. Molo goes down in a spray of blood. The hobgoblin grunts with grim satisfaction.
Katernin, Fianna, Kelnan may act next, although the hall is too congested for any more new melee attacks against the hobgoblin. (Ranged is fine; only Katernin may melee.)
The party catches glimpses of the neighboring chambers.
Fianna pauses to stare at the remaining foe. Her right hand swirls three times gathering up unseen energy and with a whispered "Buail an bastard síos!" she unleashes an Eldritch Blast at them.
(Apologies for the dice roller. D&DB touchy today. Just edited last post to correct that Katernin may melee.)
The remaining orange-faced goblinoid is badly seared by Fianna's unworldly purple beam. You can see it starting to edge backward, looking for a safe retreat.
One burnt and uncertain hobgoblin stands between the party and a lit cavern beyond. You hear a man's voice call out from somewhere within it. "Hey-hey-hey!" he shouts in alarm, presumably at the unfolding battle.
Worried for his companion and honestly a little tired of death, Kelnan raises a hand to ready a Ray of Frost should the goblinoid choose to attack, wincing slightly as tiny ice crystals form on his finger.

Kelnan takes a moment to find a clear shot, then raises a hand and fires a Ray of Frost.
Attack: 22 Damage: 5
If Fianna can see the goon well enough she will cast Eldritch Blast at them...
Eldritch Blast Attack: 20 Damage: 11
Another attack roll just in case I should be at disadvantage? 9

Longbow attack #1 (vs. Fianna): 23. Piercing damage: 7

Molo and Katernin may act, then Dain.

Molo plays those same discordant notes he played before to cast bane on the new faces. DC 13 charisma save
he then runs up next to the southern one, and screams in its face.
Paladin - warforged - orange
The creatures try to overcome Molo's offensive music through force of will: Saves - 2 and 16
But they fail, their ugly brows drop a little as their confidence wavers in the face of this nasty little kobold.
Katernin may act, then Dain.
Katernin does her best to move between the party members to join Dain up front, swinging at the closest hobgoblin. As she lifts her shield up, the emblem on the front glows briefly as she asks for defense against their foes.

Dain will scream loudly and rush the hobgoblins!

The goblinoid pauses, considering its poor options. Katernin makes a fair point. It begins to lower its bloodied sword and takes a step backward.
Kelnan and Dain may act next.
A pool of blood grows around Molo 's head. You hear a man coughing wetly in the other room.
Kelnan
Worried for his companion and honestly a little tired of death, Kelnan raises a hand to ready a Ray of Frost should the goblinoid choose to attack, wincing slightly as tiny ice crystals form on his finger.
