Bowen would need one balance check. IIRC, a coup de gras is a full round action, not a standard action. The kobolds, however, are no longer unconscious... just stunned and blind (this includes the commander). And it looks like that is wearing off. Stunned creatures takle a penalty to AC but I do not believe they can be coup-de-grased.

Bowen moves over the bodies of the kobolds to block the path from the shriekers.
Rall sees the kobolds starting to come to and attacks the nearest one. "Oh no you don't."

Bowen moves over the bodies of the kobolds to block the path from the shriekers.
Chloe joins Rall in trying to end the lives of as many kobolds as they possibly can before the next ones arrive.
Bowen moves down to the tunnel entrance where he sees two kobolds on their strange giant toads barrelling up the passage towards him.
Rall charges across (L13), neatly jumping over the sorpses in the way, and whacks one of the kobolds on the head, dropping the creature. Chloe, moves behind Rall (L12) and with a neat spin decapitates the poor, blind, stunned kobold commander in her way.
"Um... We have hopping company coming!"
"Um... We have hopping company coming!"
"Quick!" calls Rall to the party, "Grab their spears and set them against a charge."
Rall demonstrates, bracing the end of the spearshaft against any outcropping or crevice in the floor that could support it, point towards what he hopes will be rapidly coming kobolds.
"Bowen, fall back behind the spears when they hop in."
"I saw it in a play once."
If Rall has time, he'll grab a torn shirt or anything other fabric he can find to throw over the spear head and make it less visible.
At Rall's call, Arla turns and dashes towards the tunnel entrance to back them up. Already having a spear of her own, she sets the butt of it against the rock, holding it angled and as steady as she can towards the charging toads.
Meanwhile, Ash, assists Chloe in attempting to kill the disorientated kobolds still remaining

The kobolds are using short spears. Which, as they are sized for kobolds, means they are about two feet long. A perfect throwing or melee weapon for a kobold but not so useful for a brash young deputy wanting to set up a spear wall. Rall realizes this as soon as he braces the little thing and realizes he's at an ackward angle.
Arla moves up next to Bowen and sets her spear just as one of the mounted kobolds rushes at her, attempting an overrun atop its toad-thing.
Arla gets an attack (at either the rider or the mount) and can consider her spear braced. Ash meanwhile harries the remaining blind and stunned kobold but does not manage to get a grip on it.
Steeling herself against the impact that she knows is about to come, Arla tries her best to keep her spear steady, aiming the tip of it towards the toad creature.
Arla's spear slams into the fanged toad as it shoots towards her.
Overrun attempt:
Arla's spear thrust stops the toad's charge and it fails to move past her as the blade of the weapon digs deep into its flesh.
The second toad is forced to go up.
Up along the wall that is.
Ride Check:
This confuses the kobold's mount who stops on the wall behind the speared toad thing.
Rall and Chloe hear the sound of movement faintly down the other tunnel. It sounds like additional reinforcements will be along shortly.

This confuses the kobold's mount who stops on the wall behind the speared toad thing.
Rall and Chloe hear the sound of movement faintly down the other tunnel. It sounds like additional reinforcements will be along shortly.
Rall leaves his spear tucked in amongst one of the kobold's corpses (hoping to make the kobolds more difficult to cross) and slips over to the entrance of the other tunnel.
With forces moving toward them from both sides, Chloe grows even more worried. She leaves Ash to finish the last reeling kobold and hurries to the aid of Bowen and Arla before the toad-riders overrun them. Seeing the one toad caught on the druid's spear, she hurries forward and strikes with her scimitar.
Bowen attacks the impaled frog and then takes a step back to hopefully be able to cover both corridors.
Bowen does indeed finish off the skewered toad monstrosity.
Arla attacks the kobold rider.
Arla stabs the kobold and then Chloe moves forward and ends its life.
The other kobold, in the meantime, urges his mount forward to attack Chloe. He barely manages to hold on and does not himself attack but the giant fangs of the toad slice at Chloe.
Ride Check:
Slurk Attack:
Damage:
Ash meanwhile drags down the remaining stunned kobold.

With her additional injury, Chloe fears she may have gotten in over her head by charging the last rider. She calls for help from her comrades and launches another attack at the toad.
Chloe's glowing scimitar neatly slices into the toad thing's neck and it convulses and collapses onto its belly, the fight completely taken out of it.
Arla attacks the remaining kobold rider with her spear, while also calling Ash to her aid. As she strikes, the dog charges and leaps to defend his mistress.
Arla hurts the kobold which in turn tries to strike at her.
Ride check:
The dying mount however, prevents this.
Two more kobold riders on toads leap into the room past where Rall is hiding.
Rall closes his eyes as he stabs at the kobold passing closest to his hiding spot.
Closing his eyes turns out to have not been a good idea.
Bowen attempts to attack the creatures pouring into the room.
