Post 2001
There are two hobgoblins on the north ramp and one on the south. You have approached from the south but can attempt to take either ramp. Amanda is hugging the wall and moving toward the south ramp.
Ewald's arrows are scraping the hobgoblin on the north ramp.
The hobgoblins throw their javelins at the swimmers:
Ewalds target throws his javelin which provokes an AoO from Alarin
Bite damage
Round 2
Ewald lets go with another 2 shots at the Hobgoblin his skill allowing him to place the shots precisly past his companion.
damage
miss
Alarin slashes at the creature with beak and claw
Bite damage
Talon#1 damage
Talon#2 damage
(Assuming she reaches the ramp) Eria transforms her fist's into wood and attacks the nearest Hobgoblin
Attack
Damage
Amanda makes a show of being hit and struggling through despite her obviously grievous wound, but continues to move until she's close enough to the ramp to push off the water and 'dead man float' the rest of the way. I believe she should reach the ramp this round. When her forward movement is arrested, she will remain still, hopefully letting them think she's unconscious.
Tarren:
Will save
Failing this should probably entail a penalty to the bluff check. Your call.
Also, she has DR 2/bludgeoning, so I have recorded 7 points of damage.
Bluff check
Liandra swims deep beneath the surface until she gets to the ramp, drawing both khikri and preparing to charge up it.
Init
The hobgoblins take their flails and bash at those closest to them, Alarin and Eria.
Amanda will raise up out of the water and cast Charm Person on the single hobgoblin on her side of the cavern.
"Eria, don't press your attack. I've tried to let him know we are friendly, but if you attack, it will be for naught."
If Eria is on the ramp with one hobgoblin then either she or Alarin is not subject to an attack..he can't hit them both.
A map would be useful.
There are two hobgoblins on the north ramp. Alarin would be attacking the hobgoblin on the north ramp as that would be the easiest to target with arrows from outside the cave as you approached from the south and so would be one that Ewald is attacking. (The cave is rounded so that attacking the south ramp from the south would provide partial cover from arrows.)
Eria was hugging the south wall, so she is attacking the hobgoblin on the south.
So, 1 on the south with Eria.
And, 2 on the north with Alarin and arrows from Ewald.
Who is going where?
No, the cavern is 50' at its narrowest point. It gets wider from there.
Ewald calls Alarin back and the Eagle withdraws after the heavy blow. The Ranger sights down on the Hobgoblin and unleashes a further two arrows at him.Both off which miss.
Withdrawal action for Alarin so as not to provoke an AoO
The swimmers are all at their destinations.
The hobgoblin facing Eria relaxes a bit and lets out a nervous chuckle as if attacking allies is something he tries not to do but occassionally does. He is charmed.
The hobgoblin closest to where the ramp enters the water on the North Ramp holds his flail high wiating to bring it down on the first person to try exiting the water.
In a low voice, Amanda will whisper to Eria, "Can you slip past him and help the others? I will take care of this one..."
Amanda will speak to the hobgoblin in a harsh, demanding language while making hand gestures to indicate her meaning.
Diplomacy to communicate nonverbally

The ramp runs up the south side of the cave, across in front of the great doors, and down the north side. Moving this way will take some time.
The hobgoblin seems to understand Amanda's instructions and begins moving up the ramp.
Eria follows beside the Hobgoblin Restringing her bow as she does so.

Drawing my kukris, I eye the two hobgoblins and then rush at the one preparing to strike, as if charging. At the last minute, I dive to the right, to tumble past him, and then back to my feet, before attacking, setting myself and Liandra up for a flank attack. The water in my boots makes me slightly less graceful than normal.
Acrobatics to tumble around and behind the hobgoblin:

As Galadar tumbles past the target, Liandra moves in, her motions taking advantage of the distraction to strike.
A wicked grin crosses her face as the bite of her blade draws the enemy's attention, setting up a Galaladar's strike.

Although Galadar takes a hit and misses in his counterattack, Ewald and Liandra take advantage of his bravery and finish off the hobgoblin. The other one, slightly further up the ramp, is unflanked. He sees what is happening and takes a swing at Galadar.
Ewald shifts target and lets fly at the uninjured Hobgoblin
damage
Both Ewald and Galadar strike the hobgoblin.
Amanda and her new "friend" continue up the ramp toward the entrance to this room.
Eria continues to circle round with the charmed Hobgoblin
The hobgoblin takes a solid hit from Galadar and retaliates by punching out with his flail.
Ewald plunges into the water and walks along the seabed towards the ramp
Frustrated with the lack of room Liandra stashes her Khukri whipping her crossbow forward from the strap slung over her shoulder to fire at the creature.
"Over here you dumb bastard or are you afraid to face a woman?"
Wathching her ally tahe the brunt on the hobgoblin's ire, Liandra punishes it for the decision, viciously slashing at the creature with both blades.

The hobgoblin with Amanda and Eria sees his comrade in combat and begins to run. He gestures that his new friends Amanda and Eria should try to keep up.
The other hobgoblin has just struck Galadar with his flail. I think Liandra and Galadar will get a crack at him before he gets another shot. (Is Galadar still standing?)
Sighing, Amanda changes plans. It never quite works right - I wanted him to be a friend to us, not have him think I was a friend to his friends...
Before she takes off, Amanda tells the druid, "Eria, unless you have a different idea, I'm going to make the slope slick by the other hobgoblin. Tell the others so they don't try to come up-slope just yet, would you?"
Amanda, Eria, and their friend meet the top of the ramp. The ramp becomes a path that curls into another chamber. To reach the ramp going down the other side, they'll need to climb across on the huge doors. The doors seem to be made from an ancient ship and are covered in enough barnacles and sea-life that you can climb across with a DC 10 climb check. ... or, you could see what's in the other room and separate the party.
At the top of the ramp is some kind of seigecraft catapult device that would be able to attack ships entering this area.
Eria will wait and see what the Hobgoblin does.
Ewald continues his advance across the sea bed..
Eria will wait and see what the Hobgoblin does.
The hobgoblin, intending to help his allies with the support of his lovely new friends, climbs across the doors.
Amanda looks at the hobgoblin on the doors and looks over at her friends fighting his ally. Too good to pass up. She casts Grease on the doors as the hobgoblin crosses, hoping to at least drop him into the water. Once he's down (or across), she will dispel the spell and try to judge if she can help the others or not.
As Galadar steps back, Lianda drops her crossbow, khukri blossoming in her hands as she dashes forward the 5ft to the hobgoblin.
Attack 1
Attack 2
Not wanting to interrupt Amanda's plan Eria keeps her bow ready waiting to take a clear shot at any enemies (taking a ready action)
The hobgoblin crossing the wall will make a climb check.
The hobgoblin slips into the water and starts to sputter. He reaches out to Eria and Amanda for help with one hand, while slapping the other against the water to keep himself from sinking.

Liandra hits the hobgoblin twice.
The hobgoblin returns the attack with his flail.
Eria looks to Amanda not sure whether to help the waterlogged Hobgoblin or shoot him.
Amanda will gesture to the hobgoblin to swim to the end of the ramp and dismiss the Grease spell on the doors.
"Save your arrow, Eria, unless he actually makes it out of the water."
Eria attempts to climb the doors
