I know you hate to "waste" actions, but you could have saved all that back-and-forth by just saying:
"Udit rushes at the nearest merc with bitey and stabby. (Roll 1), Bonus action: (roll 2) or dash if he's too far away. Sneak attack (roll) with whatever hits"
...and trust me to do what's best for you.
Which I would have done. Suit yourself, though, it's no big deal.
