If we give the 5e goblins 7 hp, it becomes true that high level fighter who hit them will kill them. If we make the 4e ogre a minion, because the PCs it is fighting are high level, it becomes true that if one of those PCs hits it, it will die. I don't see how one of these is "presecribing narrative" but the other is not.As to whether or not the PCs fight or befriend a goblin or an ogre, this has nothing to do with whether or not it has 7 or 1 or 100 hp.</blockquote>
