Good news, it was only Power Word Pain so. That was nice.

As a DM you should not be asking your players about their HP totals directly in order to target them with Power Words (or Sleep)
Quite possibly the enemies have a better idea of the players' hitpoint total than the DM, since they can, like, see how the player characters look, and probably have been tracking the battle much more closely than the DM has.
