OOC: Yeah, sorry, I've been assuming advantage because I've been rolling really well on my Stealths from my CA Hides, I can stop if that's not how you adjudicate. Apologies for jumping the gun
Don't worry although I guess you'd need to know what his passive perception was (not likely to be 26!) I have no problem with using the hide action, just post to remind me if you are doing something new, it'll help avoid confusion (mine!)

Brock would continue to try to keep the beast held back from the others, dropping the torch on the ground at his feet so that both hands are free. "Don't get too close to this one.. keep a safe distance and help me take it down!' He would shout before slamming his fists and elbows into the creature.
Attack: 8 Damage: 7 Attack: 13 Damage: 7 Attack: 8 Damage: 7 Grapple check in case the mastiff tries to get away 19
The mastiff must make a DC 13 dex save or fall prone.
Open Hand TechniquePHB, pg. 79
Whenever you hit with one of your Flurry of Blows attacks, you can impose one of the following effects on that target: fall prone if it fails a DEX saving throw (DC 13), get pushed up to 15 ft. if it fails a STR saving throw (DC 13), or it can't take reaction until the end of your next turn.
Two blows miss the animal as it writhes trying to get away, one does connevt and it looks like it will be knocked to the ground. 12 It struggles briefly but hits the floor with a whimper.
Lila is up, the shadow mastiff is prone and grappled.
The heavily wounded mastiff looks like it is on its last legs.
The other two are not visible, the party heard the nearly dead mastiff call out but have heard nothing in return, I put in the initiative for the sake of clarity but there could be two or twelve more, who knows ;)

OOC: You're terrible lolz
Wallis attempts to mercy kill the dying beast.
Attack: 15 Damage: 5
"Simon where are they boy," Wallis then whispers to her companion who looks around his tabby brown coat standing on end as his small wings ruffle near the base of her braid the tressym then takes off flying 20ft off the ground and scouting 10ft ahead looking towards the noise.
Wallis finishes the mastiff, with a clean strike that snuffs the life out of the creature instantly. For a moment the shadows seem to reach out like s claw to the ranger but then vanish in the blink of an eye.
Simon has turned his attention to the area they have not yet explored further into the tunnels.
Moving past C3 to Valen in initiative, to be followed by Brock.

Valen gives a nod to Wallis as she finishes off the creature. He then edges closer in the direction that the ranger's pet seems to be focused on, however, not leaving the area lit by the torches. "Were you calling some friends," he says to the dead hound and sets back into a defensive stance with his shield held firmly before him.
Brock would kick the dead beast from his foot where it came to rest before reaching over and picking up his torch. Once the torch was in his hand he would look around quickly "You all alright?" He would ask with a look of concern as he waves the torch around and make his way to the dead human once more. Brock would then quickly finish his investigation of the body before pushing his way farther into the cave. "We should get rid of any remaining shadow dogs... " Brock would say to the others. "If for no other reason than I am sure their hides could be worth something and I bet their meat is worth something as well. probably better than most the stuff we have been served back at the inn" He would say with a smile.
Brock has time to look over the body for a few seconds, again noting the shock of red hair and the dagger in the back before...
"I hear they do not taste very good, sadly, as they are no use to anyone now." The voice that comes out of the darkness is cultured and calm, the figure that comes into the half light hooded and tall, flanked by a smaller person and what appear to be three or four more of the shadow mastiffs. "I apologise for the eagerness of those two, you cut them off from the rest of their pack when you descended so they attacked, but you appear to have suffered little harm. I conclude that you are interested in this man, and I have nothing to tell you before you ask. I will be leaving now, the hounds will not attack, I suggest though that you finish your business here quickly and leave. I trust you will have no reason to follow me but Byre will be happy enough to discourage you if necessary. Come." He orders several of the mastiffs to follow, one remains with the other person who is still cloaked in shadow, presumably called Byre. He gives a shallow bow to the other figure as it moves back into the darkness, seemingly disappearing almost immediately.
With the mastiff prowling round at his knees Byre speaks to the group, his voice sounding lyrical and light. "Please take my master's advice, there is no need for further violence. You are not here for us and we are not here for you. Finish your business and depart."

"Yeah I have no reason to follow you" Brock would say as they pass. "We came here looking for this guy and were just about to leave before yer dogs showed up" The man would say as he picked up the body and tossed it over his shoulder. "You guys ready to go?" he would ask looking to his companions. After a moment when the dogs and their handlers were far enough away, he would look to wallis. "Hey.. you are the best hunter I know... do you think the hides of these creatures could be worth anything?"
"Wha- !" Valen looks thoroughly perplex as the scene unfolds. He lowers his sword but approaches the smaller figure cautiously. "Bryn, is it? And who is your master there?"He clears his voice, and adds with more confidence, "He didn't give much time for introductions."
OOC Byre is the other person, there were two males and several hounds, the first person left, the second remains with one mastiff
"My name is Byre, should we meet again I will be sure you will have remembered." the male voice answers sounding as though he is smiling. "Had my master wished for you to know him, he would have introduced himself." He then strokes the neck of the mastiff and straightens up. "You were removing the body and leaving I believe..." he trails off clearly indicating that they should get back to it.
Lila watches the scene in complete silence, eyes flicking across the various people speaking. Finally, she appears to come to a conclusion and rolls her eyes. "Amateurs," she mutters, barely audibly, then slips her crossbow away and gives the shadowy Byre a cool smile. "We were indeed just on our way out...Byre. See you and your master around." She turns away and starts moving towards the exit, not looking back.
(OOC: Maybe she was taking advantage from being hidden??)
Valen strides up confidently as Brock is wrestling the evil hound. "Hold it still so I can end this thing!"
Attack: 14 Damage: 12
"Take... Take your time..." Brock would say through gritted teeth as he wrestles to keep the dog grappled
