Roscoe turns to watch his elven friend working on patching up the wall. He nods with approval at the job being done. Some people just aren't meant to deal with the tender embrace of nature. Knowing the elf had an affinity for the wilds, it made Roscoe wonder if there was another reason he was closing off the opening. "You afraid of a little wind and snow or something else bothering you?",he says to Edeleth. Roscoe takes another drink from his bottle and finds a spot on a table to sit with his feet dangling off the edge.

"Pebbles? What a fine name that is. What do you mean laughing dogs? Is that why yous boarding us all in?" Roscoe tries to peer out an opening to see if he can spot anything out there. He'll do his best to assist his elven friend in repairing the broken wall.
Nature4 to see if he knows what the laughing dogs are.
Rosri wasn’t much of a drinker, and he certainly couldn’t hold his liquor very well. However, tonight he Would have some of the strong drink. He needed it to calm his nerves and it would help with the cold. He went over to his friend and took a long swig. Then he coughed.
Then he walked back to the chest to give it a go.

As Rossi thinks he's got it, he accidentally springs the trap! Roll a DEX SAVING THROW DC 18, or take 6 slashing damage!
As Edeleth patches the hole by dragging furniture in front of it, Roscoe takes a look outside...and sees many red glowing eyes staring from the bushes afar....and the faint sound of cackling hyenas in the distance...
Roscoe slides his battleaxe off his back as he peers out over the snow. "Hey guys, I think those laughing dogs are here. Theys don't look real nice either." Roscoe does his best to keep his eyes on them, making sure they aren't advancing. "Any of yous think you could hit them from here?" His hands grip down on the battleaxe.

“You never know Mr...”
As Rosri answer Roscoe he can feel the spring mechanism trigger and the blades fly out. Rosri coils back trying to get away. “That was way too close for my liking.”
OOC: EDIT Deleting so Zyman gets a turn. :D Like I said, sometimes I post too much.
His attempt to block the hole finished, Edeleth joins Roscoe at the door, pausing as Rosri yelps. The rogue seems unhurt, though.
"They are called hyenas, and they are not even remotely native to this region," he says as if personally aggrieved by their presence. "They can't be enjoying this weather. I have half a mind to advise them to go back where they belong and let the gnolls shift for themselves." The eyes looked hostile. They did not look open to conversation.
All the same, he attempted Speak with Animals, without the ritual this time. "Hey! You out there! What are you doing up to your hocks in snow? You ought to be somewhere warm and sunny, chewing on a gazelle. You are faster than the gnolls. If you run now, they will never catch up with you. Freedom, my friends! Warmth and sunshine and grasslands and lots of game to hunt, just go south Very, very far south."

Zyman looks up from his stew at the news of the hyenas circling in. It was clear to him that that was what Pebbles meant by the laughing dogs, after all, he had always liked riddles in his youth, and this wasn't a particularly tricky one. "Yeah, I might be able to scare them away with some of my arcane capabilities. Someone just watch the fire and the stew please, I'd hate for it to burn now." After that, he walks over to the gap, and kneeling in cover, is looking outside at the glowing eyes, focusing on his arcane powers and throwing a minor illusion at the hyenas, attempting to scare them away through the image of a large roaring bear. If they aren't reacting, he will instead throw an eldritch blast at the first pair of glowing eyes he sees, primarily aiming at the ground before them, in the hopes of scaring them away.

Rosri BARELY retracts his hands on time, epically dodging the finger-snapping blades that slide out of the chest! But the trap is now disabled. The chest is still locked however, but Rosri notices Zyman, Roscoe and Edeleth dealing with Hyenas...and a large one looks like its about to charge right through the front door...

Rosri crawls up to the barricade, crossbow in hand and take aim on the large one who is ready to charge the front door. All while whispering "oh gods, oh gods.. we're gonna die.."
Do I have advantage? Again, Im new to this and still figuring it out. please teach me :D
Rosri takes a a shot at the Giant Hyena, and hits it in the front right leg. It yelps slightly, but the crossbow bolt didnt hurt it enough to stop it from pouncing onto Zyman, and biting him for 6 piercing damage! (It rolled a 19 to hit with its bite attack).
As it starts yanking Zyman around in its mouth, the Warlock slams the Beast with a powerful eldritch blast to the face at point blank, and this time it yelps louder.
Meanwhile, Edeleth takes a shot at the Giant Hyena from the window, and hits it in the back, causing it to let go of Zyman.
Roscoe and Grunda, I will give you a little bit more time to take your Round 1 actions before I move on to Round 2.

Do I have advantage? Again, Im new to this and still figuring it out. please teach me :D
Attack w advantage: 13 Damage: 8
Attack w/o advantage: 8 Damage: 10
Sneak attack bonus if applied: 9
ROUND 1 BEGINS!
With a 23, Rosri is the only one who gets to go before the Hyenas who got a 12 (unless Grunda can roll higher than 12)
Rosri, if you can pass a STEALTH CHECK DC 13, then you may gain advantage and apply your sneak attack damage. Either way, your attack will hit!
However, as you attack, you temporarely reveal your position, and will need another stealth check next round to become hidden again...
After firing, Rosri ducks down and reload the crossbow.
"Wh.. What are we going to do" Rosri is starting to have a small panic attack. "There is way too many of them"
He then proceeds to the next window where he will be able to see the large hyena. (hide action as bonus action).
Stealth check R1: 24
Stealth check R2: 15
Attack: 16 Damage: 8
Sneak attack: 5
R2 = 24 damage
Rosri takes a a shot at the Giant Hyena, and hits it in the front right leg. It yelps slightly, but the crossbow bolt didnt hurt it enough to stop it from pouncing onto Zyman, and biting him for 6 piercing damage! (It rolled a 19 to hit with its bite attack).
As it starts yanking Zyman around in its mouth, the Warlock slams the Beast with a powerful eldritch blast to the face at point blank, and this time it yelps louder.
Meanwhile, Edeleth takes a shot at the Giant Hyena from the window, and hits it in the back, causing it to let go of Zyman.
