(Maybe depends how the PC attacks, but if you attack, they would have "cover" which improves their AC, especially from missle attacks and if you try to hit them with a weapon.) Half cover means your PC gets a +2 to their armor class and Dexterity saving throws, while three-quarters cover grants a +5 to both. While, you have no cover so they can hit you normally.)

Lira will Wild Shape into a skunk and toddle down the passage, looking for a pressure plate or anything that might trigger the murder hole on the floor or walls.
Investigation: 10
Lira hears noise inside the hidden room, but in skunk form is too short to peer in. Twiggy sees two kobolds inside, playing cards. It’s a small enclosed space.
(to be clear, those inside the inner room can shoot out into the cooridor where those who enter, and they are very protected within)
Amdaeng follows Iolinder with Ning at her side.
Unable to find a trigger for the possible trap, Lira looks around the outside of the murder box room for a method of entry.
Perception: 22
Can Twiggy enter the murder box room through one of the 1-foot holes?
(Yes but she will likely be discovered, it is a small room with tiny windows on all 4 sides.
(door to get in on east side.)
There is a orangish light coming from the passage to the south. It is also warmer in this area.
Lira will turn back into her humanoid form, ducking so as not to be seen through the holes, and examine the door for any locks or traps on it.
Perception: 16
(Perception for guards: 9, 15)

(Could Lira cast ice knife through one of the holes?)

Amdaeng slipped past Morric and Iolinder asking Ning to stay back with them. She moved up behind Zarbyn
Stealth-8

Lira silently points out the door and holes to the others, wondering if they'd rather bust inside or attack from without.
