After a sneak attack the rogue can inflict damage on a second target; does this require a second attack roll?
Wails from the Grave
At 3rd level, as you nudge someone closer to the grave, you can channel the power of death to harm someone else as well. Immediately after you deal your Sneak Attack damage to a creature on your turn, you can target a second creature that you can see within 30 feet of the first creature. Roll half the number of Sneak Attack dice for your level (round up), and the second creature takes necrotic damage equal to the roll's total, as wails of the dead sound around them for a moment.

The text you quoted for Wails from the grave does not mention making an attack or attack roll against the target. If the triggering attack hit, then you just get this damage against another target.

As WolfOfTheBees said. The second creature isn't attacked nor hit, it's only damaged by Wails from the Grave seperate damage roll.
Cool, thanks for the info.
