Fazingar wiggles like a cub at the attention from the other two legged members of the pack until Onnikka comes and gives him a nip to remind him to maintain his dignity.
They leave the bear to Esme and head to the dragon to begin sating their hunger with its flesh.

Fazingar is much more appreciative of the attention he gets. He whines a bit at his injuries until Onnikka snaps at him. He gives another yelp then quiets down though flops on his back and looks exceptionally pathetic as any humanoids give him attention.

Onnikka lifts her snout in disdain as Ulretha is downed while she nimbly dodges both of the hammer swings at her. Then, she moves in for the kill, adjusting her position slightly.

Urathasha's first blow downs Fazingar but Onnikka withstands the next two.
She moves to the side to get an advantage on her next attack with Ulretha distracting the giant...though his swing is so wild she's not sure why the giant is paying any attention to him.

The Pack piles into the fray, Onnikka and Crezobill joining their master in attacking the nearest opponent while Fazingar rushes to Thyste's side to help with her victim.

Now that the enemies have gotten close enough, the Pack closes the distance, Onnikka and Crezobill moving to assist their little buddy while Fazingar approaches the other giant.

Crezobill leaps to his feet as Esme draws near, he lowers his head and cackles at her but his ears are up. He leaps at her but doesn't bite, instead trying to bowl her over and pin her down.

The Pack troop into the enclosure as well, sniffing around the outskirts before finding places to plop down. Though they don't actually fall asleep, they'll give Thyste a run for her money in the "aggressively relaxing" department.
Only a little snarling and snapping at the entrance denotes any lack of peace before one of them takes a seat at the opening, casting a baleful glance at Esme for some reason before turning his full attention to their surroundings.
Lidia:
Crezobill, clearly not aware of recent discoveries amongst researchers about the relationship of hyenas to canines and felines: "Ha! We're supposed to let a cat guard us?"
Onnikka: "We're going to let a cat guard us and you've volunteered to help her."
Crezobill, over-eagerly: "Of course milady! It will be my honor and privilege. Your wisdom is as keen as your fangs."

A moment later (but hours in metagame time because I forgot they got a turn too...) the Pack attacks as well, though Crezobill was very nearly taken out of the fight.

Onnikka attacks the yellow spider next to her while Fazingar and Crezobill move into the room up the stairs, the latter taking a snap at one of the odd spider-men.

The Pack rushes up the stairs and into the room, as well, Onnika and Crezobill setting themselves up on opposite sides of the wolf so that it has nowhere to turn to be safe.

Crezobill also takes advantage of Ben's position to attack the distracted giantess while Fazingar releases very humanoid victory chuckle at being missed before leaping back into the fray.

The Pack is hot on Ulretha's heels, throwing themselves at the two giants. Onnikka goes after the one that Buddy and Ben are cutting off, leaving the three males to deal with the other one.

Lidia:
"Yes! Yes! He smells strange. I like biting. I would have already bitten him but I think Ulretha and Onnikka would be angry and bite me. When they say it is alright to bite him, I will bite him good," Crezobill responds.

Crezobill is definitely not feeling well, and it's only Ulretha's presence that keeps him from collapsing (Tenacious Guardian has kicked in since he's at -6HP) He's had a mouthful of thorns so he does not leap to the attack, again but instead distracts the creature to help Onnikka.

Fazingar and Crezobill both take hits as they come at the creature again. Then, Fazingar takes two hits from the thorns that are flung at him, though the others miss or are deflected off his armor.
Both the males are able to follow without lowering their guard (Green and Red can get to where they are on the map by taking 5 foot steps.)
Onnika rounds behind them them launches herself at the creature again.

The Pack is less than zealous when it comes to attacking this creature. It's barely even a creature, just an overgrown ivy. That's not going to be delicious. In fact, they're not even sure why they're here, this place barely has any meat in it.
But, rataraing things is pretty entertaining so they rush the creature in preparation of doing that.

Onnikka looks disdainfully at Lidia as the woman approaches to pet her. But she does not snap and actually subtly leans into the affection though with all the appearance of disinterest.
Fazingar is, miraculously, back on his feet and takes the attention gratefully, brushing his side against Lidia.
Until Crezobill shoves himself between the two of them and butts his head against her hand insistently.
That lasts right up until he yelps and skitters away as Onnikka gives him a corrective nip. She then sits to get more petting, glaring at the omega male while Fazingar is able to return.
She only allows Crezobill to return when she, apparently, gets bored with it all and goes to lay down near one end of the bridge, watching vigilantly.

The three hyenas are as confused as anyone at what's going on, but with direction from Ulretha, they start sniffing out whatever creatures are attacking.
I'm not sure the fairer way to do this. 3 separate rolls or a single with two aid attempts?

Turns out, upon review, Crezobill was not hit in the first rush.
The big man seems to be working his way through the Pack. He downs the new scaly member and then lays a fierce hit on Crezobill, though he does not go down.
The two remaining upright members launch themselves at him again.

Onnikka manages to sidestep the giant's attack as she gets next to it. Neither Crezobill nor Fazingar are so lucky. And on the creature's backswing, it knocks Fazingar completely unconscious with the way it batters his body.
Both the remaining Hyenas leap on the creature in a fury.
