I have an encounter for my next session, and would like to get this cleared up before they fight this a creature. I have them fighting the creature linked below. He has chains for arms that have "and trip" attached to his attacks. My question is does the creature have to sacrifice damage on a hit to trip or is to just tacked onto whenever they hit?

Trip (Ex)
A creature with the trip special attack can attempt to trip its opponent as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity if it hits with the specified attack. If the attempt fails, the creature is not tripped in return.
So every time it hits with a chain it does damage normally and can choose to spend a free action to make a trip attempt against the target it hits.
In most circumstances this means that it gets a free trip against everything it hits with a chain. The only time it doesn't is if it's prevented from taking a free action for some reason.
