@dungeons Adventurers of Hólounáite, your best option against the Hyena is to use your highest damaging spell, Thunderwave [2d8]. Your spell slot [1] is sufficient for this encounter, and you can hope to handle this encounter with only one charge of your spell slot. As it is more powerful than your other options, Thunderwave can do a lot of damage in one go and may be enough to defeat the Hyena in one turn. Remember to make a pair of rolls (character and monster) when [1/2]
