The leaping capabilities of the creatures have been observed, but to account for their cunning, the pit's rim will be lined with wooden spikes. Once it is dug deeply and wide enough, the workers are lifted out with a load of dirt and stone with ropes. Now comes the issue of tricking the creatures into falling in.
Guidance from the naga imparts the idea of laying a net with grass and dried leaves upon the pit.
Observation of the creatures shows that they enjoy rotting carcasses and general carrion. An animal is killed, and while most of it is gathered for our use, enough of it is set aside to make juicy bait. To increase the odds, several such corpses are gathered.
This is where our wolf scouts come into play. Once the demon hyenas take the bait, our trained wolves will lead them to the trap by going up and getting their attention and running away. Then, a man surrounded on all sides by the pit will be waiting. The wolf runs around the pit, while the man jumps up and down to get their attention.
The trap works flawlessly. A pack of seven demonic hyenas stumble into the pit when they go for the man. They scratch at the walls, but though their claws and paws are large, they are not suited for digging. A wooden platform is lowered from one side to the central pillar to get the bait man. However, the large demonic hyenas slam into the dirt pillar from below, dislodging it. It falls over and he tumbles down into the pit whereupon he is devoured, much to the horror and dismay of all assembled.
However, we now have a pit of the demonic hyenas. The question remains, what now? There are still others out there in the wilds; this was only a small group of them.
