Advantage and disadvantage do not stack. If multiple instances of advantage or disadvantage apply to a roll, a creature still only rolls twice.
Creatures receive no additional benefit or penalty from having multiple sources of advantage or disadvantage on a dice roll, and still only roll twice. Likesise, creatures that have {{em|both}} advantage and disadvantage on a roll only roll a single die, even if they have multiple sources of either.
