The defendant's attorneys can speak to the jurors after the trial, or can overhear them chatting after they've been dismissed.

As a juror, am I obligated to answer their questions or be forced to repeat what happened in the deliberation room?

You don't have to talk to them, but I imagine that someone on this jury was the first to bring this up. I certainly would have if I'd seen other jurors using outside sources.
