Gotchya! We posted at the same time. Contested strength check: 21

Wow, nice nat20 Chubster! Is this thing still alive?

Sorry that took to long to edit, got caught up at work.

With finally, a few solid purchases onto the giant Grick, it’s movements begin to slow, looking more and more fatigued. Gregor grabs hold of it’s tentacle face and they thrash around for a moment, before it slowly pulls back, Gregor rips the tentacles from it’s face, allowing it to turn to Chubby who just sliced out a large chunk of it’s body, and in a last ditch effort, focusses it’s tail and face right on him;

Tail: Attack: 10 Damage: 13

Tentacle grapple (now at disadv, thanks to Gregor) Attack: 11 Damage: 10

If the tentacles hit, it’s beak nashes furiously: Attack: 21 Damage: 17

Nia, Chubby, Liam, Crispy, Gregor, you’re all up!

Nia gave a small, vicious grin as she sensed the tide turning against the Gricks. "Haha! We've so got this!" She crowed before aiming down her staff again for another Eldritch Blast

Attack: 21 Damage: 14

As the Eldrich Blast hits, Crispy smiles and shields her face for a moment, making sure not to get caught in the blast. She pulls out her swords from the creature from the previous attack, adjusting her position to find another soft spot to stab into - gritting her teeth, she makes her move:

Sneak Attack: 18 Damage: 11
Offhand Attack: 11 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

After the attack, she wipes the goo from her face with her forearm and quickly adjusts her position to peek and make sure Chubby is still alive.

And with that spectacular tandem attack- the giant beast in felled. It hits the ground with a huge THUD sending dust everywhere throughout the room.

(Is poor Chubbs ok?)

"Chubb??" Crispy calls out, pushing aside the dead body of the grick. She goes to check on her old friend, ignoring her wounds and mess.

Gregor wipes the sweat off his brow, and takes quick inventory of his friends. It was a tough fight, but surprisingly not as tough as he imagined. He helps Crispy move the body of the Grick, and stands a respectiful distance away, veil of healing potion in hand just in case.

With all the grick goo spewn across the room and us, the Alpha Grick’s last attack luckily slipped right off of Chubby’s armor, causing no damage.

Crispy’s relief is evident, as she stops and softly smiles at the fact that she didnt lose her drinking buddy this day. She then looks around at the others, getting a head count. She pats Gregor on the shoulder as she walks by to Nia.

”Hey. Don’t repeat those bad words I said.” She winks and tugs at her hair for a moment before walking off.

Nia laughed, smacked Crispy's backside as she walked off, and danced around the others till she made it to Liam and gave him a big hug. "We are awesome!" She crowed. "If we had one of those gnomish cameras we could pose on the corpse of that big one!"

“Now my friends, we count our treasures and take our naps! Does anyone be knowing if Grick worm be edible?”

Perception for the gold/treasure in the corner: 7

Nia screwed up her face at the thought of eating Grick flesh. "Maybe we might table the idea of monster-flesh till we fight some dire boars or something."

Liam breathes a sigh of relief as the alpha grick goes down, and nods his satisfaction upon finding that everyone was still standing afterward.  He flinches ever so slightly at Nia's hug before slowly returning it, then proceeds to help Gregor examine the contents of the room.

Investigation: 7

Nature: 21 (To see if Liam knows whether grick meat is advisable to eat or not.)

From what Liam remembers about Gricks is that they're not good eating. Regarding the treasure, you know they use hordes of less fortunate adventurers to lure fresh ones when they are able.

Rummaging through the treasure, y'all find the following which I shall leave to you all to distribute how you see fit:

3x potions of healing (Normal)

An old box containing smith’s tools, a portable forge and a small pot of once melted silver- enough to apply to one weapon or two smaller weapons.

A large greataxe with red and black arcane decoration over the head which looks like flame. On closer inspection, you can see multiple small pairs of red eyes make up some of the embers depicted on the axe head.

One pair of metal Climbing Claws* and a piece of parchment with a charcoal scribble drawn on it depicting a large ape and three old woman surrounding it with their hands up in the air.

36gp, 30sp and 12cp.

*climbing claws: These fingerless gloves have a wrist brace which connects over the thumbs. They have three metal claws attached to the palms which grants the wearer the following: Unarmed strikes deal 1d4+STR slashing damage. A climbing speed of 20'. If equipped, the wearer cannot wield weapons, however smaller items may fit into their hands such as wands, darts, food, potions, etc...

Chubby casts a longing eye at the large greataxe, walks over, and hovers his hands over the thing.  Does he feel anything emanating off of it?  Perception: 10

OOC: No, he's not a magic user...just wondering if it's a magic weapon that wants to talk to him?  Pick me uuuuuuuuuuup, Chubby!  Do eeeeeeeeeet!
