After burying the bones of the Durst children in their proper burial spots you head out down the hall and come to a large dining hall.
This room contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches. Moldy humanoid bones lie strewn on the dirt floor — the remains of the cult’s vile banquets.
In the middle of the south wall is a darkened alcove.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Artus walks into the room, he examines the human remains to see if they are just bones of the dead or dinner.
Investigation: 15
Artus is disgusted at the acts that have occurred in this house. "We need to finish up here and leave... This house is cursed by the ancestors and it is no place for us to linger any longer. The Spirits are not happy here and it is unsettling

The wormlike grick waits unseen, blending in with the rock of the caves and caverns it haunts. As Reggie gets close to the alcove the Grick rears up, its four barbed tentacles unfurling to reveal its hungry, snapping beak. The Four barbed tentacles lash out and attack Reggie hitting him across his chest and shoudlers(7 slashing damage) and its beak comes flying towards his face but Reggie was able to duck out of the way at the last moment.
“Back to the Nine Hell’s with ya, worm! Oghma, bless these warriors, guide their strikes true” Lando shouts as he points towards Andrei, Artus, and Tilo.
Andrei belatedly shouts "Monster!" then pushes past the others as he charges the grick, unclipping his ice ax. Andrei's hand clenches against the handle, and the blade begins to glow with that same cold light as he slashes at the grick.
Andrei used his bonus action crimson rite. His hitpoint maximum is now 20, and he has 20/20 health.

Tilo moves after Andrei, attacking the monster from the opposite side with piercing stab from his glowing shortsword, stepping into the monster's reach to deliver two ki enhanced jabs.
Attack: 13 Damage: 4
Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Attack: 19 Damage: 8
(Added Bless into the attack roll equations; apparently that results in false crits sometimes when you roll a 4 on the d4. On my phone, so I can't tell what that last damage roll should actually be.)

Artus not being able to get into melee with the beast grabs his javelins. He moves 5' down (corner of room now) and fires one at the beast. "What an ugly snake."
Reggie grunts as the grick comes out of nowhere and slashes him across the torso. He stumbles back a step and the monster's sharp beak snaps together less than an inch away from his chest. He feels more than sees Andrei and Tilo rush forward and attack the thing. Grunting again, Reggie raises both blades above his head and pulls them down in twin arcs.
As Reggie sinks both blades into the Grick it drops to the ground dead. Inside the alcove you notice a scattering over gold and silver coins (38 GP and 184 SP) and two skeletons that looks to be the Grick's last snack. They seem to have been dead for a really long time.
You can still hear the chanting coming from somewhere in the dungeon but have no idea where it is coming from and can't pinpoint it. There is a passageway leading out to the west and south from this room.
Reggie sheathes one of his swords and bends down to scoop up the coins, a grunt accenting his effort. He slips the coins into the pocket he uses for group loot and then picks up Artus's javelin. Turning to look at the others, he says, "It's wishful thinking to assume this was the monster in the basement, I suppose." He tosses Artus his javelin and draws his second sword, adjusting his grip on both.
Artus catches the javelin and stores it away. His axe at the ready for anything else that might be lurking in the rest of the basement. "We should be prepared that there are other monsters down here."

Tilo laughs, "I think I saw a couple of dresses back in one of those wardrobes you would look good in."
"Let's keep moving," Reggie says, giving Tilo and Lando a stern look.
Artus says a quick prayer to bid them safe passage. "Thank you for taking the extra time to seek out a resting place. What is next?"

Andrei curses, but says nothing else.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Reggie walks over and looks in the alcove by the light of his sword.
