Beegred drops his shield, draws a scimitar and slashes at the Grick with both weapons, doing some damage. Skameros and Jimjar's weapons both bounce off the thick hide.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing the beast restrained and missing his allies, Narstin continues to lean on Sacred Flame...
Grick Alpha DC 13 DEX Saving Throw: 22
... landing another blow that does 5 radiant damage.
The Grick Alpha, trapped, continues to attempt attacking Jimjar...
Tail Attack: 13 Damage: 13
Tentacle Attack: 15 Damage: 16
... and adapts well enough to being restrained to land both blows onto Jimjar. Once the tentacles latch onto Jimjar, the Grick Alpha yanks Jimjar upward where it tries to make a beak attack...
Beak Attack: 17 Damage: 17
... but the viscid glob manages to save Jimjar's unconscious form.
(Skameros, Derendil and Beegred act... then Jimjar makes a death save. Note, Jimjar is not actually grappled, that was just narrative flavor.)
Note: being unconsious, the Grick Alpha would have had advantage with the Beak attack. But due to the disadvantage form the viscid glob, the advantage and disadvantage cancel out to a straight roll. Luckily the first roll was a 1.
(After Skameros and Derendil go...) Beegred: "Damn that Jimjar for getting caught!" Two more weapon slashes.
Short sword Attack: 21 Damage: 8
Scimitar Attack: 21 Damage: 6

With the combined attacks of the party, someone strikes a vital organ and the Grick Alpha writhes and thrashes in the confines of the viscid glob until the parts of its body that aren't restrained flop over , lifeless.
(Grick Alpha is worth 2900xp. Divided by 6 (Eldeth didn't participate). IE: 484 xp each)
Narstin rushes over to Jimjar and casts a Cure Wounds for 7.
Skameros pokes at the dead pieces of grick with his greataxe then picks one up and sniffs it before taking a bite out of it. "This not taste good...." and he'll spit out the grick and toss the piece on the floor.
Beegred catches the eye of Rodolfo, and mouths the letters “M. V. A.” (Most valuable adventurer.)

Rodolfo (intelligence check: 19) is very taken aback that Beegred brings up Moon Village Associates at this point and in this manner. He will enquire about it later.
Your myconid hunter escort guides you back to Inner Circle mound, where Sovereign Basidia is residing. Upon informing the Sovereign of your success in helping the Circle of Hunters clear out two top predators that would have destroyed the ecosystem in the grove, each of you are given a reward, "The rare occasion we must barter with other underdark softers, these are highly valued."

Jimjar goes at it with the pick once again:
Attack: 17 Damage: 9
Skameros will swing Pork-Chopper again....

(Rodolfo, Narstin and Eldeth next in Round 3).
Eldeth still holds her attack seeing how ineffectual mundane hits against the Grick appear to be.

Skameros will continue swinging at the grick
[Pork-Chopper: 24 Damage: 15]
And because that probably hits the strike also generates 5 radiant damage as well (Divine Fury)

Narstin replies, "By Barronar, I be not losing another companion today. He'll be up and walking in a few moments."
Rodolfo pats the wand hidden in his cloak, "This is a good thing, a VERY good thing. Should be using it more."

Jimjar stands up, looks around, sees the grick not moving and just hacks at it with his pick for a while cursing in his own language.
Once others start to move out he will stay behind for a bit, "I'll catch up" and take a leak on the remains as well.
He will then run after the others and vote for a good long rest if at all possible.
