Baldwin gets up onto the table in order to gain a better vantage over Zindarik's shoulder. He then hurls his javelin at the grick, hoping his aim is true.
Baldwin your aim is indeed true. The javelin pierces the grick's scaly hide, but it doesn't seem to be as injured by the attack as you would expect.
The grick emits an ear piercing shriek and lashes out at Zindarik with its barbed tentacles. The tentacles slap across Zindarik's armor, the barbs scraping and the fanged suckers making SQUELCHES as they release. The grick will then slither up the wall and out into the dining area, looking for a softer target...
Hofaen comes down the hall and into the room seeing the reason for the party’s shouts. He grabs his amulet and casts Bane at the monster (CHA 12 saving throw) before planting his feet and standing his ground.
Baldwin leans over and with a wiggle finally removes the javelin that had eluded his grasp a moment ago. "This big grub wanted to hold on to this for me! *brrrrtt* We better be careful as we continue. I fear this is just the first of many horrors down here."
Baldwin - The javelin comes free with a SQUELCH. The southern passage you were exploring contains two more crypts. Similar to the rest though these are etched with the names Gustav Durst and Elisabeth Durst.
With the the Grick dispatched Hofaen returns to the crypts he was inspecting when he heard Ankita’s shout and gives them a thorough inspection. Investigation 13. He muses to himself “well we know where to inter Rose and Thorn once we are done here”.
“Well, now that the fun of that thing is over, let’s continue our search. Hofaen, anything in those crypts that we need to be aware of?” And after Hofaen answers Ankita, she goes to the West side of the room the grick was in and checks out that area around the corner.
"What a maze! Well, I think that path to the N we have already been, just not to the W on that path. I think I'm going to try South." She waits for the rest to join her where she stands at the cross section, and then moves S.

PC | Hofaen - Curse of Strahd by Dylanthalas
Hofaen - The crypts contain nothing else of note.
“Well, now that the fun of that thing is over, let’s continue our search. Hofaen, anything in those crypts that we need to be aware of?” And after Hofaen answers Ankita, she goes to the West side of the room the grick was in and checks out that area around the corner.
"Well done," remarks Zindarik as the grick falls to the floor.
Then, nodding at Ankita, Hofaen, and Baldwin, he adds, "Thank you."
