Nia and Gregor manage to notice that a few of these stalagmites don't look the same... Four gricks give up their camouflage and writher around to attack, just as Crispy uncovers four minor potions of healing, wrapped up in the rags!
Initiative please!
Grick1: 12
Grick2: 12
Grick3: 16
Grick4: 21
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Initiative: 14
Initiative: 5
Nia points at the Gricks "Ahh! Look at those freaks!!"
Chubby's initiative: 15
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Liam sighs.
"Here we go again."
Initiative: 11
Just waiting for Gregor's roll =)
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Mines above Nia’s, at least on my screen. It was 13 if you guys can’t see it
Initiative: 14
Oh my godddd.....using inspiratioonnnn!!!

That's more like it. Crispy grabs one of the healing potions and gulps it down, risking choking, throws the empty vial off to the side, and draws her swords, backing against the wall. What the hell ARE these things? Keeping her eyes outward, her eyes dart back and forth trying to discern where they are.
"Showtime..." She mutters.
Okay! Sorry for the delay. We have:
Grick2, Crispy, Liam, Gregor, Chubby, Grick3, Grick1, Grick4, Nia.
As Nia lets out a scream, the worm looking creature opens its face, revealing four octopus like tentacles reaching outwards and a large beak, opening up wide. The tentacles attempt to wrap around Nia’s arms: Attack: 24 Damage: 14
The tentacles lash out, but are unable to find purchase on Nia.
Next up, we have Crispy, Liam, Gregor and Chubby.
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Crispy's focus becomes razor thin. Acting on years of combat experience she remains disciplined and engages the grick attacking Nia.
Sneak Attack: Attack: 14 Damage: 20
Offhand: Attack: 14 Damage: 2
The second attack probably misses, but she does her best to position herself so the grick will attack Crispy instead of Nia, shouting a loud: "NO!"
Chubby swings at Grick3 with his magic battleaxe in a Menacing attack maneuver: Attack: 8 Damage: 8 (magic) plus 2 additional damage due to the expended superiority dice, for a grand total of 11 damage.
The Grick must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of Chubby until the end of my next turn.
Note: I assume we’re making moves in the new initiative “block” format, so Crispy, Liam, Gregor and I all basically post our moves at the same time, since we’re the next “block” of moves between the Grick moves?
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Lunging forward with a menacing growl, Chubby just barely misses the Grick.
Gregor is up!
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
I can’t find a map of the battle, so Gregor will charge towards the least injuried one that doesn’t proc any attack’s of opprutunity on him.
Swinging recklessly and doing the damadge boost: 15
Hoooo boy damadge Roll: 17
Because of the crit Gregor gets to go again, he’ll go to the next least damadged grick if possible
Hit: 12
Awww shit boys here’s another crit damadge: 28
Crispy ducks from the swings, if necessary lol protecting Nia if possible..although i'm sure she can take care of herself. =P
Okay, two different possible courses of action for Liam here, all contingent on battlefield positioning. Since it's the first round of the fight and most of the gricks haven't moved yet, is it possible that all of them, or at least the three that haven't moved, are within a 20ft sphere of each other? And if so, would any of our party be within that sphere as well?
Ha, and here I thought we could get away without one this time ;) I'll draw one up quickly. Gregor, I kinda want you to keep going on your crit rampage!
Edit: You're a half orc right? Don't forget you get Brutal Critical as well.
Gregor goes on an absolute RAMPAGE, even with his strength scores reduced, there is no holding back this barbarian as he decimates the two Gricks posing the nearest threat.
Liam is up:
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Sorry, the feat is specific that I only get one bonus attack per round. Gregor isn’t even in a rage, he’s just calmly swinging his axe at maximum power.
Edit: I’m pretty sure I’m wrong, i get bonus attacks everytime I slay enemies or get crits, i think. Google seems to think so, so I’ll take more turns.
Gregor moves to the next one with methodical ease
Hit: 17
Sorry, the damage die went in a really weird spot. I think it was 17.
If i happened to slay the thing, i think I get another attack. Can someone please look up the great weapon master feat? I’m at dinner
"On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action."
Because it says One weapon attack as a bonus action, it makes me think this is just once more- but the rule of cool is making me really want to allow it to chain. I'll do some more rules digging.
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Well, the map is less helpful to me now, since Gregor is clearly in the middle of the bunch. Option B coming up.
Seeing the danger, Liam quickly moves to Nia's side (the side opposite from Crispy).He'll cast Shocking Grasp on the Grick to stun it.Melee Spell Attack: 18 Damage: 4 Lightning"Nia, get clear!"After touching his electrically charged palm to the grick, Liam will pull Nia back 10 feet away from it.Or, you know, the map could COMPLETELY invalidate that course of action...
Crispy, impressed with Gregor's attacks, pays attention to the swings being in such close proximity to her and Nia. Seeing that Nia is ok, she prepares to advance with Chubby to G1 or G2, while Liam ponders and wonders what he's going to do. Frankly, she hopes he just does SOMEthing.
"Chubby, move up! I'm right behind you! Go left. (G1)" She calls out, intending to have Chubby go first next round, so she can move into backstab position and strike.
