Tyris remains on the western balcony to give it a more thorough search while the others head to the east balcony, then keeps his bow ready, watching over the room in case they're attacked.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shadow and Oreus descend the western staircase and move across the room to the eastern staircase.
Tyris searches the western balcony, but doesn't find anything of interest.
Oreus takes the lead up the eastern staircase.
As they get to the top of the staircase they see a dark bundle with what looks like bones sticking out.
Just as they are taking that in a flying jellyfish like creature with a beak descends from the shadows above them and attacks 4 (odd Oreos, even Shadow) Tentacle Attack: 15 Damage: 4 beak Attack: 8 Damage: 6
A Tentacle hits Oreus he must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned target is paralyzed, and it can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
The target is also grappled (escape DC 15). If the target is Medium or smaller, it is also restrained until this grapple ends. While grappling the target, the grell has advantage on attack rolls against it and can’t use this attack against other targets.
The Jellyfish like creature then continues it's move (it can make a partial move attack and finish moving) flying towards the ceiling carrying Oreus of the balcony where Shadow can see some sort of nest 20 feet above him and a little to the north. The creature flies 10 feet towards the nest.
Grell initiative 15
Everyone roll initiatives, Oreus also give me the Con save
1. Since after attacking me, he is flying away, do I have opportunity attack?
2. How far is the ceiling: if I launch a javelin is with disadvantage?
3. How is the balcony made? With arches (and so columns between arches) or just a flat balcony? I must know in order to see if I can get any sort of cover , eg from a columns of from the top of the stairs
(So you're going to give us a 50% chance of hitting the wrong person if we attack? Just to be clear, since that's not normally howit works when someone is grappled)

(It's carrying you)
It is flying back to it's nest in the ceiling, carrying you. Currently you are 10 feet above the balcony. You get to act before it so you can attempt to escape (DC 15) if you do escape you will fall 10 feet (which I believe is 1d6 damage, though I would need to double check)
Oreus suggests:
"Let's check both balconies first, just to be sure nobody is over there trying to hide" So he goes up the right staircase
Does Shadow, Tyris and Alben go with Oreus to the eastern balcony?
