Syllen listening to Khessa's words hesitates to activate his starry form. Pulling out a spell scroll he quickly reads off the words. With Avery being heal Syllen channels Radiant energy into his hand before sending it at the Otyugh.
"We must finish this quickly. Only the Gods know where this Node has taken us or what is waiting."
Guiding Bolt Hit: 18 Damage 13 Radiant to Otyugh. On hit next attack roll has advantage.
(OOC: @drumdigby - It looks like the Grick didn't move. If that's correct, then it's still in Xanrym's bonfire at the end of its turn. Oops! Never mind. I forgot that the bonfire wasn't teleported with us.)
Hearing Khessa's order, Xanrym swears under his breath. He knows that The Company will be able to shift its focus to the worm-monster once it kills the Otyugh. But Avery is now facing the worm-monster all on his own, and Xanrym saw the damage that the monster did with its beak. He calls out to Avery, not wanting to leave him on his own against such a huge monster: "Avery, can you fall back from that thing?"
But then he switches his focus to the Otyugh. Still tapping his drum in time to his words, he mocks the Otyugh's stench. Then he tries to inspire Khessa to finish it off so that The Company can help Avery with the worm-monster: "Strike true, Khessa! Avery also needs our help!" Then he gets out his crossbow.
Movement: None. Staying where he is. Action: Cast spell Vicious Mockery at the Otyugh. WIS 16 save or target takes 10 (psychic) damage and has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. Bonus Action: Grant bardic inspiration to Khessa. Free Action: Talking. Equip crossbow.
Theldrin moves up next to Khessa and Asclepius, then sends another Fireball flying towards the retreating Otyugh. He will again use Sculpt Spells to protect Coriana from the magical fire.
The Otyugh is looking really broken now, it's skin completely scorched, but is still up and running. Khessa, Xanrym, Avery, Syllen, and Coriana still up.
Khessa sees the Otyugh trying to escape with Coriana, and immediately gives chase: "You don't do this! You don't carry an adventuress in your arms to your lair, without first having courted her properly!"
The blonde arcane warrior's long legs quickly cover the distance and the magical Greatsword, already raised above her head to strike, quickly descends towards the monster's back...
[[ OOC: It should be clear what Khessa does... Movement to reach the monster, Action to attack it with her Greatsword. ]]
Khessa’s attack sinks into the Otyugh, and for a moment it seems ready to collapse. But something keeps the aberration going, it isn’t quite dead. Coriana, Xanrym, Syllen, and Avery still up.
Escape: 24
Continues attack on the creature who attacked him: Attack: 26, damage 6; attack 10, damage 10
Coriana exclaims, "Oh, I forgot about you!", and throws her staff to the ground, summoning Asclepius.
Asclepius snaps uselessly at the creature, and tries to grapple it in return.

Hearing Khessa's order, Xanrym swears under his breath. He knows that The Company will be able to shift its focus to the worm-monster once it kills the Otyugh. But Avery is now facing the worm-monster all on his own, and Xanrym saw the damage that the monster did with its beak.

Some attacks hit, others miss. The Otyugh's AC is 14 and the Grick Ancient's is 18.
Otyugh STR Save against Constrict: 16
Otyugh WIS Save against Vicious Mockery: 20
The Otyugh is still looking pretty beat, while the Grick Ancient seems nearly fully well. The Gibbering Mouther makes a STR Save against the Entangle:
STR Save: 7
Otyugh Moral Save: 2
OK, the Otyugh takes the Disengage action and lambers off, the Grick attacks Avery again:
Slam against Avery Attack: 9 Damage: 8 Bludgeoning and Avery is Prone
Beak against Avery Attack: 15 Damage: 23 Piercing
Tentacle against Avery Attack: 18 Damage: 19 Slashing and Avery is Grappled
Just realized that Coriana is Grappled by the Otyugh, so in fact it is running away with her. The Grick has also Grappled Avery, DC 14 STR to escape.
You all are up.
Theldrin moves up next to Khessa and Asclepius, then sends another Fireball flying towards the retreating Otyugh. He will again use Sculpt Spells to protect Coriana from the magical fire.
Fireball: 29
Dex 15 Save for half damage
The Otyugh is looking really broken now, it's skin completely scorched, but is still up and running. Khessa, Xanrym, Avery, Syllen, and Coriana still up.
Khessa sees the Otyugh trying to escape with Coriana, and immediately gives chase: "You don't do this! You don't carry an adventuress in your arms to your lair, without first having courted her properly!"
The blonde arcane warrior's long legs quickly cover the distance and the magical Greatsword, already raised above her head to strike, quickly descends towards the monster's back...

The Grick snaps with its beak as Avery runs away:
