"Thank you, that was very concerning! Doing much better now, but I could certainly go for a rest. Let's see if there's a spot to rest in this next chamber."
The party ventures west, and they enter the Dining Hall. As they walk in, they can hear the ominous chanting echoing throughout the basement grow slightly louder. This room contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches. Moldy humanoid bones lie strewn on the dirt floor — the remains of the cult’s vile banquets. In the middle of the south wall is a darkened alcove, which lacks any sort of light.
Urgog feels relieved that he can comfortably move around without his head caressing the ceiling. The adventurers spread out across the large table. Eldon approaches closely to the alcove on the south wall. Would this pique his interest enough to investigate it?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eldon looks at the remains and just shakes his head "What foul evil..." he says as he begins to look around, he finds himself drifting to the alcove as he begins to thoroughly look in it shield and mace drawn.

Eldon moves in close to the alcove, not being able to see much of anything. As he maneuvers his head in closer, he hears a growl above him. Eldon looks up, and he sees a monster materializing from its camouflage state, and he springs off the wall to attack Eldon surprisingly.
Attack: 19 Damage: 6
The monster sprung to attack Eldon with its beak. A quick glimpse from the other party members sees a Medium-sized monstrosity that resembles a green, slimy slug but has the head of an octopus.
Urgog sighs and straightens slightly. He puts the small hand axe back in its sheath on his side , strapping it down and draws his hammer, glad to feel its weight in his hands again.
Still holding the torch in his left hand, Zed quickly pulls his hand crossbow from it's holster on his hip using his right hand, and fires off a quick shot at the monster as it makes its attack against Eldon.
Urgog swiftly maneuvers ahead, and is able to swing the Warhammer past Eldon to viciously strike the beak of the Grick. The Grick's sluggish body coils from the agony.

I pull out my shortbow and shoot at the grick. Attack: 24
Cinna nocks an arrow into her arrow, and fires a shot precisely between Kestrell and Eldon, and pierces the body of the Grick.
It now goes to the Grick.
The Grick realizes it's outnumbered, and it slithers up the wall, and bolts across the ceiling of the Dining Hall. As it moves toward the hall way behind Zed; Urgog, Eldon, and Kestrell will get an Opportunity Attack.
If the Grick survives, Cinna, Xavice, and Zed will also get an Opportunity Attack as the Grick is planning on going past Zed into the hallway, just above the staircase.
"Alright let's go into the next room."
Eldon just raises his hand to his head for a second rubbing his eyes "Uh...thanks."
When Kestrell suggests moving to the next room he just nods "Yeah we should keep moving. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on with this place?"

"Yes, let's keep moving. I'm so glad you two are doing better. That was very concerning."

Urgog sees the Grick attempting to leave and roars again at it. He hefts the Warhammer high and brings it down onto its body.

Urgog swiftly bashes the Grick's tail with his warhammer as the Grick slithers across the ceiling.
Eldon and Kestrell can still make an Opportunity Attack.
Cinna, Xavice, and Zed can make their post their actions and if the Grick survives the first three, then your posts will apply.

Eldon just looks at the creature and begins to chant as he casts toll the dead at it.
