Zhamie successfully disables one of the brown molds. It immediately turns into just a pile of dead mushiness. Rain is impressed. "Nice work, Zhamie! How about the other one too?"
Zhamie does an excellent work on the brown mold as she complains about it. Khagra, though left behind, is fortunate to find in the small chamber close to the hole leading into the entry chamber a small, unlocked metal chest that contains several precious emerald gemstones, as well as a single dusty rose prism aeon stone.

You continue your journey and find yourselves inside a spaciouc circular chamber. A massive stone column ten feet wide rises from the tiled floor of this circular chamber. Strange glyphs dance along the column, pulsing with dull green light, though many of the glyphs wink in and out of existence as though malfunctioning. The ceiling here ascends twenty feet from the floor. Collapsed stone debris prevents the use of two connecting halls to the west and southwest, while breaks in the eastern walls open the area to an adjacent network of caves. A single five-foot-wide hall exits to the north.
Immediately, Rain cast Inspire Courage spell and moves forward to have a better look of the source of snapping sound. ”What could that be?”

With the creatures clearly hostile, Shagrat rushes forward with his weapons at his sides and with little regard for his own safety. When he gets close to the nearest one, he leaps into the air, his rapier leading the way toward it.
Shagrat attacks Blue with his rapier, causing some damage. However, the creature reacts in retaliation by trying to grab the goblin fighter!

Khagra stabs the plant-like creature and it is effective. Desmond too far from the commotion need to rush himself. Graeyson turns his attention to the other enemy but the weapons he throws do not meet the leafy creature.
I will incorporate the bonus on your attacks from Inspire Courage spell of Rain in case you forgot.
Rain casts another Inspire Courage spell to boost his allies. He also moves toward where Desmond and grabbed Shagrat is.

Shagrat tries to escape the hold of the creature, but finds himself stuck fast.
"Hey! Let Shagrat go!" he exclaims.
He tries to attack the thing with flailing weapons.
acrobatics:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9Can't try to escape until next turn. I can still attack for my actions, right? I don't see anything under Grabbed condition to say I can't.
Aleksandr is correct, therefore Shagrat's rapier attack is a miss.
Shagrat struggles to release himself from the leafy grasp, even his attacks miss. Blue continues to Grab Shagrat and attempts to retaliate Desmond after he attacks it by attempting to Grab him as well.

"Hey, get offa me! I'm just a medic!" Desmond yells at the plant thing. He drops lower into a stance and then slams his knee and elbow into the creature repeatedly. He then tries to tend to Shagrat's wounds in the midst of combat.
Khagra easily kills off Red with just his first stabbing strike, especially that it goes well with fire against Red, withering towards its end and loosening its grasp on Khagra and Zhamie. Red is now a dried pulp.
Desmond, on the other hand, does his best and beats Blue. Only the second one connects. He then heals Shagrat.
Rain once again casts Inspire Courage spell and tries to land punches on Blue.

Graeyson retrieves his weapon and goes to the last plant-like creature standing. Shagrat attempts to slice his way out from Blue's grasp, but only one of his attacks connect. Blue mindlessly attempts to Swallow Whole Shagrat!
Blue then attempts to attack Rain with its freed leafy hand.

You are still in intitiative until Shagrat escapes being swallowed. Shagrat can be freed by them adjacent to the corpse (of Blue) if they spend a combined total of 3 actions cutting the monster open with a weapon or unarmed attack that deals piercing or slashing damage.
