Grendel is able to kill 30 of Beowulf's men in the mead-hall, Heorot.
There are a few reasons that Grendel attacks the men in the mead hall in Beowulf. For example, he is bothered by the noise.
It is mentioned in the epic poem "Beowulf" that Grendel kills 30 geats in Hrothgar's hall, Heorot.
Thirty thanes died on the night that Beowulf battles Grendel. This battle would lead Beowulf in direct conflict with Grendel's mother after her son's death.
12 years after Grendel first attacked Herot.
Grendel seized 30 thanes in his first attack on Heorot Hall.
Grendel killed one of Beowulf's men before trying to attack Beowulf himself. He suprised Grendel with a strong choke-hold. While fighting, they damaged the mead-hall extensively and Beowulf pulled Grendel's arm from his socket. The arm acted as another trophy for the mead-hall. Grendel killed many more of Hrothgar's men.
Grendel first encountered Hrothgar and his warriors during a feast in Heorot, their mead hall. Grendel attacked the warriors, killing many of them, which led to his ongoing feud with Hrothgar and the Danes.
Grendel terrorizes Hrothgar and his followers by attacking Heorot, the mead hall, every night for twelve years. He kills and eats many of Hrothgar's warriors, causing fear and despair among the people.
After the feast at Herot, Grendel attacks the warriors in the hall at night, killing many of them. This cycle of attack and retaliation continues until Beowulf arrives to defeat Grendel.
