Can monks use flurry with grappling?

Gobbo said:
What if the monk uses his flurry for two grapple attempts, with the first attempt he successfully grapples and kills his opponent. He is now in his dead opponent's square. He still has one more attack because he flurried, so he successfully grapples with an adjacent enemy and moves again 5 feet into his opponent's square. Is this all legal? Are any AoO allowed to adjacent enemies (other than the two enemies he grappled with) ?

It seems like he's getting some 'free' movement out of the deal here. I realize that flurrying is a full round action.

Thanks again for all your help.
You only move into their square if you want to maintain the hold after your initial grapple check. If you kill them on that check, you aren't maintaining the hold, and wouldn't move into their square.

Yes, the steps are as follows.

1. Attack of Opportunity if allowed one.
2. Melee Attack to grab opponent.
3. Opposed Grapple checks to start the grapple.
4. If you wish to maintain the hold for later rounds, you must move into the targets space.

MOVING AS NORMAL ALLOWS ATTACKS OF OPPORTUNITY, although the movement into the targets space is free movement as part of the successful grapple.
