Waltyr looks back as the group seems to be indecisive on their next step. "Perhaps it would be best to do things one at a time. Finding the woman could be done rather quickly. It shouldn't set us too far behind."
Well, seems like I got outvoted. A sad smile creeps on Keldens face as he speaks. Then lets get going. Kelden starts walking towards the street exiting the town.

It takes a lot of the day to make it to Umbrage Hill, rising proudly above the surrounding terrain.
Built on the slope of Umbrage Hill is an old stone windmill surrounded by an iron fence. A large winged monster with a spiky tail is trying to knock down the windmill’s front door. A woman appears in a second-floor window, waves at you, and yells, “A little help?!”

Seeing the monster attempting to break into the tower and hearing the woman call for help, Waltyr attempts to rush at the creature. He tries to scale the fence or find an opening to make it to the monster.
If he's not able to make it to the monster, her will take a defensive stance to attempt to dodge future attacks from it.
If he's able to reach it, he will assault it with his staff. Then quickly attempts to bring his foot around in a powerful kick.
When Kelden spots the monster attaking the home of the woman, he draws his Warpick and starts running towards the monster. While running he calls out to the others. I will try to get its attention and draw it away from the building.
If he can reach it with his 30 ft of movement, he attaks: 23 , Damage if he hits: 7
If he cant reach, he will curve to the side of the windmill that seems to be a better space to fight and tries to get the monsters attention by screaming at it.

Thrann rushes off to the side to skulk in some light foliage in the bushes. He draws his longbow and will nock an arrow. "Toime fer a hunt." Thrann mumbles, as he takes a moment to study the beast to determine if it's a beast he recognizes or is familiar with as he wants to know exactly what the party just encountered.
THIS IS NOT A BATTLEMAP. Manticore is about 120 ft away it has not noticed you as it is around a corner. Gaps in the fence are clear terrain, ruined wall, difficult.
I'll be rolling initiative for the group and resolving actions in posting order when it reaches that point. Anyone trying to get the attention of the monstrosity give me a Charisma(Intimidation) check DC 15.
Thrann: There is nothing but tall grass, but you find an overgrown gully you can crouch in for half cover. Manticore info in the spoiler block.
Evil Predators. Manticores are fierce killers that hunt far and wide for prey. They work together to take down particularly large or dangerous creatures, sharing the meal once a kill is made. A manticore begins its attack with a volley of tail spikes, then lands and uses its claws and bite. When outdoors and outnumbered, it uses its wings to stay aloft, attacking from a distance until its spikes are depleted.
A manticore isn’t particularly bright, but it possesses a malevolent nature and the ability to converse. In the course of attacking, it denigrates its foes and offers to kill them swiftly if they beg for their lives. If a manticore sees an advantage to be gained by sparing a creature’s life, it does so, asking for a tribute or sacrifice equal to its loss of food.

Kelden is running towards the gap in the fence to the right, shouting at the Manticore. Back off you pityful creature or you shall feel the bite of my Warpick. Few have dared to incur the wrath of a von Fellbach and all of them had little time to regret.
Thrann furrows an eyebrow as he sees the other so eager to strike at the manticore without a plan or strategy. He shakes his head, and remains skulking in the overgrown gully and curses under his breath. He raises his longbow and will fire an arrow at the manticore.
Thrann's Attack on the Manticore Attack: 23 Damage: 3
Waltyr continues his charge toward the creature. He listens as his companions shout at the beast hoping to distract it from the tower. He ducks as the arrows and bolts go flying toward the manticore, glad her didn't get hit in the process.
It's hard to say why just from visual clues, but maybe you can ask it as it is getting a lot more personal! Angered by the scrape of Thann's arrow and Kelden's words, it turns towards the party.
The manticore takes to the air, landing about 60 ft away, growling out,"MORE MEAT!" In crude common.
It's wickedly spines tail arches over its body, firing spines at Thrann and Kelden.

"I agree just a quick trip there and back to get some coin in our pockets then we can perhaps we can get some transportation"

Thrann shrugs his shoulders. "A'm a' fur daein' an easy jab. Le's go lads." Thrann says as he shuffles out of the shrine.

@dm: can we know how many feet is the monster away? And is there a way to pass through the fence or is it closed and we have to climb it?
