Last Tree Standing strolls cautiously toward the manticore and its wrangler, wondering if the logistics department has just gone straight from piggyback passenger carrying capacity to luxury air travel...

The Manticore glances over to Seruk with a sullen look. "Dragon chases us out of mountain..." He flexes his wing. "Me go now..." It is more a question as he glances at Reginald.
Fyste will slide to a stop with his daggers out and will let out a breath, seeing the manticore losing it's will to fight, before he sheath his daggers and goes back to the tree to find his short bow.

It's Reginald's victory and his decision, but Last Tree Standing can't resist nudging him and whispering, "I waz going to buy some dogz and train them az guardians for our hoard and base...but just look at this guy..."

Reginald gets off the creature and staring it right in its eyes, "Here is the deal for you creature. My friends and I have moved into the area and are not protecting these lands and we will not tolerate attacks such as this. We will let you go but first you need to tell us everything you know about what creatures are in the surrounding area and everything you know about this dragon. Then we will let you go but only if you leave these lands, never to return." Continuing to stare it in its eyes a grimace forming on my face, "I promise you now that if I hear of any attacks by a creature such as yourself in these lands again I vow to hunt you down and finish what we started here today and if you recall it was not difficult for us to bring you down. Know this, we did not come here because of your attacks we were just coming to visit the lady who lives here. Imagine the fight we would bring if we were prepared to fight one such as you. Remember also, I never even raised my weapons to attack you and with the help of my friends we brought you down, imagine what would have happened had I used my weapon. Now tell us what information you have and we will let you go."
"Puny human..." The Manticore says with a grunt, sounding more resigned than anything though. "What I know is only that white dragon chases me and mate from our lair." He says with a grimace. "No can return to lair, so we hunt here instead. See dragon flying here and there, but need to stay away or it hunt us." The Manticore glances to the sky, clearly making sure no dragon is flying there now. "No no nothing bout anything else around..." It says. "Go now?"
"Did the dragon take over your lair and if so, where is your lair? Then all I ask is that you no longer hunt in this area, you and your mate move on from here. Otherwise the next time we meet you will be given no quarter and will die." Reginald explains, then turns to the rest of the group, before I release it, anyone else have questions?
The Manticore describes a cave in the mountains as his lair, and says that the dragon drove them off from it. He is unable to tell you where it is exactly, since he only knows it from the sky, but will give a description of the mountain.
Seruk will record all information that it gives in his Jar of Whispers. When its finished, just before it leaves, "Those spines on your tail are quite fascinating, would you allow me to have one?"
The Manticore growls as he lifts off of the ground, but does send three spikes from its tail to hit very close to Seruk. It then flies away.
Once Adabra Gwynn sees the Manticore is gone, she comes out of the windmill with a grin on her face. "Glad you came along when you did." She says as she looks you over. "Good timing anyway... Can I do something for you in exchange?"
"As you can see, being on your own this far out is quite dangerous. We would like to ask of you to allow us to escort you to the town before more dangers present themselves," Fyste pop out from behind the tree where he dropped his shortbow and apporached her.

Adabra sighs and shakes her head. "I am truly sorry you traveled out here for my sake, but I have no intention of leaving my home and workplace." She says to you all. "With people like you around I doubt if any more of those nasty things will bother me anymore anyway."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"You iz midwife, yes?" says Last Tree Standing. "Your workplace iz wherever peoplez is having babiez, yes? Iz more peoplez having babiez in town, and you can't gets to them when you iz hiding inside cuz of monster activity. We make special trip to come get you, we maybe not be here when manticore'z mate turnz up, hungry. Maybe with little manticorez to feed."

"Sorry you came all the way out here." She says with a shake of her head again. "Yes I am midwife, but babies only come along every so often. I do more work making Healing Potions, which I need to do here." She is steadfast in her decision to stay put. She has crossed her arms over her chest now.
Seruk would know that you only need to make sure she is safe, or at least believes herself to be safe and that you have a way to prove to the townmaster that she does so.

"So the fight is over. What now?"
Liarin: Against the Cult of the Reptile God
Adewild: Shadows and Light 2
Brother Thaddeus: Rime of the Frostmaiden.
(OOC: we wait for Reginald and whomever else wishes, to decide what to do with the Manticore. Then we can continue the scene...)
"Maybe we should ask the midwife for her opinion, it was her it was trying to eat?"
Reginald gets off the creature and staring it right in its eyes, "Here is the deal for you creature.

"Just gonna remind you guyz, guard dogz iz haz to be paid for out of company budget."
She turns to Ms Gwynn and offers, "You needz piggyback ride?"

Seruk will gather up the spines and tuck them away for now.

"We will defend the area to the best of our ability, but as you said, it was luck we were here in time. Do you have a way to contact the city?"
