Thilael unsheathes his rapier and runs to Gorarel's side. He starts chanting and then slowly lifts his left hand. Sparks begin circling the hand, building into a core of flame which he then throws towards the Manticore.

As Sindrall brings sacred fire down upon the Manticore, it flaps its wings once and jumps to the side evading it.
Following the beast's movement with trained eyes, Gorarel releases the arrow right when it landed, giving it no change to dodge. The arrow pierces its shoulder and it lets out a roar. "I'm not leaving here with an empty belly, human! Not with Cryovain keeping the best hunt for himself."
Thilael makes use of the distraction to send a bold of fire at the Manticore, however, the cover makes it hard to hit and he only manages to singe one of its ears.
Sora Gramm Liliana you're up next. Post in any order, I'll resolve you're actions according to the initiative.
Liliana continues to sneak round the western side of the fence, seeing the window on the southern side of the building. Taking a moment to ensure that the manticore sounds sufficiently distracted she dashes over the fence to get to the window before opening it and climbing inside the house.

Gramm (saddened by the loss of an M) rushes forward from the fence line issuing a bellowing roar, moving to the east side of the building in an attempt to provide an opening for Liliana. He pulls a javelin from his pack and hurls it towards the beast.
Sora starts running towards the Manticore, ready to dodge any incoming attack. Gramm is running just behind. He throws his javelin over Sora's head, but also over the Manticore, his aim too high. Liliana sees the javelin fly past just as she reaches the southern wall of the mill. She realises she will have to do some climbing, as there is no window at ground level.
Sora's Nature check:
You see no obvious weak points. You do get a good count of the spikes in its tail, 14. You remember reading that they grow back when the manticore is sleeping.

Seeing that it is outnumbered, the Manticore takes off and lands on the roof of the windmill. Managing to balance itself, it flings its tail over its head sending three spikes at targets on the other side of the iron fence. One of the spikes hit Sindrall square in the chest, he's armour softening the hit (4 damage), while the other two spikes fall short.
Gorarel, Sindrall, Thilael you're up next, post in any order.

Sindrall grunts as he knocks the spike out of his chest armor muttering to himself that tis but a flesh wound, realizing that the Manticore's attention is now on him and those near him Sindrall utters a prayer and the amulet to Helm wrapped around the handle of his warhammer starts glow. A feeling of lightness falls on himself, Gorarel and Thilael.

Gorarel mutters to himself: "well at least the dead can't be hungry".
More audible for the Manticore: "Is this Cryovain the name of the dragon per chance? If you tell us information and leave this woman, and other residents of the area alone, we won't kill you".

Gramm collects his javelin testing it for damage. He thinks to himself let's try hit something this time.
He plants his feet and draws a bead on the manticore perched on the roof of the windmill. He steadies his arm and slows his breathing, pulls back and throws a javelin at the creature.
Liliana climbs up to the second story window before dropping into the windmill. Jogging through each room until she find the midwife. "Lets get out of here" she says to Adabra "The Manticore is on the roof now - and my companions are keeping him nice and distracted. If you have any healing potions or poison I can dip my arrows in I wouldn't say no to grabbing those on the way out".
Taking the midwife's hand she pulls her out of the room and starts to make her way to the ground floor door.
"Now just keep him nice and distracted so we can walk out the front door"she prays quietly to herself before motioning to Adabar to stay quiet. Drawing her bow she unbolts the front door. If the Manticore notices them she is prepared to launch an arrow at him and if they have remained unseen she's prepared to run with Adabar to the fence and get behind cover.
As Gorarel was preparing the arrow, Thilael closed his eyes and started chanting again while energy was being formed in his left palm. I can do it this time! Just...concentrate...and you can do it...
As his last thoughts gathered, Thilael opened his eyes looking directly at the creature and hurled the Fire Bolt towards it.
Fire bolt fizzes past the manticore and the iklwa hits the roof and slides back down to Sora's feet.
The Manticore replies to Gorarel "You think you are in a position to make demands? Learn your place, human!" The Manticore bristles its tail and shoots three spikes in Gorarel's direction, annoyed at repeatedly getting hurt by the ranger.
The spikes hit home, one of them pierces Gorarel's thigh and two in the abdomen and he staggers backwards and falls unconscious.
Rolls:
To hit: 242116 - all three spikes hit

Now that's how you roll!

Gorarel opens his eyes startled, feeling his limbs ache, he pulls himself up to see the Manticore in front of him.

Sindrall uses his Medicine skill to assess the manticore
He speaks loudly and clearly to the Manticore "Your ribs are broken and you clearly have a punctured lung, without assistance you will die a very painful and slow death, however tell us what we want to know and between myself and midwife we can prevent this from occurring, the other choice is you continue to fight and your death is certain...it is up to you!"
