Artemis opens his eyes and looks up at Demetrios. He groans as he accepts the paladin's aid in getting up again. "Thanks." After a very brief pause he adds "I may have deserved that."
(It's not Arty's turn again yet so officially getting up probably doesn't happen for a few more seconds, but wanted to update after the heal. Thanks Demetrios!)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Arty falls, but not for long. His very own knight and shining armour came to his rescue without missing a beat. Despite his own wounds, Demetrios assisted his neighbour, ensuring he was alright. Onu continues his methodical approach, ducking behind the stone fence for three quarter cover(+5) while KD and Lilly continue to toss kisses of fire. The artificer’s flame lands its target while the halfling focuses on making herself a smaller target in exchange, gaining half cover(+2 ac) in exchange for loss of accuracy.
Flicking it’s tail, the winged creature appeared rather pleased with itself when one of it’s attacks would finally strike one of it’s threats. It’s spikes appeared to have worked in slowing them down a bit. Of course, the beast still continued to growl in its discomfort from the beings closing in on its territory but now, it was laced with an underlining light purr. Slowly the feline would begin to pace a little in place. With it’s pray spread out amongst the field, it was contemplating it’s next approach to play. With a haunting rattle of its tail, it’d fire off more spikes!

Ouch! Though Lilly did not have time to say even that. Her flaming hair proved to be truly impractical on the battlefield and prone or not, but she was noticed by the creature and hit by that horrible needle! Now she was lying down on the ground, pale, motionless, silent body, pierced through by a long white needle.
Onu rolls towards the wall, landing in a crouch and looking back just in time to see Arty take a fresh breath of air through his shattered chest. This was bad. Maybe they had bitten off more than they could handle with this first outing.
He waited a beat while he contemplated his options. A beat that likely saved him as another volley of spikes came flying his way, one intended for him shattering against the stone.
There was nothing for it at this point. Escape meant hundreds of yards of open field he would have to run across while hoping he didn't get impaled.
Closing and finishing this was the best play. Not a good one, but virtually the only one.
Leaping over the stone wall, Onu moved quickly across the open ground, twisting the haft of his walking stick to reveal a wickedly sharp short-sword hidden within. The blade flashed as drove it in towards the vulnerable flank of the massive creature. Using the momentum from the swing, he brought his back leg around to strike at the same spot again in quick succession.

Arty's jest garners a snort from the paladin. "Think nothing of it. Can't guarantee I have more where that came from, however..." There's a flash of a frown on his face briefly before his brows furrow. "Let's try to do this with no more casualties--"
Just as the words escape past his lips there's a shriek from the bushes from way yonder, Demetrios remembering that their casters had hung back to keep flinging what they could at the beast. He was too far away to lend a hand this time, and he gives KD a look, hoping they had something up their sleeve to assist their fallen comrade before turning back and moving forth.
Demetrios was unsure if he could possibly take a head on attack from the creature, so instead, he chucks a javelin at the beast, and dips behind the wall for some much needed cover!

KD:
Slide to the RightLeft? (I'm willing to 'stretch time' using KD's description: 'She begins to get closer to the injured members of the group in case they needed further medical care' to move her in closer to Lilly (ahead of time) instead of Arty, if rkmobius is comfortable with it. This way KD could heal her and then move forward in Round 4.)

KD gets closer to Lilly, sees the spike wound, sees it's not fatal, looks up at the beast, and fires again with a growl.
Attack: 7 Damage: 6
She then drops down to her knees hoping for some cover from the terrain, and asks, "are you okay? I think I can help, I might have something..."and begins reaching into her pack.
(Plan is to do her version of cure wounds next turn, which will involve taking out a tube of magic cream, pulling the spike out, and using the cream on the wound, uttering the incantation Neosporin Bacitracin and healing some hp.)
Artemis gets to his feet and starts moving forward again, although now may head towards any cover close to the beast. Mostly to himself he says "well, this may require risking some old magic, if I can still manage..."
Artemis suddenly releases an Eldritch Blast at the manticore.
Initiative Lilly(U) | M | W | Arty | KD | Onu | Deme
Arty presses forward, tucking himself behind good cover of the fence. Once relatively safe, he accurately fires a ball of crackling energy towards the beast, wounding it.
From Lilly's side KD fires off another shot. It wasn't her best shot, landing far and wide of her target while Lilly lay motionless at her feet.
Onu took KD's 'flare' as a queue for cover fire. Hopping the barrier, he closes the gap on the winged creature. His blade strikes true, sinking deep into its flank and providing the monk with extra leverage for his follow up kick. His presence was surely known.
Demetrios then moves in to take Onu's place behind the cover of the fence. If the knight hesitated, it never showed. His javelin soars through the air and lands a sickening strike, topping off the groups reign of damage.
At this point, the manticore is certainly showing signs of being severely wounded.

Turning it's attention to the thorn in it's side, the creature would boom, "This is mine!" Onu was close enough to witness the sheer muscle behind its wild frame. Shifting it's weight to it's front paws the lion like creature would buck, kicking out it's powerful legs to lash out against the barred door. "Pest." Spits the creature before taking a snap at it.

Artemis stands from behind the wall and points his quarterstaff at the manticore. Most are probably too busy to notice, but his eyes turn black for half a second as he places a curse upon the massive beast before unleashing another ball of crackling energy with his free hand.
KD finally succeeds in pulling out the spike, and getting out her tube of cream, which begins to glow white as she calls out: "Bacitracin Neosporin" and casts cure wounds for 4 hp.
Lilly opened her eyes and good two seconds stared up unblinking and not understanding what is going on. "Did we win?" Finally asked the girl raising her head up and looking toward the mill. The monster was still there. "You son ... daughter ... whatever! of a biscuit!" She stood in the grass angrily sending another bolt of fire toward the monster:
Eyes locked on Onu, the creature reared it's powerful hind legs and smashed through the barricaded door like it was a thin piece of parchment. "Awe... The price of lumber's so high right now too..." Wood pieces splintered as far as the fence where Arty and Demetrios took cover. The monk proved to be too swift for its jaws though, only angering it more. It's tail rattled.
The woman in the window had lost her focus upon lifting the heated rock, dropping back inside, instead of out there. "Hot!"
Initiative Lilly(U) | M(s) | W | Arty | KD | Onu | Deme
The old man unleashes pain upon the manticore that could only match the wisdom of experience. The energy blast tears through it's collar bone and bursts out it's shoulder blade. At the top of its lungs it'd let out a cry of pain and anguish that'd echo through the hills, sending chills down the spines of those with a shred of empathy.
KD works swiftly. She removes the spike from Lilly and applies a specialty ointment to her wounds. It was enough to rouse the young halfling from her 'grass nap'.
On wobbly paws, the beast still stands. Blood pours from it's wounds. Red soaks its shiny fur coat and pools beneath it's feet.

With his back pressed up against the fence, Demetrios is able to catch sight of KD assessing Lilly's grievous wounds, garnering a breath of relief for the paladin, up until he hears the sickening crack of splintering wood. He peeks over the fence briefly with widened eyes, seeing the door of the windmill completely shattered. A breath catches in his throat now at the thought of the woman who was waving at them from the second floor, fearing the beast was after her.
When the creature tries snapping at Onu, and thankfully misses, Demetrios seizes the opportunity to chuck another javelin at it!

The woman’s head pops back up into view in the window. She’d hang out a bit to get a better look at the beast. “Damn manticore.”
Lilly rose from the grass and looked at the fallen monster suspiciously - it could still only play dead, right? Then she picked up the needle that struck her before (a souvenir is a souvenir, and for that one she almost died for!) and walked closer to the mill. "A manticore," repeated Lilly after the woman in the mill, "aha..." For a while she was lost to the world, simply walking around the beast, periodically poking as if still not fully believing they managed to kill such a monster. Eventually she snapped out of her fascination and looked at the mill. "It is safe, ma'am. You can come out now."What were they supposed to do here? Ah, convince a midwife to move to the town. Lilly felt like their job here is done - to her personally a manticore attack was an unbeatable argument. You can not be more convincing than that!
As the beast collapses in front of him, Onu deftly steps out of the way, not wanting to get any more gore or viscera on his suit. Wiping his blade on the monster's hide, he quickly surveys the scene, taking stock of the rest of his comrades, noting their injuries, disposition and reaction to the fall of the monster.
Turning back to the windmill he looks at the shattered door and then up at the woman hanging out of the window 'Ahoy there, seems like we got here just in the nick of time or you'd've had an uninvited dinner guest. '
Artemis opens his eyes and looks up at Demetrios. He groans as he accepts the paladin's aid in getting up again. "Thanks." After a very brief pause he adds "I may have deserved that."
