This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The manticore has failed to notice that Jack has revived Reverie, or that (while staying prone) she is up to 12 HP.
Jack's boomerang clocks it in the head. But there are two easier targets out in the open. The arrow that plunges in it's backside for 12 damage makes it decide to send 3 more tail spikes at Trim.
Attack1: 15 Damage: 4, Attack2: 6 Damage: 11, Attack3: 25 Damage: 11 (Trim hit once for 10. Good for Trim, bad for manticore.)
It drops down to 80' in altitude. (It is almost out of tail spikes.) It is surprised by the icy blast of Froskan's chromatic orb. (Total damage after this hit = 53 points). It growls in rage, but uses its remaining fly speed to go back up to 100' height and 10' towards the forest.
(Party can post their round 4 actions.)
(Damage status... Manticore has taken 53 damage total. Reverie is prone (hp 12/28), Trim (11/25), Jack is prone (22/24), Froskan behind cover (10/23), and Theren (24/24). )

Reverie stands up from prone and then moves along with Trimyrai. Hopefully, she could help the others by sensing the others with her Divine Sense. She starts to wonder if there are another evil creatures around them other than the Manticore.

Trim puts another arrow into the manticore's leg. It is badly wounded, but still flying.
Reverie does not not sense any unnatural beings in the vicinity. (Monstrosities don't ping on her Divine Sense.) She does grab one of the tall spikes near her. It is a match for the donkey wounds, and a flying manticore would explain why the merchants did not see anything on the ground chasing away their donkeys.

"Hey! I'm down here!" Jack runs to his boomerang and proceeds to chuck it once more. Attack: 17 Damage: 4 "Froskan! Hit that thing as hard as ye can!" (Bardic inspiration!)
Jack's boomerang hits the manticore in the side, and it falls for a moment before the wings beat again. Clearly wounded.
Trim had run underneath the manticore to get a better shot. Realizing its peril, the manticore unleashes the last of its tail spikes at Trim, then continues flying 50' in the same direction towards the forest.
Attack1: 16 Damage: 5, Attack2: 11 Damage: 5, Attack3: 25 Damage: 18(Trim is at 0 HP, unconscious, and prone.)
The manticore has taken 64 damage total, is 100' up and 60' away from the party (50' horizontally away from Trim, 115' diagonally from Jack).
(Froskan still has the bardic inspiration, but has to burn the slot for the readied spell, even though he couldn't use it.)

Jack stands up and runs to his boomerang. if he can reach it without dashing, he moves to get it and attacks. (Attack: 7 Damage: 6)
if he cant reach the boomerang without dashing, or isn't in range when he gets his boomerang, he dashes, stops to pick up the boomerang, and continues to charge toward the Manticore. "Hey ugly! Come back here! Don't ye want your 'tasty man-elf flesh'?" (he says that In a dumb and mocking voice)
(is trim down? If so....)
jack notices Trim is down and casts a healing word on him. "Trim! You're not gonna die tonight! You were made for this! You will survive!" (Imagine that in a melody) Heals:4
Jack makes once last heave, which narrowly misses the manticore, an impressive throw at this extreme range.
He notices that Trim is down, even if Trim was oblivious to that fact :-), so casts Healing Word on Trim to get him up to 5 HP. Trim gets one last shot (resolves next round) but is unable to wound the manticore more.
(No more ranged attacks from this point on. It is still in bow long range, but weaving between the trees and the landscape are making it impossible for an arrow shot. You can still observe that the manticore's path is a straight line towards the forest.)

Reverie checks a tall spike that she grabs. Her blue-green shines for a split second, noticing the wounds from the donkeys were matching. "... Now, it all makes sense." She mumbles as she looks towards where the Manticore flying to. "Let get going to finish the Manticore." Then, she starts to move toward the forest.

Seeing the manticore trying to fly away to the forest, Froskan follows Reverie after it, using his Flexible Casting to recover a second level spell slot on the way.
(i didn't notice the edit with me being unconcious)
(The first edit had the attack rolls, but I have to post it in order to see what the result is. I forgot to put a note that another edit was forthcoming. But that crit for the 3rd attack was serious damage.)
Froskan and Reverie get to the top of a nearby hill, and are joined by the others. While it is too far to attack, you are watching where it is going. The manticore reaches the forest's edge, flying at the top of the trees, flying (and Dashing) in that same direction for another minute. Then it drastically veers to the right for another half minute, then drops straight down.
You look around the landscape to take your bearings. While you will have to search around a bit once you get there, your group has a pretty good idea where the manticore landed in the forest.
(Edit: While you were observing its flight, your group had a few rounds to do other actions, like Second Wind and Flexible Casting.)

Reverie watches the Manticore flying on its escape path even though itwas a stunning view on the hill.Watching Manticore's action, she could see that it is tiring from the violent fight and damages they made. After a moment, shestartsmoving her steps towards the point where it fell onto."Is everyone all right?"Sheasks a bit late about her companions' well-being, but sheneedsknowing if they are surely fine.

(Actually, I was thinking about to use it for the group c:! But I'm wondering if I could use them on both at once. ;-;)
Reverie looks at Trimyrai when he asks her back for her well-being. Humming escapes from her lips as she shrugs slightly. "I'm all right. I'm sure I can use my weapons this time." She mumbles before she looks down on her hands, deciding using Lay on Hands. "First of all, we need to get ready before we would face Manticore again." After her words finished, she uses her Lay on Hands on Trim (6 HP) and Froskan(6 HP).
