(oh, ok. I was waiting for you.) Jack catches his boomerang. "Heh. huh. We.... We should recharge. I don't have much magic left, or skill. And Froskan, ye're probably out too. We know where it went. We should just... Get our magic back and crap." Jack points to (whatever direction it went). "We also need ranged weapons. half of ye couldn't hit the giant thing."
(It is very near death. It is out of tail spikes, so it will have to get within melee range if it fights back. Choices are to look for it where you saw it go down, or take a short rest and give it time to get away.)

Actually... Jack smiles. "We should chase it. It's probably almost dead, and if it keeps running, it'll get tired. We can kill it!" Jack Hands Froskan his dagger. "Ye might need this."
Your group walks to the forest's edge, and where you think the manticore landed. You don't find anything at first, but after a few circles, find fresh monster blood. You follow it another 50 yards, and see it leads into a pile of boulders. There is a dark opening between the rocks (big enough for a manticore), a larger space hidden under the earth. The early afternoon sun shines down, but you can't see how deep the chamber goes.

Reverie hums as she looks at the evidences of Manticore’s falling. As soon as her eyes gaze at the chamber, she frowns ever so slightly since the chamber seems to be very deep. ”Maybe we can finish this time. Jack, can you see the inside of this chamber? I can use a torch but I’m afraid it would notice us right away.”

"I'm not tapped out yet," Froskan says. "I still have some magic left to me. And better we track it down and finish it off now while it's near death then giving it the time to rest and recover as well." He looks at the dagger that Jack is trying to hand him and 2 daggers of his own from his belt. "Need it for what?" he asks as he resheathes his daggers. "I generally prefer to just stick to magic anyway."
(I've still got 2 second level and a first level spell slot after using my flexible casting, I'm good for spells for a few rounds at least :P)

"A dark cave hidden in the rocks," Froskan says. "That's not ominous or anything." He casts a Light on a small rock and looks at the others. "Shall we see if we can see how far it goes before we walk in?" he asks the others, miming throwing the glowing rock into the cave.
"I think that is a good idea," Reverie replies to Froskan, "but we just need to be careful. Manticore maybe injured by our attacks, but it is still threatening to us."

The pebble bounces in. Hard to see too much while staying back from the entrance, and with the sunlight outside being much brighter than the Light.
There appears to be a half-eaten deer carcass a bit inside the entrance. There is still blood dripping from some of the bite wounds, so this is very recent.

Reverie looks at the deer that has been half-eaten, and then she darts look back at her companions for a moment. ”Let us go in.” She says quietly before she walks into the cave slowly.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Reverie steps to the opening, something obscures the Light from the pebble. She raises her sword in defense, but the Manticore still charges into her and attacks 3 times.

Reverie grins as she heard what Jack encourages. Then, she charges toward the Manticore and slashes with her scimitar to Manticore. After that, she let her dagger piercing into its wound.

(Froskan misses. Reverie's dagger misses. This will be close...
Theren still to go. He is attack will determine if the manticore survives to strike again.)

Froskan tosses the rock into the cave to see what that can learn.
Trimyrai carefully follows the party, watching our backs.

Bite attack: 16 Damage: 9
Claw1 attack: 14 Damage: 6, Claw2 attack: 21 Damage: 9
Reverie only has 12 HP (didn't heal herself?), but fortunately her armor and sword work deflect all 3 of the manticore's attacks. (OOC: DM says, bah!)
Some of the manticore's wounds have healed (!), but it is still in bad shape.
(Party is not surprised. Surround and pound, as you like.)

Trimyrai is going to move so he has a clear shot at the manticore and attack.
Movement: Trimyrai is going to move so that he has a clear shot at the manticore and so he wouldn't hit anyone in the party.
Action: Attack: (my range 150 (600) ) 17 (attack with longbow/piercing)
Damage: (if it hits) 7 (piercing damage)
Bonus Action: no bonus action this turn.

Now that the manticore is visible, Froskan stays outside of the cave and well away from the creature as he launches yet another Chromatic Orb at it.
Attack: 18 Damage: 11

Distressed by its wounds and Reverie fending off its attacks, the manticore switches to Theren.
Bite attack: 20 Damage: 6
Claw attack1: 22 Damage: 9, Claw attack2: 19 Damage: 6
Theren takes 19 points of biting and claw damage (5/24 HP), but deflects the last claw attack.
Everyone is up. (Deep voice: Finish it!!)
