Ok,(sound of dice rolling) Hyperion DEFINITELY detects evil nearby, somewhere above you. As you look up to find where the evil is coming from, you see what looks like a large flying lion!

This creature is a monster in every sense of the word. It has the head of a vaguely humanoid beast, the body of a lion, and the wings of a dragon. The creature's back is set with curved barbs, and its long tail ends in a cluster of deadly spikes!
(It's a Manticore!!!)

(sound of dice rolling) They hurt... a lot. They can shoot spikes from their tails and it can probably smell you.

What are you going to do now?

"We need to get it to the ground where our best fighters can get to it with their swords. Luthien; you're the one with the bow, right? Can you get a shot at its wing?" Hyperion asks calmly, drawing his sword.

Ok, I'm gonna have to call it a night. Here's the first turn of combat.
Initiative Order
Luthien
Hyperion
Harshblade
Manticore
Hidan

(Turn 1) Luthien discoveres his bow is flaming! he shoots the Manticore and hits for 5 damage/4 fire damage. Harshblade shoots with his new crossbow, but misses. Hyperion shoots with his new Longbow, and hits for 3 damage. the Manticore shoots spikes at everyone and everyone takes 5 damage. Hidan holds his turn (Manticores can only shoot so many spikes).

What are you going to do now?

I take a very careful shot for the base of the wing ( where the bone-n-flesh part of the wing meets the body)
