How high up is the manticore?
If the manticore is higher than 30 ft...:
Seeing how the manticore is using cowardly tactics, Dhastrach considers the moment and casts bless. 50 ft. radius burst, emcompasses all allies. +1 morale bonus to attack and saves vs. fear for 6 minutes
If the manticore is lower than 30 ft...:
Dhastrach moves under the manticore, drawing his warhammer at the same time, and launches it from his palm towards the magical beast.
Hand of the acolyte (+1 warhammer):1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for Damage:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Belka winces and utters a curse at the manticore. She then drops her axe, draws her longbow and looses an arrow at the flying beast before stepping back behind the pillar.

It appears Ackuda's player (Capricornus) hasn't posted anything after 29th of April. It also appears he is involved in a number of PbPs, so I doubt he's neglecting.
Feeling confident, Dhastrach moves over to the manticore, and whacks the beast with his hammer. "Anáil, rround back!"

Anáil immediately drops his bow to close in on the beast, drawing his rapier at th same time. He strikes swiftly, flanking with Dhastrach.
Mwk Cold Iron Rapier, flank:1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Yaaaah! the crowd roars as Anail draws blood with a fierce rapier stab to the flank of the manticore. Bella swiftly moves in as well. Fight! Fight! Fight!, the crowd chants.
"Make up your mind!" Miyako yells in a frustrated cry at the manticore as she drops her longbow.
Something shifts in Miyako's appearance. A deep red fur appears all over her body and her face changes shape. A single tail becomes visible, poking out from a small hole in her skirt that her jacket hid.
Miyako 5-foot steps north so she's in a better position to attack the manticore in melee. She draws her rapier and stabs it at the creature.
The manticore battles the fox, and takes a stab from the fox' rapier. Miyako takes a nasty wound from a bite, then gets raked by a claw. Seeing his target down, the manticore has been trained to attack the next target, which turnout to be Dhastrach, who is just barely missed by a claw.

Belka takes a step to the side so that she can get into a flank position with Anáil and angrily looks at the manticore. "I will personally cut your head off and show it at the crowd when you die" she says to the monster.
I enter rage and make an Intimidating Glare against the manticore as a move action
While Miyako continues bleeding out, Dhastrach just barely hits the manticore on the head. Bella tries to intimidate the large creature, but other than a jeer from the crowd, het glare has little effect. More! More! Her strike with the great axe is far more effective, leaving a deep gash in the flank of the creature, blood colouring the sands red. Brewslee feints, then hits hard with his temple sword, adding a little cut to the tally.
Anail strikes at the manticore with showmanship, much to the pleasure of the crowd. Unfortunately, the move carries more show than sting, and goes wide.
The manticore hisses at raging Belka, and brings down the full fury of the maw and claws on the barbarian.
With a great cleave of the axe, Belka finally manages to take down the Manticore, allowing Dhastrach to quickly heal Miyako before the master of arena moves in. The crowd erupts in a cheers, and is well-warmed up now for the final match-up of the day.
Take a moment to heal yourself and recast any buffs you'd need. There about a twenty minute delay, the last ten of which are getting ready for the next fight.
I'll be on the road tomorrow, so sorry if setting up the next encounter takes a bit longer than usual

Anáil flourishes his rapier in front of the crowd, bowing and smiling to gain their favor. It's quite obvious there is more to it - the sylph apparently revels in this unexpected attention.

Belka cuts off the head of the manticore and triumphantly shows it to the crowd.
She then turns to Dhastrach and asks him if he is able to heal those who are wounded. "If not, you can use this magic wand" she says while handing him a wand of cure lights wounds.
Miyako opens her eyes again after Dhastrach heals her and gets back up. She takes her wand and asks him to use it on her. "If I use it now it'll put strain on my wounds."(Exactly 0 HP)

As the calm returns to the battle field, Dhastrach gets more time to examine the kitsune. He's obviously intrigued by the race's specimen. "A kitsune. Didn't know yourr kind venturre outside yourr landss in Tian Xia. You don't rreally give out a good imprression."
"I wished to learn more about the world I live in," Miyako tells Dhastrach. "See the world."
It takes a while before Miyako realizes something was said about the impression she made. "You mean I went down in front of everyone? Hmm, yeah I'll have to make up for that..."
The master of ceremonies gives Helkit and her Slayers a stirring introduction, exclaiming, “Now, Tymons, here’s the match you’ve waited for! It’s been years since she earned her status as one of our finest, but she’s lost none of her skill or style with an axe. Let her know how glad you are to see her fighting again—you certainly don’t want to be on her bad side! Helkit! Silverbane!”
The eastern gate opens, and Helkit leads a group onto the floor. She wears a patchwork assortment of armor, scuffed and showing signs of many battles. Nevertheless, it is clearly custom-fitted and in excellent repair. She holds a chain, attached to the collar of a pony-sized beast resembling a cross between a wolf and a tiger. Completing her team are a number of men and women clad in oiled armor and tabards of silver and crimson. They come to a halt. Helkit unchains her pet, then brandishes her greataxe aloft to the vocal pleasure of the crowd.

Dhastrach snorts and his face's right side starts to brighten on his black skin.
"A half-brreed and a sad bunch of oiled mannequins. I didn't know Helkit wass into thiss sorrt of lasciviousnesss. May Nethys guide uss to corrrect theirr wicked wayss."
The dwarf tries to determine whether the weird beast is a sorry result of an interspecies experiment or some otherwordly oddity. Or it could be a by-product of Rovagug worshipping, which would worry Dhastrach.

By making a perform (act/dance/oratory) check as a swift action you can 'play' the crowd to your advantage and get a bonus.
The crowd roars as Anail draws first blood! Miyako moves up, and Brewslee stumbles around, drawing flails from the slayers, but hitting them before they can hurt the monk.
If I'm also still allowed to make one of those perform checks:
Perform (Act):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Miyako points her rapier in the general direction of her foes and makes herself as big and threatening as possible. "Your time's nearly at an end! Prepare for ouchies!"
Miyako, I forgot about Dhastrach's damage and figure it's too late to retroactively heal; my mistake, so to speak. Nevertheless he has a lot of hit points, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Anáil, so that you remember I reiterate that Shield Other is still functioning. I had to move Dhastrach by his movement (20 ft) so that Anáil is JUST within that crucial 40 feet spell range. If at the end of both our rounds that distance is more, the spell ends.
Meanwhile, the silver slayers swarm down on Brewslee and Anail, flailing madly, without too much effect, save for a single bash on brewslee's shoulder.
