That'll work. As for the manticore,

He's not dead, just grievously injured, which means he's basically dead, but not really, with several fatal wounds that would kill him like broken bones and damaged internal organs, and he's almost dead, but not dead yet, so that means he's unconscious but can be mistaken for being dead, when he's not actually dead but looks like he is, but with a gigantic pool of blood to make it seem so, and he's not moving, so he's kind of dead.
