Arana keeps Maerath from leaving and asks him to get someone else to stay with him overnight. Then she goes off to her room with Fian.
Yes, there are still many arcane casting instructors (Iulus, male elf wizard is an example)at the Academy, as well as a language master (Mailia, halfling, bard is a language instructor). The "town" is really tiny and has no sages or wizards that you are aware of. Essentially, the town is two blocks wide and maybe 8 blocks wrapped around the Imperial Road from the port toward the Academy. Most of the village is residential for the fisherman who help keep Drell supplied with food in the winter and for instructors and students who have chosen to live off campus.
rewrite!
Meanwhile, Rallyn crouches low and gathers himself, waiting for some kind of breeze or wind, waiting to attack the flapping mysterious creature.
He slides toward the edge of a tree, using it for cover, then strikes just as it turns around the stately pine using his psionic powers to make the wind blow it toward him. The powerful gust of wind seems to pass right through the creature, but it looks around now, as if noticing you for the first time.
Surprise Initiative
Rallyn 17
Victor 5
Victor Victor rushes forward as Rallyn jumps, hoping to flank the manta ray-shaped creature. His sword swings across the air in an upward motion, and his weapon also passes right through the creature. It's almost as if the monster is ethereal, or a phantasm.
as he prepares for next blow.
Next actions? It seems to be somewhere between your two initiatives.

"Well I think we've got a few leads to run with now, so I'll bid you all good night for now. Shall we meet up in the morning in the library, or is there any other spot that would be preferred by all of you? Also if anything happens please come let me know ok? I'm going to try and relax and meditate on what happened."
Ellie will wait for an answer then proceed to bed.

This is not good. It seems to be phased, meaning I'd need enchanted steel to even have a chance of scratching it.. Maybe..
Rallyn imagines himself on the mindscape, fully armed and armored and extends his will forward in a mind thrust at the creature.
Will Save DC 10 -8 nonpsionic buffer = 2 if not psionic or DC 10 +/- defense modifier if it is psionic.
Gotta love psionic combat. DC 2 against non-psionic creatures.

Kith reacts
Kith overhears Arana’s advice to Mearath. He steps in beside Mearath as he leaves.
“Arranna’s got a good point. We could switch for the night, if your worried. After all Rallyn and Victor have got some flying shadow critter cornered out in the courtyard..”
Weee! Excitement, they’re attacking it!
‘…in fact they’re attacking it now… What! Uh, go on without me Mearath, room 326a, in the corner, doors unlocked, don’t mind the mess…” Kith starts to sprint off towards Rallyn, Victor, and trouble.
Init 22 (roll 15+7 bonus)… Figure I am just moving to there for now

Ellie leaves the library in time to see the creature struggling with Rallyn outside in the courtyard.
We'll assume a decision was reached about where the group will meet up again
Initiative
Kith 22
Rallyn 17
Critter ?
Victor 5
Kith briefly discusses sleeping arangements with Maerath, then walks out into the courtyard in time to see Rallyn's attack. Not flat-footed, not surprised, used all actions to get here.
Rallyn realizes the creature isn't corporeal and instead attacks it with a Mind Thrust... which fails to work. Note: not made a save, but the attack mode failed as if the creature wasn't an appropriate target.
The creature turns, hisses toward you and strikes forward with claws extended toward you. Its talons skitter briefly across your unarmored form, hitting easily.
6 damage, 3 points of temporary STR loss
It's claws are inhumanely cold; it feels as if your very soul is being chilled.
We'll finish this round when Victor chimes in

Noticing that his sword can't hurt the creature, Victor drops it to regain balance.
Think quickly, think quickly. Focus!, his father's words echoes in his mind. Then he hear Rallyn's advice, and boldly jumps forward with his bare hands, hopefully giving him time to escape.
"Stay back! and use magic!" are his last words, then he sings the music Rallyn heard before, this time with a fierce tone.
At least they couldn't say I'm a coward, he thinks, then his mind flow into concentration.
Touch attack 12+3=15; Cast Cure Light Wounds on the defensive; Concentration 13+4=17(whew!); Damage 6+4=10
Yes, I know it'll probably drain me too, but I have something to prove to myself. I hope Rallyn is right.

Interrupting Arana's rest
Arana is walking down the path toward her room, when the shouting and commotion begins to pick up. She looks at Fian, staring intently into her eyes. Couldn't be...it didn't do anything before. Could it? We should take a look, just to be sure. Meow. Meow. Let's go! Before we miss something interesting.
Arana runs back towards the courtyard toward the location where she last parted with Victor. She ends up on the other side of the conflict and spies all the players in this production. "Undead!" "Use Magic!" "Spirits of light!" She is dumbfounded for a moment as she observes the others in action.
Initiative: 7 + 2 dex = 9
