[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8277883, member: 6915329"] My favorite encounter that I ever sprung on my players was supposed to use one of those, so they hold a dear place in my heart. There was a corpse in a field that was infested with one. And a ton of ravens around, who wanted to eat the corpse but were afraid of the carrion stalker. Enter the PCs, who saw all those hundreds of ravens, looking at [I]something [/I]they couldn't see (coz the ravens were in the way). Since ravens can talk and are, in the setting, fairly smart (smarter than real-world ravens) and [I]not evil[/I], they had the brilliant idea that they could ask the PCs for help. Since, y'know, humans have weapons and opposable thumbs and the like; surely they'd be willing to help these nice ravens get some yummy carrion to eat. So the ravens looked at the PCs, and with their limited bird vocabularies, said "Humans? Food? Food, humans, food!" And the PCs, as one, shouted "RUN!!!" And I could not stop laughing. [/QUOTE]
