Jokad shoves the front door open with his shoulder and strides out confidently (or at least looking confident). There are hundreds upon thousands of sickly looking ravens perched quietly across the entire area, covering every square foot of the ruins. These ravens are disturbingly silent and still, watching as you all move outside the house onto the path.
Mal growls. Kael silences him with a reassuring stroke, but he can feel the tension coursing through the body of his loyal friend.
Danth doesn't like the look of these things. It is not so much the fact that their small bodies have turned the ruins black, but that he can see an edge of red in their eyes, and on some a form of decay that shows too much of the fragile bone structure that lies below their feathers. He things they may be undead, or at least tainted in some way.
The group move forward hesitantly, walking in a tight group, moving slowly down the path. The ravens follow your progress. You make it some forty yards from the door to the mansion before they finally, inevitably, take to flight. It happens quickly, as if some invisible message has been passed between them, and they rise almost as a single body into the sky.
Hundreds. Thousands. The sky turns black with their bodies.
And then they begin the swoop towards you that you knew would come.
OOC: Friadoc ... good film, but these birds are not Bolivian. I checked the stat-block
