[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8445311, member: 59816"] It wasn't long before an opportunistic crow showed up. At first, it eyed Angis' food suspiciously. Then it swooped down and ate. When Angis spoke to it, it hopped back a few steps, then cocked its head to one side. It wasn't good at counting large numbers, but could communicate that there were three camps. One here in the gully, one in the ruins of the castle, and one on the north side of the hill, just inside the forest. Each held "many" orcs - a number that Angis took to be around a score, give or take. The crow was able to relate to Angis that they also had various "smelly wolves" - trained animals that could be anything from the battle-pigs near here to actual wolves, the crow was unclear. The crow also reported that it had seen in the castle, a giant that "smelled of death" - whether this was an ogre, or an actual giant, was impossible for the crow to say, but the way the crow described the death-smell made Angis concerned that it was probably undead. Finally, the crow warned Angis that the western side of the hill was dangerous. It was difficult for the crow to explain why, other than that the area was home to "sneaky snakes" that would "eat you up" if you didn't "fly away fast". Better to avoid the place, warned the crow.
