[QUOTE="Jairami, post: 103181, member: 1148"] Again, forgive the lack of detail, I'm still in summary mode. :) Both Byron and Khuuld had knowledge of at least the location of the ruins Captain Gaedri was probably exploring, and between them they easily guided them there. Strangely, the normally peaceful countryside was more dangerous than it had been in years past. They had barely cleared the last of the spread out farmsteads when they encountered a small band of what Frederick would later identify as goblins. Khuuld let them know that goblins had begun roaming the countryside about 5 years ago but were usually content to poach animals or the occasional farm. They did not usually gather the courage to attack humans, or had not in this region in his memory---much less a party with three able bodied armed men. Further north they travelled, and they began seeing a large number of ravens as they walked. Some hear, some there, but hundreds of them, perched in the trees slowly emptying of leaves in the early winter. One night while camped, the night watchman, Collin at the time, noticed a larger than average rat doing nothing but seemingly watching them. More disturbing than that was the way it's eyes seemed to catch the remaining fire light, they seemed to glow red in the darkness. With a gesture an icy [i]ray of frost[/i] struck the rat and it fled just as a normal rat would. Shrugging, Collin wrapped himself tighter in his cloak and scooted closer to the fire's warmth. The next day's travel would prove even more disturbing as the ravens grew more and more thick in the branches above them. Even worse, among the predominantly yellow-eyed carrior eaters was interspersed the occasional red-eyed raven that set everyone's nerve's Collin's especially on edge. Tired of the tense silence, Khuuld decided to show everyone they were just birds, though even he couldn't explain why so many of them were around. Unshouldering his longbow, he skewered one with ease. It plummeted to the earth in a rain of black feathers. Then all hell broke loose. Ravens by the hundreds began diving at the group swooping down with the ear shattering din of hundreds of raven calls. The group ran for their lives, dodging back and forth between trees trying to get away from what seemed a living malevolent black cloud of ravens trying to swallow them whole. At the last desperate moment, the ruins they had been searching for came into view and they dove into it's semi-shelter. [/QUOTE]
