They would seem to bear at least a superficial resemblance to a crow or other carrion resemblance, though as mentioend above they are somewhat smaller and their colour scheme is a little different. They have sharp, hooked beaks that account for the unpleasant wounds suffered by Systar. Beyond that, little more can be seen. Nothing, at any rate, that helps to explain the attack.The other presumed mercenaries are not yet in evidence. Dresda seems rather taken aback by your suspicion, and seems rather nervous as she replies 'these birds are fairly common where I come from, so I'm familiar with them. They're just pests, and they eat meat so sometimes they'll attack if you seem like a possible target. Fire drives them off.'  You get the distinct feeling she is not telling you the whole truth. At this point the hatch opens down on the deck and Vel pokes his head up, grinning as normal. 'Well, I see you did a good number on those birds. Should have been easy enough with a mage on your side, huh? I had no idea the old book worm was so spoiling for a fight as to teleport straight up here when we told her what was happening.'</blockquote>
