If everyone can get back to the cover of the trees Goven will throw his smokestick at where the trail came out at the open area where they found the corpses.
OOC: I was assuming the trail came out at an opening where the battle took place. If this is not the case, Goven will throw the thunderstick onto the trail between the party and the birds.

[Edit: I missed an important part of Silentspace´s post. Dunathar uses the surprise round to move, if the surrounding forest/brambles allow, to offer the crows less people to engulf. The regular round he shoots the crossbow, drops it, and draws the shortsword, moving again with the same purpose.]

Zook "Threetongues" Ningle, cleric 2 of Garl Glittergold
"By Garl Glittergold's Shining Pate, protect me!" Zook cries out, clutching a fragment of his holy text in his hand. The text dissolves into a shower of golden sparks, which forms a shield in front of the startled gnome. Taking out a flask of alchemist's fire, Zook prepares to throw it at the crazy crows.
[OOC - shield of faith, granting a +2 deflection bonus to AC, bringing Zook's AC up to 22. Move-equivalent action to retrieve an alchemist's fire.]

Raven Swarm
Goven backs up, grabbing a thunderstone.
Zook cries out "By Garl Glittergold's Shining Pate, protect me!" A shield appears before the gnome. Zook pulls out a flask of alchemist's fire.
Dunathar shoots his crossbow, also killing a raven. Dropping the crossbow, the dwarf moves off the animal trail into the heavy underbrush.
Manzanita fires an arrow, killing a raven.
The ravens coalesce into a whirling black mass of beating wings, snapping beaks and sharp talons. The swarm darts straight towards Manzanita with alarming speed, but just before the elf is engulfed, it swoops back, hovering defensively over the two corpses. Its looks possible to move around the swarm on the trail. (Moving off the trail would also work.) The swarm seems to screech as one, the shrill noise echoing through the forest.

Manzanita
Manzanita steps back as the swarm approaches.
"Fascinating" she murmurs. "Either there is something special about those bodies, or the woods are attacking only orcs. I suppose we should move along."
She offers a prayer of appology to the forest for her raven-slaying arrow.

"Move around," Zook clarifies, "Or move in a different direction?" He does not take his eyes off of the birds.

Goven manages to refrain from throwing the thunderstone (OOC-Just as well, I typed Thunderstick but I meant Smokestick, oops). He returns it to his pocket and puts a hand on the kukri on his belt.
"I would feel better if we avoided these creatures entirely," he says. "They are quite unnatural. Perhaps if we circle through the forest a off the trail a little way.
"Odd," he muses. "They did nothing until Manzanita approached. Then they came straight after her. Could it have something to do with her wizardry? Or that she is an elf?
"Perhaps they were just defending the bodies. But it is strange."
