Grilled Crow with Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes
1 1-1/2 pound crow
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Juice and zest of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Debone crows, beginning at top of bird along either side of breast bone. Using a sharp knife, work your way down each side of carcass trying to remove as much meat from bone as possible, to make 2 halves. Leave in leg and wing bones, but discard carcass (or save for stock). In a shallow nonreactive container large enough to hold both halves of crow combine honey, allspice, orange juice and zest, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Add crow halves, turning to coat; meat should be completely covered with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once. Preheat grill for 30 minutes. When it is medium-hot, place crow halves on grill, skin side down, for 8 minutes. Watch carefully -- it can burn easily because of honey in marinade. When first side is browned, turn and move halves to a cooler section of grill. Finish cooking about 12 minutes more, or until meat is no longer pink when you make a small slit down to the bone. Serve with sweet potatoes (recipe follows).
BOURBON-MASHED SWEET POTATOES:
1 pound sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons brown sugar, (optional)
1/4 cup light or heavy cream, room temperature
1/4 cup good-quality bourbon
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons snipped chives, for garnish
Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and roast at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until tender. As soon as you are able, using a potholder or kitchen towel, peel potatoes and add to work bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add butter, sugar, cream and bourbon. Process to incorporate everything. Season to taste. If you wish, shape sweet potatoes into quenelles before serving. Garnish with chives, sprinkling them all over plate. Yield: 2 servings

Enlarge and Widen are my two favorite metamagic feats. (I call them left and right...) But then I like wars in my game, and an enlarged or widened fireball can make a world of difference in a mass combat. Oh look, his command is within enlarged range... Oh look, a widened fireball covers the entire unit!

If a raven's following you, in a normal setting it would probally have been sent by a druid/ is a druid, or a wizards familar. So the first thing I would do is try to think of any wizards or druids that I know. If there was an wizard or druid with a known grudge against the party I would kill the raven the best I could as it was probally sent by a enemy. Otherwise I'd let it live but keep an close eye on it assuming I was not on a secretive mission. It could have just been a familar sent by a wizard living in the area and killing a wizards familar is a easy way to get a wizard mad at you.
