About
"Where am I?" You wonder...
The town was completely barren. Buildings were decrepted and decaying, their stone exteriors overrun by dead vines. The townhouses were empty, and bore that of being built in medival times. There was a fountain in the middle of the town, but it was dry and stained. The gargoyle that sat atop the column spat only small drips. The air was unfriendly and haunting. Perhaps it was the gallows by the far east that brought that feeling. The nooses hung loose and swayed in the cold winds. There were still large splatters of dried blood near the guillotine. As to be expected in such a town, there was a barrage of crows. The carrion creatures were in the dead oaks, atop the gates, everywhere! Once they see you, they began their shrilling chants of 'Cras!' 'Cras!'
A far off voice interrupts.
"Who is there?"
A sickly figure slunk from behind a broken wooden door in one of the townhomes. Her skin was horribly pale. Almost that of the dead. Her eyes were a pale yellow, to match. Clothes were worn and tattered, gray and in need of washing and repair. On her wrists were broken shackles, the chains hanging off each one and swung slowly as she moved. Hair was a dark, unnaturally purple colour. But all this was unimportant. It was obvious she cared very little of her appearance. Mild coughs escaped her as she stares you down, untrusting, suspicious. Finally, it appears she has made a decision...
"Get out..."
Before you can react, the barrage of crows begin to swoop down and surround you! All you can see is black and feathers! You fall back, raising your arms to your face to protect yourself from the sharp beaks and talons. At last, the crows disappear. You lower your arms to find yourself back in your own home. Was it all a dream? Looking down, there are a number of black feathers on your once nice clean floor...

The Crow Town
What is this strange little town you've come across? It looks nothing like the city you know. No tall buildings, no cement roads, no electricity... In fact, this looks like a ghost town from the 1700's! Crows surround the area, watching you...
