But as you try to look upon your triumph, all you witness is a glimpse of a harpy's feast upon a heaped banquet of human entrails. You reel back, staggering and stumbling in shock and horror, and the Horned Crow soars upward in wicked triumph - for you have barely hurt it, at all.
Madame Blackwood is whimpering and huddled beneath one of the overturned library shelves - she appears to be attempting to swaddle her own face with her arms, as if somehow this would insulate her from what she is witnessing.
You wonder briefly if this hideous creature is toying with you. Strangely, you hear a merry musical trundling noise accompanied by the sing-song laughter of a child. Is it something to do with the nature of this curse, and its wording? The Horned Crow Hunts... "FOR YOU", Madame Blackwood had screamed again and again, though she appears to be blubbering now and has lost her sanity. Perhaps this demon bird intends to kill all those around you first, make you watch their suffering, before delivering your end. How can you unravel this curse?

QM: you can write in as many actions as you want, but I will generally prioritise the first few or so. You can attempt to coordinate multiple actions eg give a club to Madame Blackwood and tell her to attack, whilst you fire the gun etc. Remember to roll all the necessary dice required for your actions if you attempt this... The Horned Crow attacks again only after your choices above have been completed.
>Try asking the Crow to spare us
hehe this is actually not that far off, but you need to break the curse first...
