*In the failing, erratic light of Ravenholm, a pale shape launches from a dark crevice, arcing toward your skull. Its trajectory collapses mid-flight, the creature tumbling in a graceless heap at your feet. It lacks the defining, piercing beak of its kind. A pitiful, keening sound escapes it as it drags itself up your leg and onto your head, where it settles, not with violent intent, but with a gentle, persistent nuzzling against your scalp.*
