Six of them. Just sitting in the poplar tree in the back yard.

Staring. Cawing. Waiting.


I'd take a photo but I'm certain they'd know. And come for me. THEY WOULD KNOW.

Step 3) ????

I'm fairly certain that that would result in merciless cock-pecking.

Heh. Pecker-pecking.

The early bird does get the worm...
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Take a look outside your front window. You might find that the Wickans are in town.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

I've heard that crows have figured out how to use things like paperclips as tools.

Can a crow pick a lock? Lets see shall we.

When the war is done, there won't be anyone except the crows and their supporters...

Do you have any empty babies lying around that perchance needs a soul? I'm sure if you just give it to them, they'll go away.

I suggest you send in the cavalry girl friend while you cower behind the couch. In return for her solving your animal trouble, you can be pantsless and at her beck and call for services best performed without pants on? Seems a win-win situation.

This may look funny but it's serious business, Rodeo. Crows are fucking cunning animals, and they have surprising amounts of humanlike behaviours and intellectual abilities. Pray you never wronged any crow in your life, because if you have, they will know. Every crow in the country will know you did - also who you are, and where you live, what you look like.

Seriously, brace yourself.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Crows are scary that way.

Also who was genius that decided that a large group of crows should be called a murder instead of flock or something that didn't sound like it would kill you.

Dunno, but that person might have been spot on about it.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
