Rules for the count

I wanted to make sure everyone knows the rules I set for the bird count because there were some decisions I had to make.

A bird will only be counted if it is said by Brennan or an NPC. If a player says a bird, it will not go towards the count.

Each individual mention of a bird counts as 1 bird.

If a bird is part of a proper noun (aka Falconer's Rebellion, Crow Keepers), it will NOT be counted, as to me that is in the category of title and not description. If it is in the word in an item or descriptor (aka bird cage, chicken feed), it WILL be counted, as to me it is within descriptor category.

On my end, birds count is measured by bird name, episode, month, and overall total. I also keep a tab on which episode has the record for most birds. As months go on I will also keep a monthly tab.

More rules may come up as I see fit but this will be updated if changes come. If I miss any please let me know the episode and general chapter it's in. I know I'm behind and I appreciate all of your patience and enthusiasm. I do have a full time job that takes up a lot of my time and spoons so I have a feeling I will always be slightly behind but we're doing the best we can.

See you all for more birds!

"Blackbird" - personal work, inspired by my hometown. Blackbirds are my favourite - they sing so beautifully.

Episode 8 (34:29-35:02)

Wick: He's quite confident, so I guess that's what it'll just have to be then. You two, knights and the man in the crow costume.

Crow Guy: It's not a costume.

Wick: I'm sorry?

Crow Guy: It's not a costume.

Wick: Oh, a uniform?

Crow Guy: Mantle

Wick: Mantle

Crow Guy: The symbol of the Baron of Sloak is the mantle of the crow's feathers: the most cunning of birds. You would do well to remember this.

Sam: Is that Sloak telling me or the guy-

Brennan: The guy in the crow armor, Yeah

Episode 8 (31:46-32:14)

You see that he and two of the knights and one of his Crow Keeper companions begins to walk with you. Wick, you look and see this crow-mantled person is wearing full what looks like brand new made full plate armor, but you can see is walking with a wince every time they walk in this armour moving forward with it.

Episode 7 (3:33:56-3:34:15)

Towards the front, one of the men with the crow cloak looks out and goes,

Sir Gulley Breeches: Oy, what are you doing? Announce yourselves!

Wick: We are emissaries from the House Halovar.

Sir Gulley Breeches: What?

Episode 7 (3:31:29-3:31:53)

That caravan is headed out. You actually see another group that is starting to head out from Castle Sloak which looks like--

Laura: Those are all the knights.

Yeah, it looks like two of the knights and three or four other guys are coming out, one of them is a crow-cloaked guy, are beginning to ride down. Thimble, you remember Casamir saying, "go out into the village and" you know.

Episode 7 (3:18:12-3:19:05)

He looks and says-

Casamir: I watched him. I watched him look up, saw the terror in his face when he saw that fucking falcon. He always believed.

And you see that Univere hasn't spoken, whips her head up and says-

Univere: Falcon. He saw a falcon? Do you speak poetically? Answer me quickly.

And you see Casamir says "Who the fuck-*chokes*" And you see that he is raised off the ground. You don't see any movement on Univere's part, and then he suddenly drops and she says-

Univere: Answer me now or die.

Casimir: A real falcon, he just saw a real falcon. It was the last thing he saw before he died.

Episode 7 (3:10:17-3:11:15)

Up on top of a parapet that looks like nobody can even reach because the stairs have crumbled inside the tower, so the top of the tower is effectively only reachable to by you and crows. You looked down to the courtyard.

Just as the caravan is about to pull up, you see there in the courtyard, surrounded by six knights and a number of men-at-arms, and what looks like two Crow Keepers that are massaging their chins two just straight-up Dol-Makjar rogues. You kind of even recognize them by their faces. You see in a broad-mantled, freshly made black cloak, black crow feathers, stalking, kicking these loose moss-covered rocks back and forth, just soaking under the rain, is Casimir Gavendale.

Episode 7 (46:47-47:23)

Kattigan, I think you're first up. And you can actually hear, for the first time, the distant noise of a finch or some kind of robin coming back into a part of the forest that you realize when you were coming here from Hawthorne's Glade had had no insect life, no birdsong. You just hear a brave little songbird has come back to explore this part of the forest and you feel that you have made the right call in terms of getting off the forest floor.

Episode 6 (2:59:18-2:59:38)

You see the owl looks up at you and goes:

Owl: *groans* Thank you kindly sir. That's a kindness you've done. It's a pleasure and an honor. You're not a fairy at all.

Episode 6 (2:54:58-2:55:58)

You see that crystal glowing, and I think, you are over by this moss bed where are lot of sick fairies are being tended to. You see, there's one of them, as you approach there's an owl lying on the ground with a broken wing.

But as it shifts, you realize that it's not an owl, it's a fairy who--you know Howl in Howl's Moving Castle? He has the jacket over his shoulders. The wings of the owl are a jacket over this little fairy's shoulders and there is an owl head with real owl eyes and a beak coming down, but it cuts at the edge of the feathers and becomes a jaw of skin and normal teeth.

So it's like this halfway between almost puppet-looking little owl fairy. But you do see that the wing, even though it looks like an article of clothing, is moving and is broken, and is being tended to.

Episode 6 (2:48:15-2:48:52)

I saw him in the forest holding the scroll that he had come here with, that he had shown to me. He was either in possession of it some time ago, or perhaps I saw a vision of something to come. But he looked out at wide fields and rolling hills, old stone walls of the kind that farmers keep in their old ways. And I saw a fluttering of crow's wings and him clapped in irons. Wagon wheels on a road.

Episode 5 (3:18:29-3:19:30)

In the earlier part of the night, you see that one last time, the little old gnomish man walks out, walks out of his front door, looks over at you, and sort of acknowledges that you're out here patrolling and you see he goes over, he's like--sort of final things he's doing is he ushers the little hens back into a coop that he locks up as it's getting dark. And you see, he goes over one last time and reflexively, you can see he's agitated. He goes over, adjusts the banner again and looks to the little hanging light, he goes and fixes it, so the candle's a little more straight in the little hanging beacon lantern. Looks at it, looks out at the valley, looks at it.

Jesus Christ Brennan, we've nearly doubled the amount of birds in 11 minutes

Episode 5 (2:55:22-2:55:43)

Robbie: He's currently chasing your grouse around, but not in a murdery way. Just in kind of a playful way.

Ulbid: Well, all right, be careful around those grouse. There's a false ledge on the other side of the cliff and they often evade predators by going there and just falling over the edge and pow.

Robbie: *whistles* Wulfric runs right back to me into the water.
