Villagers talked about a strange disappearance of adventurers, often found scorched and bloodied with mysterious feathers and scratch marks on nearby trees. Taking up the quest from the Tavern to hunt the mysterious monsters down, you venture into the forest, tracking the bird like footsteps. Cutting through bushes you hear a sound of rippling feathers. Alerted, you turn to the direction...

~Vrrrrt

you turn behind you, before hearing it again...

~VRRT ~VRRTTT

Twice, you turn all around you, only to have your calf sliced and your arms quickly bonded by tall, humanoid birds dawning tribal bird masks. They drag you deeper into the rainforest as you are pulled through mud, grass, and perhaps poop...

Tossed onto the ground, you look around yourself, surrounded by these Bird beings. they speak a odd language...

*"Ch ch cha ch cha?..."

you look up at them, confused and scared before a booming voice was heard behind you, sitting on a throne perched on a small building

Umvuthi: "HUMAN! Enlighten me of the reason why you waltzed into my grove without permission? I should have my raptors slice your arties!"
