The three vulture brothers perch on the rock outcropping that forms a partial wall around the campsite, gobbling down scraps of roasted bulette meat tossed to them by the adventurers, or by the gladiators and harem women. Mmmm! Yes! Just as Wulfgar said! Like tender baby chicken-shark! How would you know what either tastes like, dummy!? All we have had to eat until today is carrion: rotten hyena, lizards, snakes, and rodents! Don’t call him a dummy, you idiot! Hahahaha!

We are the Buzzard Brothers Three! I’m Jonas Buzzard! I’m Caspar Buzzard! And I be Eli Buzzard! The three vultures continue to gorge themselves on the entrails of the slavers... These be good eating you’ve killed, good sir! More of the same, if you please! Now don’t eat so much you can’t fly, Jonas! Gluttony has its price, remember? Yes! Let’s not have a repeat of the hyena carcass incident! You ate so much you couldn’t fly and were almost dinner for that lioness! Oh Allah! Don’t remind me of that! I’m still having nightmares!
Do you hear that brothers? We are a vital part of the Circle of Life! Very important persons, as it were! Well of course we are, brother! I knew that much! Ooh! The guts are intact! I love it when I get to pull out the guts! Dibs on the man-ape’s guts! You cannibals can eat the Tengu’s guts! Har har harrrr! After breaking fast on the guts of the slavers, the vultures are inclined to agree to Wulfgar’s proposal of working as aerial reconnaissance in trade for a steady supply of carrion to eat... Yes, we brothers will keep eyes out for the Desert Jackals, and clean up their messes to boot, shan’t we brothers? Damn straight! Hell yuss!

Grabbing the captains corpse by the hair of it's head, he drags the torso away from the tiger, tossing it a little distance from him, he calls to the vultures, "Come carrion eaters, feast, I would speak with you." Hey, brothers! Hear that? This kindly gentleman is serving us breakfast! He only wants to have a little chat in return... What say you, brothers? Can we trust him? What if it’s a trick to lure us down there and let their tiger gobble us all up!? Did you think of that, my bird-brained brother? Quiet, you carrion-heads! Don’t give him any ideas... Let’s just have a little taste of the breakfast he offers and hear what he has to say from a respectable distance, right? The three vultures drift down in a spiral until they land about thirty paces from Wulfgar and the proffered limbs of Captain Barak and the Tengu... |
