[Ravensfort] Ansteorrean Public Service Announcement

[Marivs]

Copperheads are what we have the most of at the Stones.  They like to nest
on the northern side of dry creek beds.  In the fall they start looking for
a den and so become territorial.  I have killed three in my campsite and a
young lady was bitten twice when she stepped of my bridge at Defender a few
years ago.  (I swear, the Assassins Guild had nothing to do with it.)  They
are also climbers.  (Never trust a snake that can climb trees.)
