WikiGame Week 8: more locations and puzzles emerge

After DennisChow's rousing speech in the comments section of last week's update, skates have been strapped on and the WikiGame's progress has sped up. I've discovered that the Text Adventure Adventure now has more places to visit than the smelly old, rickety, broken down, not-very-stable-looking, could-fall-over-if-pushed bus shelter. Check it out.

I had no idea that I could leave it, you see, and to that end (and because I'm sure there are people out there who will give up as quickly as I do), I've asked for Hints to be woven into the plot. Are hints cheating? I look forward to the first walkthru on gamefaqs.

The first chapter's puzzles are mostly mapped out and Bob, the (current) main character, has now met several villagers. None of them seem at all pleased to see him. Not a surprise, of course, as they recently shot another stranger in the not-so-distant past. Before I give away any more of the story, I'd like to make a request for a reason why an unappealing and blood-thirsty crow would feature in the story. The reason is that I've got the hint already lined up for the best way to destroy it, but no crow yet integrated into the puzzle line.
