Just started a new playthrough and completed blood ties quest. I left arefu and found crow and harith crouched over in a state of panic with no followers or brahim, they both proceeded to leg it and 20 seconds later 4 bloatfly went in their general direction. I returned with loot to megaton and waited on the traders... crow has no backup and 0 caps whereas harith is fine.

Does crow carry any schematics btw i couldnt remember if he does or not.

I returned to arefu and headed to kaylan b&b cleared out the raiders at the house and there were two giant scorps inside... killed them and sniped the others below at the bridge. I scoped out the area and there were two full outcast squads, one at either end of the bridge, when i ran down 3 red blips appeared and they were deathclaws who wiped out the squads. I barely managed to survive and after that i checked the area and found a dead scavenger.

I was wondering if this event was linked to the deathclaw hunter random event? I have checked this whole area and havent found any corpses or crows crew and i find myself stumped as to what the hell is going on... every time i return there are either raiders and a deathclaw or loads of giant radscorps and a deathclaw
