Quest Summary:
Old Chief Ragak, an aging orcish warchief of a tribe in the hills many miles to the north of Avalon City, has been feeling his age upon him heavily. Thus, he has gone in search of the best cure for what ails him: alicorn, the horn of a unicorn. The closest unicorn, however, is the Princess of Bright Spring, an important small lake that feeds the forests and farmland north of Avalon City. In the attack on the forest, doing damage to attract the unicorn, the orc chief's pet ogre managed to strike the unicorn with a vile wounding arrow designed to slowly kill unicorns. The party were summoned by a faerie dragon trying to get any help it could, and soon tracked down the unicorn, pulling out the arrow (with a truly epic Heal skill check between Rosalyn and Silarus), but only just as Ragak and his band arrived! While Rosalyn and Silarus took time to save the unicorn's life, the rest of the party mixed it up with the warband, until the unicorn was stabilized and the full party closed in and finished the threat of the warchief for good and all.
