The Unicorn Glade

Unicorns are rare and beautiful with strange and unique abilities. But that means that poachers will try to steal its horn. You must protect the unicorn and it’s home. Because if it dies, so does the magic.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes a tale of beauty, sacrifice, and the choice between greed and preservation. Deep in an ancient forest lies a sacred clearing where cherry blossoms bloom eternal and a crystal spring flows pure. This is the sanctuary of Lunar Star – the last unicorn, guardian of the forest’s magic. But hunters have discovered the glade. They’re coming for the unicorn’s horn, willing to destroy the sacred for profit.

Your party must protect Lunar Star through the night, holding the clearing against skilled poachers. Form a defensive perimeter. Use the terrain wisely. Because if the unicorn falls… the magic dies with her.
