Description

Publisher's blurb:

An evil medusa has had her dark druid minions steal away a unicorn charged with protecting and maintaining a special fey forest. With the unicorn gone, the Material Plane and faerie Wild are bleeding into each other. A deity recruits the champions of the forest to venture to a mysterious island to rescue the unicorn and defeat the evil there.

In this one-shot, players get to adventure as one of five creatures (sprite, pixie, satyr, centaur, or cyclops) recruited to rescue a unicorn from the clutches of an evil medusa. Players will fight through pirates, harpies, corrupt dryads, and dark druids.
