But the dryads will hear nothing from us, that is all I can promise. What Uma may or may not do, is also beyond my guess, you are right."His words trail off, obviously displeased at being forced into such an admission. He drinks from his horn and his smile returns with a silvery chuckle. "The mischief with the unicorns is a simple affair to be honest. But one beyond our reach. The unicorns can be found across the Whispering Stream, amongst the tall grass of a meadow near the edge of Uma's territory. We cannot cross over and fetch the unicorns ourselves, as doing so would be an act of war. Not the taking of the unicorns, rather the crossing into the witch's territory."He points to the veteran still stomping around the edge of the glen. "That is why Pudnis is so on edge. He thinks the truce has been broken ... I'm not so sure. In any case, we cannot cross. But you can." He takes two silk ropes laid at the foot of the smooth rock he leans against and ties them into lassos. "You can use these to bring them here. Unicorns are intelligent creatures. They understand this rude tongue, but you would be wise to speak to them in the tongue of the fey ... elven as you call it. They are impressed and fascinated above all by the arcane arts and spirit magic. I'm sure your bard will find a way to convince them to come with you ... There's not much else to tell"With a glimmer of hope in his eye mixed with spark of excitement at the prospect you might accept Robin sits nursing his horn of mead, too tense to pay any more attention to his drink."I will guide you there, should you so choose."[GM] For your work so far in this entire situation I am going to award you an Auto Success for acquiring the information that unicorns should be spoken to in elven, should you engage in the challenge.  This doesn't count as a success towards the challenge but it gives you all a +2 bonus to charisma based skills used with the unicorns throughout the challenge. 4 successes required before 3 failures [/GM]</blockquote>
