[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5839797, member: 2093"] It does sound like a fairly do-able adventure. However, there are a couple of potential issues... 1) are goblins a viable threat for unicorns? I don't play PF, but in 3.5, unicorns are a healthy cr 3, and gobbos are cr 1/3. Unless the goblins are able to get the drop on the unis repeatedly, I don't see this as terribly realistic. 2) why do the players care about this girl? Maybe you can tie her story into a PC's backstory somehow? Or her father may be owed a debt by a PC? pure money is rarely a good motivator, unless the pcs are quite mercenary. 3) if the PCs are very mercenary, they may think that selling unicorn horns sounds quite lucrative, and prefer to join the goblins (or replace them) instead of rescuing the girl. 4) what is the mechanism of the memory loss/recovery? Even if you don't say WHY she lost and recovered her memories (ie who did it to her), you should know HOW it happened. For example, did someone feed her a potion of memory erasure, but the temple in the town is able to reverse it? Or do the Unicorns do it with their magic once they know the problem (and why didn't they already cure her?) Or did THEY do it? If so, why, and then how/why was she in the forest already? Leaving some threads open for a future adventure would be fine (like why she was given the potion, if that's what you choose), but PCs will be aggravated if they get NO answer. [/QUOTE]
