I could use some ideas -
PCs work for coven of powerful mages. Think Ars Magica. They are tasked with bringing back the heart of a great white stag. Yeah, a hart's heart.
I have lots of complications built in.
- The Lord of the land, who is semi-friendly with the coven and mostly keeps the witch hunters out, has been after this stag for years.
- The stag is on the lord's hunting grounds, near his hunting lodge. The lodge is kept up by the royal huntsman.
- The stag has survived in part because it is protected by a group of Fey.
- A local poacher will also be in the woods.
So, what I need help with is how do I make the hunt for the great white hart interesting? I guess I do not want it devolve into just a bunch of tracking and move silently rolls. Right now I'm a bit stuck.
