Hullack Forest When the PC visits the satyr Manthis for information on the raids, he will also promise the PC an item that will allow them to ride like a centaur (a pair of gloves that increase their mounted combat abilities by granting the feats Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery and a Ride skill bonus), if the PC will in return find out who is responsible for hunting the Forest Folk. Manthis is able to offer little in the way of leads, except that it might be a lord. Manthis also warns the PC that they do not have inifinite time to complete this request (only until they next meet). Discovering who is behind the hunting Only two people have the information on who might be behind the hunting. Kathryn Hawklin may reveal information voluntarily if she is in the party, stating that Lord Huntcrown has expressed an interest in hunting unicorns. Alternatively, if the PC has started the Theft to Order quest, they can intimidate or persuade Alice Broadhand (in the Six Coffers) to reveal who it is that wants the unicorn horn involved in that quest. This can be done at the start or on returning to Alice. Any of these will unlock the door to Lord Huntcrown's house and allow entry.

Thunderstone: Lord Huntcrown's House On confronting Huntcrown, the PC may choose/experience a number of different options: ? The PC decides to blackmail Huntcrown for money rather than an oath to stop hunting (though they can stil get the oath on top by delivering the unicorn horn from Theft to Order). ? The PC can extract an oath out of Huntcrown, either in exchange for the unicorn horn, or by threat. ? The PC (and Kathryn, who will also try), fail to extract an oath from Huntcrown.

Polter's Fort: Approach Manthis will again confront the PC as they travel to Polter's Fort, asking if the PC has discovered who is behind the hunting. ? The PC has not found out anything. ? The PC is able to share suspicions only. ? The PC gives Manthis the written oath and gains the reward.
