4 - Carousel
Diana Cloppington the centaur
A procession of wooden unicorns stands motionless on a circular wooden platform. Fairgoers clamber onto the unicorns’ backs, and a female centaur sets the ride in motion. The unicorns shake their manes and creak to life, cantering around the carousel to the delight of their riders.
Diana greets patrons with good humor, but there’s a sadness behind her eyes. She’s quick to correct anyone who calls her a centaur, saying that she’s “*a human who made a bad deal.*”
After convincing her they will help, Diana tells them that they must “speak to the unicorns,” but to earn their trust they must learn the names of all eight unicorns. Diana gives one of the characters a clay pot of gold paint and some paintbrushes. She says she can close the carousel for a short time while it undergoes some “*essential repairs.*”
The unicorns share the following information with the PCs
– Zybilna of Prismeer is frozen in time.
– Bavlorna Blightstraw has Badal’s spring from his step and Jimlad’s cursive style
– Skabatha Nightshade has Yo’s depth perception and Sparks quick wit
– Endelyn Moongrave has Kiro’s sense of comedic timing and Mishka’s rosy cheeks
– “The hag you seek sleeps in a dollhouse and can’t remember the first creature she sees when she wakes up” (for Skabatha)
