"Presence of a Stranger"

PSX October Tree; Unknown prowling tiger; hand drawn rune stone, all other

Note: *Unicorns are creatures of magic, thus they do not cast a shadow nor do
shadows cast on them.
The Story: Two strangers approach the sleeping unicorns from the fen, a robed
woman and a powerful tiger. Are they friend or foe? The sky is ominous, the
weather turning to storm. Is this a bad omen? Are the unicorns in danger?
The runes provide some little clue as to their fate. The first four runes are
symbols of power, salvation, protection, and friendship. The meaning: There is
power and salvation in the protection of friendship. Will this be enough to save
the unicorns? It is unknown. The only known is the second message on the rune
stone. Could it be their salvation, possibly a spell of protection? Alas, it is
but a simple message, and the only certainty shown here. The message is simply
this: "Kilroy was here."
