As he gets his bearings and realizes what's happened, the unicorn looks at Picollo and says, "Thanks bruh. to be honest, that whole 'being a wooden toy for a centuries-old hag to ride on' thing was sorta mid. I might miss the flying, though." He pauses for a moment before adding, "Oh, I'm Elidon, by the way."
The tiny girl hugs the unicorn, then plays a few notes on her piccolo. She points to the three pictures, then the eledrin woman and then to herself and shrugs
"Will wonders never cease?" Trisk can't help but stare at the unicorn, the real unicorn that was a toy unicorn mere moments before.

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
The unicorn, clearly grateful for the reacue says, "Yo, I gotta bounce back to the Wayward Pool ASAP. Lamorna's been stressing, thinking I've been gone too long. Gotta keep my girl happy, ya know? Thanks, fam!"

<you guys want to ask him anything? Seems like you were looking for a unicorn horn for some specific reason.>
It's an image of a man (Kelek) sitting on a throne in the central tower. It conveys confusion as to his intentions, if he is good or evil. The music plays back his voice, asking for a unicorn horn to help get rid of the sleeping dragon....but again the music implies uncertainty if this is a good course of action) She is basically asking the unicorn if he has an opinion on Kelek and getting rid of the dragon?)
Elidon shakes his head and blows air through his lips disapprovingly, "Yo, check out that old dude with the scraggly beard. Definitely giving off major Ohio vibes, like the kind that scream trouble's just around the corner. What dragon is he talking about? Do you mean the Jabberwock? I've seen him around, and I can't quite figure him out. He's got this fire in his eyes, you know, like there's something intense going on beneath the surface. Definitely keeping an eye on that one."
Confused and anxious, Elidon replies, head shaking side to side "Everyone? Frozen? My horn? I just got it back! Now you want it to do what?"
I don't need a recap of the whole story, (as Jack Black once put it: "What is this, recaps and dragins?" I just a charisma check and he'll come with you."
Sam looks at the unicorn “look we need to have the horn for this otherwise countless people our going to die, I know it’s shit but we all can’t put run our destiny it always arrives”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Do you know how the magic in your horn works? If we were to escort you to the castle could you somehow help those trapped in time?"
Trisk wants to help the people trapped in the castle but doesn't want any harm to come to the recently freed unicorn.

"Hmm," Elidon considers what you've asked and replies, "Yo, fam, I know Lamorna's probably stressing about me, but I can't just bounce on y'all after you rescued me. The law of reciprocity is a big deal, and I gotta honor that. Plus, Zybilna made my home such a chill place to live, so I'm all about giving back. I'm here to help you in any way I can. Let's get this done together!"
(ooc: could be an opportunity to try out the sidekick rules in Tasha's?)
"Let's hurry back, maybe we can free everyone trapped before the Dragon wakes up!"
Looking around Trisk asks, "Which way do we go to get back to the castle?"

Piccolo points her tiny instrument (in the right direction) and smiles at Elidon. Her smile is quite contagious, she is indeed a person filled with both abundant joy and mischievousness.

< I looked closely at this. Sidekick's are limited to CR ½ or less, while unicorns are CR 5, but ignoring that, what kind of Sidekick would he be? By all metrics the lore and stats would put him as a healing spellcaster. What does he gain as a Sidekick?
Proficiency with armor (so if you made some, I guess) but this might be a reason for the CR cap. Still, I might be OK with that.
ASIs: same possible issue as with AC; starting WIS is already 17 but is limited to 20, so it's probably fine.
Spellcasting: picks up 2 Cantrips and a level 1 spell to start are pretty close to what it already had, less that 5th level one. With Tasha's Sidekick rules you might swap the ones he had for offensive canteips which then benefit from potent cantrip ability. Likewise, leveled healing spells and damage spells are effected by Empowered Spells. Also, it would start at level 14, so no 5th level slots yet, but 1 level 4, 3x 3rd, 3x 2nd, 4x 1sr and 8 Cantrips. That's a lot more spells, but
It has spells with DC so we can figure out it's proficiency, but lets directly compare with sidekick rules. +5 proficiency and presumed +5 Spellcasting modifier is a +10, so DC20. That seems high. I might neef this to be on part with PCs, but maybe not, depending on what spells he gets.
Given the CR 5, I think it would lose all of its spell like abilities that contribute to its high CR, like a nerfed 7th level spell and 3/day healing touch: 11 healing and removes all disease and neutralizes all poisons.
Do you want to use the sidekick rules for Elidon? I dint care who runs him, one player, all the players, GM. Anything would be fine.
Also, are you done with this place, then? Spoiler: she had a bedroom. If youre not investigating the other work rooms, you can auto-save the children there, Elkhorn will do that, I'm just asking out of due diligence. >
Piccolo is very curious and thorough. She will look over the bedroom to see what she finds within. Like a busy squirrel, she moves at almost double the speed (between movement and her cunning action), exploring and looking for things she finds interesting and curious. (Perception: 15)

She smiles and nods at the unicorn, then waves goodbye.
<weren't you guys desperately looking for a unicorn horn to unfreeze people back at the palace of heart's desire?>
Sam speaks up “unicorn we have a issue, we need a horn to un freeze everyone at the palace of hearts desire”
Piccolo looks at Sam, then shakes her head up and down.
Confused and anxious, Elidon replies, head shaking side to side "Everyone? Frozen? My horn? I just got it back! Now you want it to do what?"
