I was casually looking though the stats for a unicorn and saw that "Curses affecting any good-aligned creature are suppressed." So it got me thinking whether or not it would even be possible for it to cure the death curse seeing it is a curse. I understand it is up to the DM, but i was curious of what other people thought.
Keep in mind that the death curse is merely a common terminology for a phenomenon afflicting the realms. If it were an actual Curse, simple low level magic would cure it. However in the adventure it specifies that no spell has been found effective against it.
Yeah, it's not so much a "curse" as it is a planar effect that draws life-force into a device that feeds an aborted deity. It just so happens to be affecting those who have been brought back from the dead faster, likely due to their souls having a less stringent tether to their bodies from having left and come back.

Assuming all the trigger conditions are met: Curse and Good alignment, yes.
A unicorn can suppress the Death Curse. It cannot cure the Death Curse.

I misread that, agreed, it cannot cure the disease.
Thanks for the reply, yeah I looked over that a bit too. Although, I think it could still work to help keep it away for a bit.
