The Ruins of the Wood Elves Part 2

The city, buried beneath all the forest debris, holds about two dozen houses, a large temple, a large manor, a small school and what was once a large stables for unicorns.  To unearth any building will take a week each, at the least, and that is not complete uncovering them, unless they have moving magic.  The buildings, made of stone, are unnervingly well preserved.  So much so that there is still food on the table as if they citizens are getting ready for a meal.  The strangest bit is the people, perfectly intact, in a frozen state in those buildings.

For the GM, the village was put under a curse by a powerful wizard.  He wanted the unicorns the village bred for his own nefarious purposes and the village would not relent.  Thus he sacrificed several of his apprentices, and inadvertently himself, to put the whole village in a sort of stasis.  There is a way to return the village to the living, which requires great magic and the search for great items of power.
