Hmm! If there's an elf not busy with loading up the goods, please count the votes.

I'm too lazy busy myself, what a pity.

[Rashilul]

This is somewhat close to the vote count probably if we can only take one not counting those who said either or and probably messing up on some vote switches.

Ima:10
Ale:3
Amala:9
Cero:1

...............................I can say with certainty that if Ale Broadstrokes were a woman, s/he would beat the competition easily.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I vote Amala.

[DarkerDark]

The Elves of Amanereli gather to discuss who they trust to lead the caravan. There are those who love their princess dearly and wish not to part with her, but the dangers of this world are great, and there is still a great part of the eastern lands that lay unexplored by elves. The risks are too great to send the Queen's daughter, and so, Amala, trusted Ranger, Master Bowelf is chosen.



The Queen gives her blessings to which Amala replies, "It is an honor to lead this expedition in your name, Queen Lothena. I will see the caravan safely to the Dwarven lands from which we shall return with all the riches of the great mountains."

Nodding her approval, the Queen adds, "It shall be the first step towards enlightening the stout mountain peoples of the far east. All our hearts go with you and the brave elves in your company, Amala Nightglimmer. May the Dwarves welcome you with open arms!"

The final preparations are made. Cero draws up a list of goods, slipping it to Amala, included is a list of elves under her command as well as a map to the Dwarven Mountain Home of Copper Gates. He seems fairly upset that he wasn't chosen, and he mutters under his breath, "Perhaps if I had a little more girth in my chest, I might have actually received some votes. Bah! Who am I to question the children of Amanereli? Do remember to be courteous and polite when you are finally granted audience with the Dwarves, Ranger, I would hate to see you blow our opportunities because of poor tact."

The List.

20 Bowelves
10 Spearelves
20 unarmored elves of various trade
20 mules

1 caged elephant
4 caged hoary marmots
50 barrels of strawberry wine
30 bundles of rope reed cloth
10 baskets of various berries
10 bins of wooden goods
5 barrels of assorted herbs
10 of the highest quality rope reed blankets
10 spindles of rope reed rope
10 bundles of wood blessed by the druids

The Map.

After reviewing the list, Ms. Nightglimmer looks over the map and determines there are two courses to take:

1. Head south across the great plains and into human lands, making use of their roads. Though the elves have commanded respect from the humans, there are still tensions between the two races, as the humans are jealous of Amanereli's power, but for now, there is peace between Kisenithim and Amanereli.

2. Avoid the humans by crossing the Plains of Torment, elephant country. This route leads to the Whispering Marshes and the Hills of Foreboding, but Amala is confident she can use her Ranger skills to find passage through these lands.

The Queen does not wish to risk so much of Amanereli's royal blood in a single trip, so has requested that Ima, Ale and Cero stay behind. Amala has swapped out the swordselves for bowelves (already listed) to compliment her preferred combat tactics. Will there be any other changes to the list? Any additions that should be made? Also, which course should the caravan take?

Note: I counted up the votes, going by people's first choice and ignoring the change of mind when they switched from Amala to Ima after thinking they could have ALL four candidates. Another note, I'm working long shifts the next two weeks straight, and so updates will either be slower, or contain less art than I'd like to include.

[Bandages]

Route 2 sounds more FUN. I vote for that.

[Diablous]

Route 2.

[abculatter_2]

Route 2

[Faden]

Route number two!

[Nirur Torir]

Route 2. Route 1 is too diplomatically dangerous - Kill a few human bandits, and the local peasantry would probably misinterpret our actions, even if we offered to share the meat.

Do we have enough food, or are we going to live off of the land?

[Karnewarrior]

Route one. We can trade with the humans for some humanly goods, thereby avoiding their ire when we arrive with only booze (good) and cloth (very, very bad).

Oh, and do we have some pot for the elephants? NO. so route 2 = impaled!

[Rashilul]

Route 2, lets kill us some ellies!

[Ultimuh]

Route 2
As posted earlier, it's more fun!

Besides, as we are in peace with the humans, we should not risk that by doig something stupid in their lands.

[Labs]

Two.

[Kelbin]

One because I want to see artwork of humans Umans.

[Dorten]

As for the success I'd vote for route one. But I vote for route TWO. Cause, you know, fun.

And why do we bring so little herbs? What if the elephant smokes all of them in the middle of journey? More herbs. Also, less unarmored elves, more bowelves! Also, less spearelves, more bowelves! Also, less hoary marmots, more bowelves!!!
