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.
Crap.

Route two. Also, bring more booze, dump cloth. You can't deal with sober dwarves.

Wait.... //Insert random Ackbar Poster// We have a caged Elephant. Won't Wild Elephants get angry about the trapping of the stoned one...???

*cough*

Wild elephants spot the caged one!
"We are coming to rescue you, bro!"
Cage elephant smokes weed.
"Peace, brothers! Elves have weeeed! Come join them, there's enough for you!"

So, naturally, we take route 2.

i agree to both

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Bring more Drugs! We already got alcohole, but we shuld also bring more weed, coffee, and pherhaps some hevier stuff!
Also, make some cover so wild elephants wont see we got a captive one!

Caravan goods are fine. Take more bowelves instead of unskilled elves, though, if possible.

Route 2. We have the Ranger leader, so it should be fine. Going through the Humans lands without a diplomat is just dumb, the Humans will try to steal everything on the way through. Now if we could kill them all on the way and make sausages out of them, I'd be all for Route 1. But it sounds like a whole kingdom and we can't kill them all, so I say Route 2.

Yeah, I think arming our elves whilst we travel is a good idea. Too bad we're definitely going route 2, since I wanted to see how humens would look like, and potentially the interracial tensions between the two...

We should also stock up on and spears for the unskilled elves. We'll need the extra firepower and spears in no time.

Human path! We've had our share of elephant viciousness already...

Perhaps some food and water for the travel? Other provisions (Tents, stakes, oil lamps/torches... Not to mention 10 foot poles can always come in handy somewhere... Especially encountering cunning and deceitful dwarven traps)?. Or can we assume we'll have basic travel provisions?

Speaking of oil, maybe some high grade cooking oil? Or olives, or other more exotic foodstuff the dwarves can't get themselves!

Also, arms are overrated. These unarmed elves are tradesmen, remember? Who's going to dig your elephant pit and make the spikes? Fletch your arrows? Make your bows? Build the bridge over the chasm?

That's right, those 20 unarmed tradeselves. I say keep them.

Elephants elephants elephants ALL THE WAY!
We should try to tame a warthog though, so it can carry all our elephants for us.

I'm sure that with all the elves skill with plants, that they could find some toxin or another that can be put on the arrowheads and used to take down the elephants.

But why not let them make some spears for themselves as well, so that they can indeed protect themselves with at the very least some efficiency instead of dying surely? We should also let them practice a bit when they can, so that they're just that tad better than conscripts.

I have no problem with arming the remaining elves, just so long as we remember they're tradeselves and not soldiers.

Oh, and thanks to DarkerDark for letting me make an avatar from his pictures.
