the reason they are following them...

you can't guess?

[shome]

Smoke some herbs and chillax, man.
The elephants are all the way over there, nothings gonna happen.

[Siquo]

We might have their elephant king... Making him a high high-elephant.

If we can talk to the elephants, ask our high elephant why we might be followed by his kin. We've been followed for days, so they're not likely to "wait until we sleep". Alternatively, find a sucker diplomat to talk to the elephants following us.

Also, laughed out loud again at the stupid elf 

[Dorten]

Perhaps send an Elf to play diplomat with the elephants, the elf can talk to the creatures and find out the reason they are following them...

You forgot, that elves of Amanereli can't speak with animals...

With the elephant now stuck in the pit, the hunting party cautiously moves forward to tame the beast. Usually that involves a few soft whispers in the animal tongue, but the Elves of Amanereli have never been known to stick with tradition. After all, they're the leading civilization of the known world, they can do whatever the hell they want. And right now, they want to see an elephant stoned out of it's mind.

No... They can, we were all to busy thinking like Dwarves...

[Karnewarrior]

This is a problem...

CHICKEN DEFENSE!
put chickens... oh crap, we forgot the chickens!

[Flaede]

So we're being followed. So what?
Maybe it's elephants hell-bent on killing us, maybe it's an escort, sent by the forest spirits?

If the latter, we would do best not to question it. If the former, we're doomed already, so why worry about it? If we make it to the dwarves, or run across any other natural enemy of the noble elephant, really, then having a bunch of elephants following behind us would be a good thing.

[Samthere]

Why are we not dancing and singing and throwing flowers around the caravan throughout the journey?

[Flaede]

This. Definitely also this.
But why flowers? Why not SEEDS? spread the Forest as we go, bringing the forest spirits into new territory.

[Acanthus117]

Oh god, I couldn't stop giggling after the bit about the biting elven children.

+100000 respect to Darkerdark

Also, we should be cautious. Show no agression to the elephants, but if needed, start fires using whatever makes bigger smoke clouds. It will scare off elephants in the opposite direction if done right. While some elves light the fire, have the rest of the group move around them.

Also, I veto the whole throwing flowers bullshit.

[Flaede]

FIRE? What is with this fire and smoke and blood and whatnot. We're elves! stealthy, speedy, in-tune-with-tha-wildlife elves. You have something against forest spirits, Acanthus?

[Mikko]

Okay. Here's the thing. Smoke herbs. Throw flowers and/or seeds all around and dance. It's going to be a long journey so better make it a fun one.

Let's question the caged elephant about the elephants following us.

[Acanthus117]

I like the last part of Mikko's post better.

[Julien Brightside]

First thought:
How many elephants are there?

Second thought:
Do the elves carry something which the elephants find tasty?

Third thought:
When setting up camp, put a few of the bowelves on guard, make a few "fake" elves out of straw and cloth and dig a pitfall or two. Then put other elves hiding beneath rope reed cloth and rope reed blankets nearby.

Fourth thought:
Or alternatively, make a "fake" elf out of straw and cloth, put him behind and see what the elephants do when they discover the lone elf.

[Mikko]

Souls.
