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

Souls.

[Demonic Spoon]

Wait what, elves have souls now?

[Caesar]

No, they carry souls. Those of the people they ate.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

An elephant's tusks grow every time it kills, as the tusk is actually made of the delicious, nutrient-rich soul. Soaking them in blood is purely cosmetic.

WHOA, there's good art here!
you ever post anything on the fan art forums, darkerdark?

Whoa, this is all in MS Paint? Incredible! How did you get it non-pixelly?

I would also like to know how you got it to look non-pixelly. Pizelation is a huge problem when I use MS paint.

Yeah, I don't use MS paint. I use Open Canvas. I suppose that means I'm cheating? 

It actually is possible to remove (or at least, severely reduce) pixelation in MS Paint. It is however, a LOT of manual work - sometimes I do it with my pixel art, but I would never attempt it on anything large. Programs like GIMP or Photoshop(or Open Canvas, I guess) have built-in tools that blend the pixels automatically, so it's best to use those.

And for the love of all that is holy, never save an image as a .JPEG. It does reduce the filesize, but it also makes the picture look like crap. With really large pictures, the size/compression might be worth it,  but .PNG is a much better extension.

watching this amazing thread. Also I like the idea of setting up fake elf decoys. also, should we not be moving at night? I don't recall elephants having good eyesight, probably much worse at night and at this distance we could escape their line of sight easily. however that is all moot if elephants are smart enough to follow our tracks. too bad there isnt a huge section of rock to cross or a stream to wade through

[Karnewarrior]

Stop the caravan! We must tell these elephants we mean them no harm!

(Have any of you played Overlord? Now those are elves!)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The dead ghost ones or the ones that were held captive by the dwarves? I killed or rekilled them all of course. I felt rather proud when I had caused the extinction of the entire elven species.

1) This art is epic

2) Leave behind a distraction for the elephants, yes. Fake cloth and straw, no. That will not stall the elephants very long. Leave behind a few elves, who are to wait until the elephants draw near, and then flee back to the forest, drawing them away from the main caravan.

[maxicaxi]

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

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

thiiiiiiis

These can be the Elves who have been found totally unworthy, basically the big complainers so far.

The one who suggested the children plan, for instance.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

that one's a stack of elf tallow biscuits by now

[Karnewarrior]

Or he soon will be. One or the other.

I say we ignore the elephants for now. Let them make the first move, or at least start making the first move. So long as we're in reasonably elephant-friendly conditions, they probably won't mind following us as far as it takes, which means we'll either see their dastardly plot or an opportunity will arise to do something about them.
