Elf Detection 101

From a recent article in Slate:

How do you find an elf? - By Juliet Lapidos - Slate Magazine

An article on Iceland's de facto bankruptcy in the April issue of Vanity Fair notes that a "large number of Icelanders" believe in elves or "hidden people." This widespread folklore occasionally disrupts business in the sparsely populated North Atlantic country. Before the aluminum company Alcoa could erect a smelting factory, "it had to defer to a government expert to scour the enclosed plant site and certify that no elves were on or under it." How do you find an elf?

I am sure there are adventure hooks aplenty in this article.

How do you find an elf?

You get within 5 squares and try to figure out if you got a Perception bonus.

Try the North Pole. If nothing else, they tend to have a pretty good intelligence service.

I think they are kind of like Canadians. Just start littering in their territory and they'll show up and tell you to stop in a very stern but polite manner.

(Of course they may just put an arrow in you from their hiding place instead! Elves that is, not Canadians.)

Yeah, you better not litter up here! We might give you a stern talking to

Seriously though, watch out for the polar bears. They hate getting those pop cans stuck on their claws ...
