[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9436467, member: 27385"] What did the PCs bring to trade? Seems some merchant would want to send some goods to the elves if/once they find out a group is going there. Even if not, the PCs have armor and weapons from the other land that may be worthy of trade for elven items. PCs might have spells and such to trade as well, or something that is suspicious if they fear bad intensions. Some knowledge checks against the elf spies to see if the PCs are telling the truth about human incursions and numbers and such. Also could be a great place to insert party NPC to go with them. The PCs could use a Sacajawea to their Lewis and Clark and the elves could use a spy in their party. a 100,000 elves that make decisions by consensus means that they may be many groups they will encounter. Each group of several to 100 may come to a different consensus about what to do with the PCs and a 'guide' may smooth things over. There could also be a threat that the PCs are heading to that the elves also want gone and may help them with elven bread and cloaks of elvenkind or they may not with the threat disturbed for fear of awakening the sleeping Smaug. Some of all this may also depend on how much your players want to interact or how mature they are. [/QUOTE]
