[QUOTE="Dlsharrock, post: 4194528, member: 55833"] I think your opening post described her life in Thranduil's realm well. She probably lives on a rota basis, living with her clan for days at a time, maybe even weeks, then heading out into the safer parts of Mirkwood to check on the activity of the Men of the camp. If she has something to discuss with Baran she'll head into the camp, maybe pitch a shelter (away from the main camp, I'd imagine). Or maybe she just heads into the camp in order to wallow in the funny looks she gets and to make some mischief. Remember that Elves are immortal. They see time in a completely different way to Men or Dwarves, so checking on things once every few weeks would probably feel like a natural patrol rota to her. Elves also have a natural intuition about their surroundings (as per my post on Magic in Middle-Earth) and she may have sensed the 'naughty' being committed which prompted her to come patrolling in the first place. I'm not sure how to include this aspect of Elvishness into the game, now that I raise the subject. It was something I wanted to discuss with you, but plumb forgot. Some kind of always-switched-on Affinity With Environment class ability perhaps? I'm thinking of Legolas 'sensing' the presence of evil forces moving in Middle-Earth, and knowing when Sauron is using the Palantir (Legolas is a good parallel for Aranel as they both come from the same clan- indeed, Aranel probably knows Legolas, who is Thranduil's son).
