Another question fueled by curiosity - how would an elf typically react to the shortening of his name?

Or referred to as "the elf" for that matter?
Korbin means no offense, of course.

Funny you should ask about the shortening of names of elves.
In my novel there are two female elves in major roles
Lyne'Kylae and Zho'Endra. They hate it when you shorten their name unless you are considered a friend by them, then it is a very common practice. To each other, they are Lyne and Zhoe. (The latter changes when the elf in question is held in very high esteem by the elven population. Though both Kendrian and Tandra'var have been friends for hundreds of years (Elves in my world live 600 to 800 years) they have leared to call each other bytheir full name after slaying Rox'Voroth because of the high regard people have for them. Before Rox'Voroth, Tandra'var was just Var and Kendrian, Kend.)
Btw, Ashy, Your character will know Lyne'Kylae. She is the single and only pupil Kendrian ever took. Your character, of course, tried out in Kendrian's strange ritual of events (sort of like the Elven Priest Olympics) to chose a winner (the first freakin' reality game show) but, in my mind at least, I was thinking that she had been studying under her master for a couple of years and Kendrian, saying that he was a good priest, would not "take" you from him, even though your master had encouraged you to try... after all, this was Kendrian.
Lyne'Kylae (Pronounced Lynn Kai-lay) is a very stuffy girl who is obsessed with her studies. Most of your peers, (hers and yours, for you are of similar ages) find Lyne to be no fun, uptight and something of a rump-kisser, being so eager to please. All are jealous of her... she's the only pupil ever from the greatest priest in elven lore... and most really seemed more capable than her ... after all, she never won a single event in the contest Kendrian put on. (He had chosen her because she had shown herself to be the most determined of the hundreds of hopefuls)

Merely playing Korbin in character, that's all. You might say Korbin is "small town", so he is not as sensitive about these things like he should be. No malice or disrespect intended, he just doesn't know any better.

New combat round posted.
Hope this style of combat works for you guys. Added "coordinates" to the map (had forgotten them on the first one). If there is a specific place you want to go on the map, you can now just say "I want to move to F9" (Or what ever Letter/Number square you wish to move to) If something isn't working or what ever, please let me know now so I can see how I might adjust things for you to make it better.
Sometimes I worry about the maps... that they might be too cluttered. I always try to go for "pretty" to some degree and worry that I sacrifice "functional". Also, if you would rather make a "mini" for your character, feel free and I'll use it to represent your character instead of the white outlined blue circles. Remember, it will be rather small, shoot for the size of one of the squares on the map. You can email them to me at rahjr2k@hotmail.com
heck, you can email me about anything if you like
Oh, and how do you guys want to handle XP?
I'm neither here nor there about it. So what ever you guys like is good by me. Some like to just be told "Hey, level up" some like to hear the occasional "cha-ching" of a slowly growing pile of XP. BTW, you all have 300 XP from previous encounters, from kobolds in Tev'El Rhoe or events detailed out in your history.
