I say they first smoke some of the herbs. Then the most talentless elves will try to mount an elephant and ride it towards the trap.

The goal is to not kill all of the elves.

I feel that the pit is fine. It can be expanded with a ramp after we have our elephant.

Yes, and when elves will be digging too close, he will gore 2d4 of them with his tusks.

I love that there are no attack rolls or damage rolls or anything - just knock over 2d4 of them and call it a round :P

Eventually though his tusks will be blunted on the multitude of our bodies!

I just thought... What if there are more than one of elephants? Will they let the elves take one of them, or will they guard trapped one?

Oh, sweet carnage  :D :D :D

I'd love to see the reaction of other elves to this sort of conversation, since aren't these user suggestions translated into elves shouting ideas? Evidenced by the quote below.

Yeah, that part was awesome.

I can imagine the caravan arriving at the mountain home with caged elves.

That's a good point, and one of the problems with almost any plan- it might be pure genius or elaborate suicide depending on how many elephants show up.

Ideally, we use an elf as bait, the elf flees towards the cage, then jumps out of the way, trapping the elephant in the cage. He then flees across the pits, trapping any pursuers and ideally netting us at least two elephants, if that many show up.

Less ideally, the elephants are more cunning than we thought and refuse to walk right into a cage, which both loses us an elephant and probably cuts down on our elf's escape time. Catastrophically, running across the pits still doesn't buy our bait enough time and he dies horribly and for no gain.

Getting the elephants out of the pits is a different issue, but unless they call for help we'll at least have time on our side that way. If they DO call for help... well, I suppose that depends on what kinds of herbs we have. Perhaps we could just lasso their tusks and ears and force-feed them?

Aarrrrrgh! We're not thinking Elven way!

Elves can speak with animal-men, and every animal is benign!

We would have the elephant hours ago, if we only just politely tamed him into the cage.
Oh well, but this way it's more hillarious :3

Well, the elephants did get suspicious of us, so it might not be quite that simple.

As the cover of darkness lifts, the elves finish covering their pit and begin to set up a scarecrow using one of their shovels and some rope reed clothing. Suddenly a sickly sounding noise is heard, something that resembles the trumpet of an elephant, only weak and depressed. The elves snap into action, scanning the horizon for the tusked menace.



Fortunately, it's just some elf trying to make elephant noises. A very poor attempt to mimic the great beast. The elves laugh nervously amongst each other before they continue to put the finishing touches on their trap. Then, in the distance, a faint trumpeting reply is heard. Faint, but proud. This is the trumpet of a true elephant, and it comes this way!

The elves immediately run into the woods, hiding themselves as the lumbering beast plods forward, eyeing the scarecrow with curiosity.




Will the mighty elephant press further? Will the scarecrow draw it into the pit the elves had so laboriously toiled with the night before?

I think the elves have herbs for that sort of thing. Rope reed ropes might help to get it in the cage after it is sedated. Sentries need to be posted as well, in case of more elephants.
