Well, that battle was both a positive and a negative. On one hand, I got enough qi that I broke into the Conquerer stage, and I am now receiving a lot of qi from the elves and humans within my dungeon. The negative, of course, being the number of people that died in the fighting.

I look at the elven city, and see that the majority of the remaining elves are gathered around a makeshift stage where their king is delivering a speech.

***************

"It is time for retribution! The humans march against us, and for what? For fighting back against them! That's why they march against us! And when their attack looks like it will fail what do they do!? They try to kill us all, attempting to wipe our very city off the face of Earth! And so today I call on all who are willing to march with me upon the humans and their city outside the forest!" As the king finishes his speech, the crowd cheers and follow the king out into the forest.

When the elves arrive at the adventurer's camp, they use small formations to force the ground and the trees to attack the adventurers. Several of the adventurers try to fight back with fire, and earth manipulation of there own. In the end, however, too many of the adventurers were caught by surprise. They fell before the elve's onslaught within minutes of fighting, the remaining forces were routed. They ran as fast as they could down the path they had made on their way into the forest. The elves chased the adventurers, but were unable to catch them all.

The elve's stop at the edge of the forest, upon seeing the fortress built by the adventurers, having decided to create some siege preparations before they attack them.

The adventurers quickly contact the kings of the surrounding nations, asking them for aid and warning them of the threat posed by the elves.
