[91 / 1 / 34]
It was a gloomy dark night in the elf tribe of Akunamadh when their highpriestess Megara bore her first child, a little baby girl she called Talya. The elf sages calculated the horoscopes and determined she was to become a great priestess like her mother.
Talya grew receiving the best education available in her tribe, separated from the other elf kids so she could grow to become a priestess.
This looming fate displeased her. She was angry because she couldn't partake in the same pleasures as the other elves and this anger simmered into resentment.
When she became of age, Tayla decided to leave her mother's tribe and go see the world.
Poorly supplied, Tayla wandered the wilderness until she found a human village.
The humans didn't see elves much, and the village's sages nursed her back to health. They wanted to partake in her wisdom, as elves are well known for having many secrets.
She taught them a thing or two she learned from high priest training. The sages then asked what she wanted from them.
She just want to be trained so she can face the world.
The sages told Tayla to join the military.
In this small secluded village, "the military" meant the local guard and a few conscripts, led by the strong hand of Sergeant Miller. Quickly she started training with the spear, the weapon of all recruits.
One day like any other, a horde of gnolls showed up in town.
"It is time to test our mettle. Summon the militia!", orders Miller.
The situation was dire. Even with a few hundred militia men gathered, the humans were still vastly outnumbered.
"It must be some sort of gnoll migration, they don't usually show up in such large numbers."
The situation seemed hopeless, but... you know a little of gnoll language. Maybe a deal could be made?
> Ask the sergeant to let you go negotiate with the gnolls, maybe your broken knowledge of gnoll language will give you an edge over any other negotiator
> Volunteer yourself to fight at the very front, you're feeling bloodthirsty
> Urge everyone to rush the gnolls as a display of might, maybe they will go away
> Let the sergeant lead his people, stay in the back
> Desert these humans and flee in the opposite direction from the one gnolls are coming
