He points out several things that they wouldn't know of, that the lizardfolk would have learned something from this, and would be faster and less obvious about gathering in larger numbers the next time a dragon showed up in the ruins, that the dragons would keep coming, unless they were willing to move out of the swamp, which would remove the need for the lizardfolk to follow the dragon. That Maura was planning on purifying the Witchwoods, which would take her nearly two centuries on her own, but with their help, the forest could be purified inside of fifty years if they were fighting the lizarfolk at the same time, but if they withdrew, leaving the swamp which would slowly become a death trap for the elves and instead moved to live in the forests near Drellin's Ferry, the Witchwood would be cleansed within twenty years, and after moving in, they would not have to worry about an elven child getting poisoned or maimed by some creature of the swamps, as the forests would be far more forgiving of mistakes.<br/><br/>He also pointed out that moving into the forests would be closer to what they were meant to be, that the forest had several elven holy sites, far older than the ones that were being consumed by the swamp. The dryads and nymphs would make natural allies for their people, easily able to help with keeping their cities safe, and the giant owls would be more comfortable and easier to care for in the forests, where it was not as humid and insect infested, both of which were a constant drain on the owls currently.<br/><br/>Finally done, he knew that while most heartily agreed with his idea, a few of the more conservative elves would dig in their heels later, and without a favorable and sincere welcome from Lord Jarmaath and Lady Tredora, they might even become an active hindrance when he wasn't around. That finished, he brought up the elven couple he had rescued, saying that they had been rescued from slavers, and that they needed a home, since Still Wind was pregnant. The last was added almost as an afterthought, but he figured it was best to add that after pointing out that both of them were skilled adventurers that could help keep the town safe and train up the troops to something far more competent and skilled than they currently were. He didn't mention that they were from another plane, figuring that they would want to reveal or not later as they wished. The leaders were leaning on accepting them, the conservatives as a way to 'help' him without agreeing to move, until he mentioned how skilled they were. That fact made most of the leaders interested, and when he mentioned that Still Wind was pregnant, the druid leader immediately declared that the couple would be accepted if she had to do something drastic.<br/><br/>That done, he thanked the gathered leaders for their time, and humbly withdrew if they were finished with him to further discuss what he had asked. He rested outside the room for a moment, his head aching as he tried to get used to having several different minds connected to his own, before heading off to enjoy the modest feast that they had prepared for him. He spent the day with the elves, answering questions, and being friendly, getting to know the community, as he was something of a hero here, at very least.
