Why just elves?

Because elves are the ones with an affinity for magic, and I think some of the ThreeToe stories even mention them having the power to use magic to bend wood and make trees grow together and such. You could make an argument for gypsy humans or people like that making a magic fountain, but it makes less sense to me.

Most of the time, plates move a few inches per YEAR. This would mean that, over a 1,050-year worldgen, plates moved under 40 feet. Even at that absurd rate, that one feature would move by maybe half a region tile by the end of worldgen.

Which is why having the terrain move as a result of plate tectonics would be a waste of Toady's time, in my opinion. But it would be cool to have tectonic boundaries at least defined, so you know where there's likely to be more earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Well, look at that, they delivered a new consort right to our door! How convenient. If we capture the mage, what gift should we use? Maybe Withering Touch? Seriously, you can't have enough wizards.

Short-term, Corruptor's idea is a good one, if it works. As for the mage, put her in a time-loop like we did with Phyros--saves her for conversion if we so choose, and takes her out of the fight quickly using one of our best skills.

Agreed but still only capture her if convenient.  Our primary objective needs to remain survival especially with our unborn child nearby.  Eon manipulation sounds great so long as it does not give away our position any earlier than necessary.

Side note: why do we still have beach sand in our pocket?  Also if the spear can turn items into sand maybe later we could turn sand into items.  Or people into sand?

Lol, GWG, good suggestion. Just one little problem - Mage is male

I am against any attempts to catch the warrior. If we lucky get her alive =  nice. If not - too many consorts isn't in our best interests anyway.  Our goal is to win the battle

You've collected various foods and plants:

Whispervine- A light brown-grey root that grows on cliffsides. You know nothing about it.
Blue Fern- A large fern with a strange blue coloration. It gave off a sweet scent, and you saw some of the rabbits munch it.
Spear-stalk- A large, green plant that grows straight and tall. You've heard of it being consumable, but otherwise, you don't know anything about it.
