So...
Option A: show the predicament of the elvish savior to the only people who might be able to help resolve the situation, and defeat the humans.
OR
Option B: fuck around with some kinda dumbass Rube Goldberg plan that won't work, will destroy most of the elvish kingdom, and give the shitbrained "friendship ending" to might accidentally defeat the bad guy after he has already succeeded in all of his objectives, making the entire exercise completely pointless.
Definitely going to take Option B, since the story would be good if they didn't...
