I have a basic structure for a post planned out, but I'm going to have to wait for Nightwing. And I don't want to write any more right now since something will probably have to change for every person posting before me ^^
You wouldn't really have to change it much to get it more elven sounding (though there may be different opinions on what that means), if you want something similar but that wouldn't be confused with the old man. Like Merthias or Matthalan or some other combination. I think elf names are fun like that.
Yeah, I probably should have put that in parenthesis or something, as a side note since yes, age can dafinately be mistaken and I tend to write with perspective too. I mainly wanted to clarify the race, which can't be mistaken, as soon as possible to avoid further confusion. And I assumed that in this case, it was just a misunderstanding of who the 'young elf' in my post referred to, so I brought up both points. I did not intend to blame De for not guessing right^^
And to answer your actual question: I wouldn't actually think Erahja would give the impression of being a young girl myself, but that might not have been clear from my CS. Hard for others to know if I haven't written it. For reference I would say that there is absolutely nothing in her appearance (or behaviour or expression and so on) that suggest that she is younger than she is. But as you said, it would probably be hard for a non-Rakasha to pick up on either way.

Captain, sorry put I feel I should point this out. It seems like De is responding to Erahja, and Erahja is a Rakasha (kind of like elder scrolls Kahjit) and they can't really be mistaken for elves. She is also older that De so I'm not sure the 'girl' part is right either. You might have had her confused for her (adoptive) brother, who is the elf^^
Well, here we go. Introductions through corpse carrying. Recipe for Instant Friendship!
Erahja quickly pulled her spear out of a downed foe and spun around, expecting to face her next attacker and realizing there was none. The bandits were lying dead around them and the tavern had gone comparatively quiet. She took a deep breath and relaxed a bit, leaning slightly on her spear. Elrithian came up to her side. He had kept mostly out of sight during the, but she had noticed a few attacks directed at her that surprisingly and fortunately hadn’t hit, and she was sure that was his doing.
The young elf made sure to acknowledge the two strangers, one armored and one hooded man, that had suddenly barged in to help out, locking eyes with both and offering the kind of polite nod that could also be a slight bow. The Rakasha’s attention was on Rhaedin and what appeared to be the village elder. They both seemed grateful that everyone was alive and one of the strangers introduced himself but did not wait to be asked further questions or receive any names in return.
Erahja still felt suspicious a bit to the strangers, but decided to leave it and instead started moving the bodies around, which seemed to her a task fit for hireswords like herself. When she did speak to one of the new arrivals, she managed to do so without mistrust in her voice. They had helped, after all, and they surely didn’t seem hostile. Perhaps she should think of their sudden appearance in more of a gift-horse kind of way.
“So, how come the two of you ended up here, anyway?” She asked the other man that had barged in, the armored one, while she herself threw a dead man over her shoulder the same way as she would have done if it was the carcass of deer being brought back from a hunt.
Elrithian held Zalrinus’ amulet in his hand. Something the S’ithra had said earlier made him uneasy about it and he chose not to wear it now that it was no longer necessary. Instead of walking up to Zalrinus and giving immediately, however, he followed the one they just learned was named Orion, with the mask and bit of an elvish accent, out of the tavern. He would not have guessed the man was of any elven decent before hearing him speak, since he was built much like a human. Either way, Elrithian had seen him react slightly to pain, which could mean it was a small bruise, or a serious injury if the individual was especially stubborn and stoic. Judging there was a non-zero chance that Orion was this type of individual, Elrithian felt it safer to maker sure.
“Are you injured?” He asked directly once he was near enough for Orion to hear him speak in his soft and quiet voice. Orion seemed to be looking thoughtfully at the corpses he had dropped at his feet, though expressions were hard to decipher on someone whose face you could barely see.

Sounds reasonable. I'll start working on my next post now. Also, that's good news about Fed. I just thought we should talk to him once before getting rid of his character. Nice if he is actually coming back^^
Well, I did add that part in my post so that you could have something to work with. Thought I'd let you decide how much the ropes were cut or how close the dagger ended up and such. I just thought you should have the option, you could wait until the fight is over if you prefer that. I'm not entirely sure what I would do with another post describing this fight, myself.

I... I have no idea what Narcia is going to do in my post if I continue now O_O.She's sorta sitting there tied up with no weapon. And there's a ton of chaos with nobody to talk to or fight.We almost might want to skip me for now.
Well, that is kinda why I had Erahja try to help the hostages and drop her dagger right there.
MacabreFox said However, after this scene, I'm going to send Tathein on his way home.
I was meaning to ask, you said before Fed might come back, have you spoken to him since newGuild? Just wanna be updated, I don't really know anything.
