A Name to Explain
Elves are different in Pathfinder. I don't know how we missed it last week but our elven companion is over six-feet tall, which I would say is uncharacteristically taller than the humans but apparently it isn't. Elves are tall now.
It's possible that we didn't notice the elf looming over us because they are modelled in part on the night elves in World of Warcraft, adding to their height with extended ears, much like tall buildings fake it with aerials and transmitter towers.
The height being augmented by the elf's lugholes is a reasonable assumption and, with the player of the elf carelessly absent this week, he gets renamed. And so we come to have in our party the ranger Afutavere, ranger and fiend of animals.
