I will begin, withholding my post, on the grounds of a challenge that I am not attempting to bluff the elves in question owing to the fact I am not lying. I am intentionally neglecting to withhold the information that if they do choose to fight, that we are ready for them; something they can reasonably expect. Building from this, unless Jaegar explicitly goes against what seems to be the rest of the group's intent to withhold openly engaging, there shouldn't be too much issue. If you would rather they just fight us for the sake of an encounter, that is another matter altogether and I will just withdraw my claim.  On another note, one positive is that the elves should only have a surprise round - their initiative (even on a 20, as initiative cannot fumble or critical) is behind that of the tiger's.

Just do let me know if it would not have made the slightest of differences, as otherwise there is no point in needlessly complicating it with editing the story.
