I sneer, amazed at the man's ignorance. Triggering the minor enchantment that exist in every elven garment from my world, I make the sigil appear on the appropriate spot. I tell him, "This clock was given to me to wear by the High Lord himself. Until you can make something of equal value, I'll keep this".
I don't mention I can make better armor than anything I see there. That is a service I have sworn to use only in service to those I trust completely. Which, after they shut the portal, involves no humans.

He looks at you angerly. Then points you down the hall. Down the hall you run into spaceman you hear something like he sets things on fire. Your clueless about the content. The guard turns to you and says I'm glad we have an elf in are ranks, I'll go get korak he'll be in charge of you for now. He walks off.
Another solder soon walks out of a room massive in size. You didn't know humans could get this large your a little intimidated by his pure size then he speaks. Hhhii I'm korak. A a a your supposed to follow me. Just please listen I don't want anything to go wrong. (He sounds like a broken man, how could someone this strong be so weak) follow me we have to go prep the boat.
I also walk, smiling internally. So far, nobody has asked me if I intend to join this army. I let the sigil disappear from my clock. Getting the portal reopened might take a while, and fighting alongside humans might be the key for that, but my loyalty lies with the elven court. And even if they made me take an oath... As every elven child is taught before he turns 50, a vow taken not from your own heart is no more binding than the wind.
Korak leads goodgil to a pile of of boxes and bags then grabs some and says they need to go into the cargo hold. While saying that to goodgil he almost runs into spaceman. Sorry sorry didn't mean to. Then steps back to let spaceman through.
I sigh. The days when the elves were viewed in awe in this world are apparently gone. I quitely ask one of the nearby guards, "What position does this Korak hold?"
This went too far. Those humans will learn my proper place here. I ask the guard, which torch among those that line up the walls is the furthest he can see. After he points to one about 150 meters behind, I shoot an arrow through it. it breaks and falls, shattered, on the floor. "Have a real battle commander come to me, if you want me here", I say, and start walking away.
As I walk down the hall, I pass the guard who was standing near the torch I shot. I repeat my challenge, and this time, pointing at the fireball on his sigil, add: "I hope that I didn't burn you... With so many threats out there, a burn is the last thing you want".
I assume, with humans blaming the elves for the fire elemental (one of the reasons they closed the portal), this will trigger a bigger response.
I let Korak carry the boxes. I gesture to Goodgil and point to a guard a ways away who has fallen asleep at his post. Next to him is a barrel with an apple and a wedge of cheese on it.
@whiskers there's a group of people heading into the city from the dock. You stay close as to blend in with the group. In seems like a villiage in the decline, only older men and women live here. No children or young adults. Most of the men you perceive as the fisherman are way past there prime. Maintenance to the buildings has been neglected.
I go to the town hall and pretend that I’m a traveler who wants to live here
When you get to town hall there is a middle aged man doing paperwork. When you ask him about moving here he immediately lights up with excitement. He mentions there are many houses available and he would be eager to show them to you. For employment I would talk to the fishermen we are in need of some deckhands.
I stay in the forest, setting positions in several treetops. All allow my view of the town and village, from different angles. I wait for something important to happen.

I ask the man how much the houses cost, I want to be the man on the inside.
They finish loading the boat and set sail to find the fire beast. The show spaceman to the sleeping quarters. No one is sleeping, most are polishing the armor. No one seems nervous at all.
From the wood line you see normal village movements nothing stands out. The overhead door at the base opens up and the ship you almost got on pulls out.

Nice. Not sure where I am at this point.

Can you...y'know...

I thought you might shoot the apple and scare the guard for fun.

I agree to be a guard for the village, along with fluffy
