A sudden twist in the battle

The golden-armored elves from Aurumvale, not to be outdone, acted swiftly and decisively. One of them reached into their space ring, and with an air of nonchalance, they transferred a staggering one million gold coins as if it were a trivial amount and tossed the ring to Gaya. 

"Take this and help us first," one of the elves said, his voice laced with both urgency and entitlement.

Gaya caught the ring deftly, glancing into the shimmering silver space ring. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of the substantial amount, and a sly grin formed on her lips. 

"Of course," she replied with a smile, her tone smooth and agreeable.

Turning to face the rest of the adventurers, Gaya's smile faded into a more stern expression. She scoffed at them, her gaze challenging. 

"Back off and step forward if you have gold coins for us," she declared, her voice ringing with authority. 

"Or stand back in line and hope he doesn't get tired."
