Since Elfsense is a major sense, I'd favor something like #1, where you induce the bark to grow a certain way, and peel it off. Elves don't need to write things in a hurry.
Maybe elves grow special trees, cut a slice out of them, and read the rings like a barcode. Maybe they grow a special plant, and any elf who eats the fruit gets the message. Maybe they make something like a jelly roll, only the different spices used in each layer convey a message (again, you eat it - -- the higher your skill, the thinner the slice you need to discern the message).
>Also, does anyone have any useful advice about playing elves?
I recently told someone that I thought they were too alien to play. They're plants, after all.
