This sounds supiciously like what my players have previously said about
goblins and other humanoids. They breed like rabbits and only take a short
time to be back up to strength and killing. So I would say that the
Gheallie Sidhe is doing just what the humans have said about the goblinoids.
The elves that torture are evil, that I'll agree to but the ones that kill
these menaces to the forest (humans) are doing just what humans do when they
go into a goblin lair and kill all of the goblins.
