an elf lookin for the militia commander

A Woodelf and two Moonelves, garbed in well worn leather and their faces painted with camouflage dye, enter the town from Shadowdale Forest.

The Woodelf approaches one of the guards peacefully.

"Greetings, i am looking for the commander of the Shadowdale militia. Please tell your honored commander that Nykerym Aredhel wishes to talk to him"

When the messenger reaches Taeron on the training field, he leaves one of his men in charge of the military drills and dons his armor. He instructs the man in charge to keep the men alert and ready - in case something goes wrong.

Taeron then washes his face and checks his gear. It's an official business, after all. And he's supposed to represent Shadowdale.

He takes one of his more trusted militiamen with him and heads towards where the elves are.

When he arrives at the scene, he greets the elves with a polite nod.

"Greetings. I am Taeron, commander of the forces of Shadowdale. I heard you're looking for me."

The barbarian can be seen talking to several elves on the side. A member of the shadowdale militia is present at all times during the discussion. Taeron's facial expression reveals little - as always, but they seem to be coming to an agreement of sorts.

after their talk the Woodelf leaves the town again in the direction of Shadowdale Woods.
The two moonelves follow the commander to the campsite at the twisted tower where they set up a tent.

Taeron informs his men that the elves will be staying within Shadowdale to help with recruit training. The training is to be focused on tracking, scouting and moving unseen.

Taeron then asks for volunteers to undergo this training - to form a scout and recon division of the New Shadowdale. He gives emphasis on the quality of the training and the importance of such unit in safeguarding the town.
He also makes it absolutely clear that the training is to be done by a small group and applying for it is not mandatory.
