Name: Atoli Thris<br/>Location: Macedon<br/>Tagging: All<br/><br/><hr/>Atoli had been waiting patiently for a report from her scouts. She had a small regiment under her command from the Macedon Army, she was only a acting guest officer however and she didn't really have the loyalty of the soldiers under her, only giving the basest of military courtesy to her. Apparently the name of the Academy didn't mean much to the basic soldier. But Atoli bit her lip, her intention was to prove herself as a suitable tactician and commander. As far as she knew she was hunting for bandits and otherwise making sure that all armed militants were out of the forests after the villages on the outskirts repeatedly came under attack. She couldn't help but feel that she wasn't being told the full story however she didn't have the luxury of knowing the details.<br/><br/>Just as she was cursing at her rotten the leader of the scouts had entered the command tent, giving a lazy salute. "Commander, we have found six groups and several armed individuals within the confines of the forest, what are your orders?" Atoli scowled looking at the rough locations on the map of the forest. "The forest is dense for us to attack out in force, we need to spread out our forces, I want our forces broken up into teams of five, two archers or Wind mages, Thunder and Fire is not an option within the forest. As well as three melee combatants, approach them but unless they appear to be dangerous, do not harm them, we are only here for bandits not traders and travellers. I will move towards the clearing also, if we can, try to heard all people within the forests towards the clearing so we may find out what their intentions are. If they resist, incapacitate them, kill them if necessary but avoid it if possible... You have your orders"<br/><br/>A short while later Atoli and a small group of bodyguards were trailing through the forests, she did not want to commit all her forces like this, but the forest would not allow for an alternative, given the amount of time since the soldiers entered the forest, they should be coming into contact with the denizens of the forest. Biting her lip she prepared for her first real combat.
