"A gathering and a prayer might do some good to quell fear, at any rate.  This evening, at sundown." As the Sheriff and Mayor step to the side to allow everyone into the room, a third individual comes into view.  Seated in a cushioned wooden chair on the far flank of what looks to be Sheriff Hemlock's desk is a female elf, clad in a style of light armor and a bow not unlike that sported by Elyra.  The elf stands at the group's entrance and moves with graceful fluidity and a sense of purpose toward the gathering at the doorway.  Sheriff Hemlock gestures to the elf, saying, "Shalelu Andosana, an...unofficial...member of Sandpoint's town guard."  Mayor Deverin is quick to add an introduction, saying, "Sandpoint's newest crop of heroes," with a smile.  "And, begging your pardon, but with the exception of young Tac here, I'm at a loss for your names.  Perhaps you could each take a turn saying who you are?"</blockquote>
