From the rulebook:

toil
When you play a card that has the toil keyword, you
may reduce its twilight cost by the number specified.
You do this by exerting one of your characters of the
same culture as that card.
You may exert multiple characters of the same
culture. Each different character you exert reduces
the twilight cost by the number specified. You may
exert a given character only once when playing a toil
card.

If, for example, the shadow player plays 3 minions... then an event that has the toil keyword. does the shadow player exert his 3 minions at the same turn or does the FP player have a chance to exhaust 1 minion, thus preventing the shadow player from exerting all 3 minions?

The Free Peoples player could exert a minion with Shadowplay for example.

hrm... let me expound on the situation a bit more. for example,

Shadow phase: shadow player plays 3 minions with 2 vitality each.
Maneuver or Archery Phase: shadow player plays an event with the keyword TOIL. he exerts the first minion, (can the Free Peoples player use an event or special ability here to exhaust the second minon??), Shadow player exerts third minion.

or is it,

Maneuver or Archery Phase: Shadow player plays an event with TOIL. he exerts minions 1,2 and 3 (counts as 1 action). then the FP can now react..

Second. He exerts as many minions as he can/wants and it is part of one action.
