The prices to get into Lake-town, Alexander had learned, could be described as "robbery" at best. And like hell he was gonna pay it. So Alexander had made it a point to try and slip in other ways, namely, being smuggled in. That seemed to be going well. He noted the water wasn't too cold right now, but that would change as the darker seasons began to roll in. Still, a bit chilly, but it was important that he knew this just in case the worst happened. For now, he'd just stay stuffed in a barrel, and covered with fish. He was going to smell bad, but that seemed to be a pretty common complaint out in the wilds. Oh well. Sure enough, the worst happened, and when they got to the gate, the guards demanded that the barrels be searched for contraband. The smuggler he hired tried to badger them into leaving the barrels alone, and in that time, Alex had managed to use the distraction to slip out of his and slide silently into the water, diving under and beginning his swim into Lake-town. Hopefully the smuggler wouldn't get into much trouble, if any, over what had happened. But he doubted there'd be anything else found unless he wasn't the only piece of cargo. When he resurfaced, he waited for the area to empty for a minute until he pulled himself out of the water. Needless to say, he was drenched. His cloak and ranger garb was also soaked. But on the bright side he was more clean than he was when he jumped in, so that was a plus! He didn't smell like fish anymore! Still, he should probably get to finding an inn and a place to get warm and dry. But at least he was doing what was suggested by his foster parent, travel the world and see it for himself, and know what lay within his future. tags: Agrolan notes: probably the first bath he's had in a while stats: 20/20 HP | 00/00 SP

"And just where do you think you are going?" a stern voice addressed the soaking wet man. The captain of the guard stood there, with two archers flanking his sides. The two men had readied their bow and arrow, awaiting for their captain to give the signal to fire. They seemed eager to let their arrows loose, having not seen any action for quite some time now. The captain of the guard studied the stranger, a youthful ranger with a face that could win over the hearts of many a maiden. But the captain of the guard knew better than to dismiss any dangers from those who do not appear threatening. He had to be ever vigilant. Such was his duty. He let out a disappointing sigh, however. This was not the first time this week that a stranger had tried to sneak into Lake-town via the waters. The captain had been hoping that intruders would figure out a cleverer way to sneak in, instead of something so unimaginative as to just simply swim into the town. "State your name and your purpose here, ranger," the captain commanded, arms folded before him. He would give the ranger a few words to explain himself. If the reasoning for such an intrusion was warranted, then perhaps the captain would not have to throw the ranger out. Perhaps he would even allow the ranger to leave the way he came in; the waters were not so cold this time of the year that another dip into the lake would be so cruel for the ranger. tags: Alexander Elessarnotes: The start of something fun! stats: 20/20 HP | 00/00 SP

Well this was embarrassing. He'd check for people and made sure no one was there. What kind of mad world was this where you couldn't get in undetected anymore? Still, for a ranger to be caught with his pants down like that. Embarrassing. And those two archers with the man, well they looked none too friendly. They were either inexperienced or bloodthirsty, neither of which, well okay inexperienced was definitely a good thing for him. Throwing back his hood, his middle fingers pressed against the balls of his thumbs as he held them up to his chest, he wasn't going any higher. After sizing the three of them up, and feeling good about his odds if things got... bad. He shrugged. "Hawke." All they were getting. Rasing a hand up to flick a wet lock of hair out of his face, he continued undaunted. "As for my purpose, what do you think a Ranger does? We go around the land and root out evil." It's true, they did do that. Never got thanked for it. Never got paid for it, so really, his inability, well, more like lack of desire to pay the toll was far more understandable wasn't it? This place was robbery incarnate! "Which I would say your Master's prices are. And then you actually get in and wonder where all that money goes. But I'm sure you wouldn't know, right?" He motioned around him. But for a way out of this... ah... Taking off his cloak, he looked at it for a moment. "Right now, I'd say my personal purpose at this moment is finding a dry place to stay for the night." He said, puncuating each word with a whip of his cloak to get the water out of it, having the unfortunately, and probably intended side effect of spraying the three with stray droplets of water. "And no, whatever hamfisted stockade you have for a jail won't suffice. I'm sure it sounded witty in your head, but it's really not."And with that, he started to calmly walk away with his cloak draped under his arm, standing near the edge of the water and keeping an ear out. Well, they did say to get to know the place. tags: Agrolannotes: yeeeeaaaah alex can be kind of a jerk stats: 20/20 HP | 00/00 SP
