Zeros gets up to leave and remembers he still hasn't asked anybody about information. He walks up to the innkeeper and askew has new. He is filled in on the whole djorn, Duncan thing and heads out of the inn to find a decent tailor.

Alena lowers her hood and says, "Nice to meet you Hal, my name is Alena. I'm a kings ranger and was wanting to know your business here, pardon my suspicion but with all the war going on, it's best not to have a skandians crew against araluen." She looks at the skirl. He seems younger than what I usually see, then again I am younger than most fullfledged rangers are as well, she thinks.
And then Zeross remembers he ought to go warn the skirl about the hooded person following him. It's the least I can do. He heads off in the direction where he saw them heading and as he approached he saw them talking. He quietly walked up till he was a good distance off to the side of them and busied himself inspecting one of his daggers whilst he eavesdropped on them.

Being a ranger Alena smiles and thinks, the Gallic fellow does think I notice him. Turning to where she saw him in her peripheral vision she calls, "pardon me, but its not polite to eavesdrop. Might as well come out and tell me who you are and what your business is." Normally Im not that straight foward, but in time of war it's best not to have people following you. Especially if you're a ranger, she thinks leaning on her long bow.
Being an assassin of various skills, Zeross had assumed he had been more discreet. But then he thought about it and realized inspecting a weapon in the open wasn't very discreet... But he felt he could still salvage the situation.
"Forgive me madam" he said as he walked up to them, "I'm new here and was just trying to get some information. I was at that moment simply examining one of my tools. I had no intention of eavesdropping whatsoever."

Alena smiles at his trying to cover up, she's done it on more that one occasion herself. "Of course not, excuse my accusation. Now if you don't mind, could you tell me why a Gallic fellow is in araluen in a time of war? Maybe who your loyalties belong to?" Alena sees a few guards in the distance and frowns cursing herself for staying out in the open. Oh great just what I need, she thinks, to have to worry about avoiding guards that want my head.
I look on at the exchange. I see guards coming who are staring at Alena. I smirk."Well pardon me but it seems those guards approaching us are concerned with you. It also might just happen that I am supporting Duncan in the war. Now, would you like to come aboard?"I ask. "As well as would you like to come aboard my gallican friend?"

Alena looked at the skandians, she always admired their fighting and genius sailing. The guards were getting closer, but she wasn't worried about them so much as she was worried about the traitorous ranger in the trees watching and waiting. "If you are supporting Duncan and willing to help a loyal ranger then you are in just as much danger as I am. Sure, why not since it'll only help me," Alena starts up the gangplank, when she reaches the skirl she reaches out her hand. "Sorry about earlier, nice to meet you though."
"Pleasures all mine." I say. I then turn around,"Men man oars! Ulf,Wulf, get to the sail! Edvin man the tiller! Ingvar, ready the Mangler!" I bellow. I then help Alena on board. I then hold out my hand to the Gallican,"You coming? They might not take too kindly too an unknown Gallican assassin in their fief." I also yell. "Lydia, pick a few of em off!" "Shall do!" she replies.She readies her atlatl and picks off one guard.

"I'll get the ranger," Alena mutters seeing the other knock an arrow, she knocks her own and fires a second after the other ranger did. The dark shafted arrow burriss itself in the railing in front of her and she smiles at what the ranger missed in calculations. It's all about the waves, she thinks. The brown shafted arrow of hers speeds away and buries itself in the traitorous rangers heart. There's no cry of pain, but the body falls lifeless to the dirt below. She starts firing at the guards along with the girl she assumes to be Lydia but stops after seeing they only have swords and Lydia seems to be taking care of them.
Ingvar yells, "Mangler ready Hal!" I run over and sit down on it. I tell him the proper adjustments and he makes them. I aim it towards the guardhouse. "Fire!" I yell. The bolt fies away with a snap and hits the guardhouse resulting in a shower of splinters and half the guard house destroyed.

Alena steps back in marvel at the shower of splinters and half a guard house left. She made a mental note to warn king Duncan about that and stepped aside to not get in the way. Her mind flitted to her horse and remembers that she had paid for the innkeeper to watch it for the hour she was planning on staying, she decides to pay the rest when she can. "Thank you skirl, that right there is the reason you must be careful in seacliff. That's the second time in a few days that they've tried to kill me, and more than a few times trying to kill Duncan's followers."
I scoff as I step off the Mangler. "trust me. We are more than a match for Dijorns followers." I look around and ask,"We need to get to Duncan's castle. Is there a port that is directly connected to Duncan's castle? I don't like leaving my shp alone and neither does my crew. Besides Lydia." She glares at me and I smile. "SO anyway, back to the present point. Is there anyway to get close to thecastle through a port without having to leave our ship behind?"

Alena debated about telling the skandians about the port below the castle that erak had used multiple times. "Yes, down south there's a port for you to use at the base if the castle araluen. Your oberjarls used it on multiple occasions. You go until you reach the river opening, I'll ride alongside you. Do you think you could get me ashore any way?"
"Sure thing, Just hold on one sec." I say. I give orders out to the crew and we quickly turn around and swing into the port. We reach the port and I let Alena off the boat. "Alright, Ill wait for you here. " I say.
((Redeyz you can still decide if you want to be on the boat.))
((Wow, things are getting lively, sorry, woke up pretty late... Ima be on the boat too, lets just say I watches all that's going on wordlessly.))
Zeross watched as the girl left the boat and turned to the young man who he had found out was the skirl.
"Excuse me skirl, but I must ask: that ingenious contraption, the giant crossbow, wherever did you find it. I am something of a connoisseur of weaponry and in all my travels never seen the like!"

"I'll be back in less than ten," I call to Hal. Walking to the inn I pay the innkeeper and get my horse, walking out I see gilan standing with his horse blaze. "There you are, I came here looking for you and the innkeeper said your left."
"I did, but I heard of a strange female ranger riding to seacliff and figured it must be you, how're you doing Alena?" Gilan responds happily.
"Fine considering all that has been going on. I was going to head back down to araluen castle with a group of skandians. If you don't mind, could you take Lilith down there when you go down? This is a different type of skirl, not like what erak or Svengal were like." I watch as Gil absentmindedly nods his head.
"Sure, not a problem, how's things going down south?"
"Not good, it was great to see you gil but I have to go, see you down south," I wave as I jog away letting the bridle fall knowing Lilith won't run off. Gilan waves back as I climb back aboard the ship that I read is called the heron. "Ready to go skirl, I have a friend watching my horse," I say leaning on a rail. "By the way, I'm not sure if I'm going crazy or not, but am I seeing doubles with those guys over there?" I say pointing to the two identical boys.
I smile."The Mangler? I created it. Fortunately Ingvar is the only one strong enough to pull it back. Its the only one in existence that I know of." I say proudly. I look at Alena, "No they are twins. Ulf and Wulf. They always bicker." I say. I look at my crew and yell. "Alright, lets get underway. Ulf and Wulf man the sails. Everyone to the Oars! Edvin make our guest comfortable!" I yell as I run to the tiller. I get over there and start to turn it. We set sail and follow Alena.
