Start of recap...
All the dwarves in their individual barrels listen anxiously; suddenly, dead fish are poured into the barrels. The dwarves splutter in surprise.
Elfling laughs out loud at the Dwarves holding her sides and cackling. "that smells horrible bard" she complains holding her nose.
Bard poles his barge toward the gate of the city; on deck are the 14 barrels all full of fish, with a dwarf or hobbit inside as well.
[Dwarf:] “Oh god.”
Bard kicks the barrel closest to him. Calen snickers and Bard smirks at her.
[Bard:] “Quiet! We’re approaching the toll gate.”
[Gatekeeper:] “Halt! Goods inspection. Papers, please. Oh, it’s you, Bard.”
Bard brings him boat up to the gatekeeper’s office, and the gatekeeper steps out to see him.
End of recap...
Third person pov..
[Bard:] “Morning, Percy.”
[Percy:] “Anything to declare?”
[Bard:] “Nothing, but that I am cold and tired, and ready for home.”
Calen hid behind one of the barrels hoping Percy wouldn't see her.
"Bard question, why do you have an Elfling with you" asked Percy.
Calen sighed in defeat and walked towards Bard who helped her of the Barge.
"he didn't kidnap me, he found me I couldn't remember the way back to the castle ajd Bard helped me" Calen lied.
"oh OK your good then Bard" said Percy.
Calen and Bard nodded their heads. Bard hands the gatekeeper some paper.
[Percy:] “You and me both.”
As the gatekeeper takes the papers and goes into his office to stamp them, Bard looks around warily.
[Gatekeeper:] “Here we are. All in order.”
He holds out Bard’s papers, but a man rat-thing.
Alfrid, suddenly steps out of the shadows and grabs the papers.
'fuck' Calen swore and hid behind Bard who stood protectively in front of the Elfling.
[Alfrid:] “Not so fast.”
The rat reads Bard’s papers, then looks at his load.
[Alfrid:] “Consignment of empty barrels from the Woodland Realm. Only, they’re not empty, are they, Bard?”
Calen growled at the man 'how dare that rat!'
The Rat tosses Bard’s papers to the wind and approaches him, with some of Laketown’s soldiers behind him.
[Alfrid:] “If I recall correctly, you’re licensed as a bargeman, not a fisherman or a Kidnapper.”
