Let's Bring it All Together Now
Kaspar
Kaspar, being none too keen to simply jump down a sewer-hole full of who knows what, turns to the constable.
"Not too fond of Mr Eddie here are ya sir? If I done know any better I'd say you wish it was he that went down that filthy hole and ne'er come back."
After judging the constable's reaction, Kaspar turns to the group with a cocked eye and declares somewhat slyly, "What's down there anyways?
"Somehow I don't think my rapier would match any hidden or mysterious bugaboos any more than a halfling could take on a stone giant. I ought to help -- that much my gut tells me -- but I don't plan to die. So somebody better explain this sewer system to me. A map and supplies are in order I say.
"Eddie, will you be accompanying me and myself or would you throw me in there by my lonesome? After all, you seem quite the spearsman with that walking cane of yours."
And finally, "Oh, yes. What about this reward now?"
Castille
Castille's emotions begin to well up within him. He looks around the room of women, thinking that some are most likely widows by now. Thoughts of corrupt councilmen and cowardly entrepreneurs turned criminals stir up a violent anger -- so much in fact that Castille's eyes literally flare as the magic within him surfaces uncontrollably. A blink and it's gone. A blink and Castille is facing his onlookers.
With a quick gesture of his hand, Castille informs the woman that he'll do his best to save their husbands.
"I can't tell you that I'll be able to rid the city of all those the likes of this Edward, but if I can delve the city sewers and come back alive, then perhaps I can expose its evil.
"I will find your husbands."
Of course Castille can only assume that Kaspar is ready and willing to help. Never did a thought enter his mind that Kaspar was currently striking a deal with the very man that Castille has now come to associate with all that is wrong in the city. Oh no, Castille would bypass Fast Eddie altogether if he could help it, take the sewers clandestine by night if he had to. But it was not to be. After his meeting with the townspeople, Castille happens upon Kaspar as he and Eddie are having what looks to Castille as a rather pleasant conversation.
"No good can come of this," he mutters to himself and proceeds.
