Mis-Matched Heros

Checks

Castille rolls a 15+2=17 on his Spot check against Fast Eddie. He rolls a straight 17+0=17 on his Knowledge Arcana check (woot). He also scores an 18+2=20 (!) on his Listen check. Finally, he rolls a 15+1=16 on his sense motive check (oh well). Still, I just found my new favorite die. Let's see how it fares for Kaspar.

Kaspar scores a lousy 6+2=8 on his DC 18 sense motive check; and a 10+2=12 on his DC 13 sense motive check. The sense motive check against Edward is a very nice 19+2=21. Finally, the spot check comes up 13+2=15.

Castille

Walking tall through the crowd, Castille steals a few glances at the passerby, but in all trains his gaze on Fast Eddie. As he approaches the group, Castille then eyes Eddie with noticeable disgust.

"Hello gentlemen. I'm here to explore these sewers and root out whatever evil is within them."

And then, looking at Kaspar, "Will any of you be joining me? Or is there some other arrangement in the works?"

Castille expects the worst from Kaspar at this point. The half-orc has been known to make deals with even the shadiest characters if his mood suits him. Castille may have a knack for causing trouble, but still doesn't approve of Kaspar's sometimes flippant attitude towards people.

Kaspar

Keeping up the facade, Kaspar allows Castille to enter the group as a stranger. Despite Castille's sarcasm, his words are lost amidst Eddie's speech about slander and lost honor. Kaspar even allows himself a smirk in Castille's direction -- a silent acknowledgment of their friendship -- but Castille is too taken with hero fever to find it amusing.

As the group continues to argue about the Warforged, Kaspar feigns disinterest. However, when the mention of money arises, he lets his face perk up.

"400 plus supplies? Now that's a deal I can live with."

Turning to Castille, "And if you want to play the gentlemanly hero, then I suppose I can keep it all to myself, eh?"

"Honor is all that I require," Kaspar proclaims in his best mock-Castille voice.
