Talk, Kaspar!
Kaspar is too paranoid to fall for Eddie's feint. He scores an 18 on his sense motive check in opposition. As for Castille's upcoming initiative check, he gets a very respectable 24.
Moving his rapier only in defense, Kaspar keeps his feet swift.
"Edward. It don't have to be this way. It's not all your fault. I understand." Pointing back to Castile, "He'll understand. Why kill us? It don't make sense. We ain't goin' to expose no one if you don't want us to. Let's make it work."
Pausing to deflect another of Eddie's blows, Kaspar's voice takes on a tone of desperation.
"Edward! A deal. We can make a deal. If they're blackmailing you, then let's get one up on the whole counsel. Castille and I don't live here. We have nothing to lose. Let's make 'em pay. Please, Edward. I don't want to fight you.
"You said it yourself. There're suicide goin' on right now. Let's just take it one step further. We could be on your side."
Diplomacy is not Kaspar's strong suit. He rolls a 3, for a total of 1. All that roleplaing and nothing to show for it. Such is life.
Kaspar continues to back himself up -- at once to deflect Eddie's sword and in an attempt to expose the villain to a ranged attack from the ground below.
Kaspar thinks to himself, "If I can't talk my way out of this one, then I can at least give Castille the shot he's been waiting for."
Castille, meanwhile, does in fact move across the tunnel closer to the encounter between Kaspar and Eddie. He motions for Merrick and Praime to seek some sort of cover out of the way. "Whatever they can manage," he thinks, "will be better than where they sit now."
Castille then holds, hoping to gain some sort of audible clue as to Kaspar's situation above.
I realize that Castille is next up in the initiative round, but I wanted to wait for the remainder of Eddie's round one actions before declaring any further action.
As for all of you readers who have been wondering what happened this past week. Why haven't there been any updates from me? ... To that I say, "law school finals." Ok, and laziness. But now, as finals continue, I'll actually be updating.
