Where'd you get that, Cherche?

This spear? I purchased it from a traveling smith the other day.

You mean One-Eyed Mort? Ha! I'd steer clear of that trickster. I've seen theater troupes that wouldn't use the gear he sells.

Now that you mention it, it is rather crudely constructed. I suspect I'll need a replacement in the not-too-distant future.
![](3-GaiusDefault.jpg)
Tell you what. Why don't I lend you mine for a spell, and I'll try to fix that one up.
![](2-ChercheDefault.jpg)
You can use a forge?
![](5-GaiusSmug.jpg)
I've been around the block a time or two.
![](6-ChercheSmile.jpg)
Thank you. You really are a most useful man to have around.

Hey, you're the one who has to hold the front line in battle. If your weapon falls apart, who'll save me from being poked full of holes?
![](2-ChercheDefault.jpg)
So your helping is just enlightened self-interest?
![](3-GaiusDefault.jpg)
Nothing more, nothing less.
![](6-ChercheSmile.jpg)
You'd like me to think that, wouldn't you? And yet, I wager that beneath your gruff exterior hides a heart of gold!
![](5-GaiusSmug.jpg)
Look, just give me the spear.
![](2-ChercheDefault.jpg)
I look forward to seeing your handiwork.

And I look forward to showing it to you.
