They reached the top and he opened the door to a large room which was his, filled with some lovely crystals setting just so, allowing the sunlight to dance through them and cast a colorful light on the surface below them. "Welcome to my humble abode." He smoothly said as they entered.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMn2seCFyv
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDqqXUeMTq
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWwEBiWht
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wQWdvHzB
Faerthurin blinked and looked around confused. "Um...how did I get here?" she looked down at the dress. "And where did I get this dress from?" she asked with her mind feeling foggy in spots.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXiRVkTKN
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1zqaQsXwN
"It was given to you by Klarian. We," Oin motioned to himself, Jalerom and Kross, "think he used a charm spell, something like the Nighttwist. Also he got that dress likely from the vendor who wanted Kross."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIWDmeZLzB
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGBCjQg9wP
Her face fell and twisted with disgust at the thought of what made the thread used for the material. "What is this made of?" she uneasily inquired.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjf3k7n3wn
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HUpSlZ1dT
"Don't worry, it's not saurian or dragon or anything else of the sort." Klarian spoke calmly in a matter-of-fact way while he walked over and flopped on his sofa. "It's made of plants. She sells clothing and accessories made from creatures but she also makes less expensive items from plant fiber."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jn0wdEyTr
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBBICMVoe
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hmc0QkhJb
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiImDkQYZH
"She wouldn't be caught dead selling anything that was low quality, no matter what it's made from." Klarian pointed out as the others came around that had been under his charm spell. He pushed some short orange hair back that had come loose from his ponytail out of his sky blue eyes.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6xfExVa1P
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvomHr1ah
"So why did you help us and lead us here? You have to have a motive." Oin flatly stated in his stern tone while watching the man.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWhZBT2dur
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wbZkIVVPm
"I already told you my motive." He groaned with a roll of his eyes. "I wanted some company for a little while and I said I would take you to meet the leadership by the morning's light, as their abode isn't too far from mine." Klarian said innocently as he looked to Oin. "Don't you trust a kind stranger?" Oin didn't answer this, only folded his arms and stared Klarian down who shivered before diverting his eyes away from the dwarf.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhIHCWevl
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgEtweig3p
Faerthurin looked the place over, taking in what he had before looking Klarian over while mentally going through what she had researched. Kross looked over to the elf sorceress and made his way over, carrying a unique clock in his hands he had picked up. "Something on your mind?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS0up8PUR4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Cttx35LZ
"He's obviously a dragon, possibly part of the race we're looking for as they tend to be more drawn to crystals and stained glass...but I don't recall any information on them being able to use charm spells like what he used." She quietly answered with her sights staying on the relaxing man.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklxa8fj9Pz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqu1J342nw
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAHFwgx8Vq
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT80iFCdceF
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nwX3HtSXx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPzCY5klNS
Klarian inhaled deeply with his head leaned back, eyes closed as he exhaled. "I can hear you two so just ask~" he calmly sang before lifting his head and opening his eyes, motioning for the pair to come over. "I'm not gonna bite because you ask me anything."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WuN6CpYaI
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeZnSqWEq2
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCFqLvGTEz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCHez7iHWk
Klarian rubbed his chin in thought. "Well I'm not really a half-breed as I'm not equally half and half." He began with a slight slyness to his tone. "I could be mostly one thing and a third another."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlSen8p7x5
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2soNLBIPg
Kross thought some. "Hmm it seems he may not be what he seems so we should probably just leave." He shrugged, "I mean, we have been here a while after all and all he wanted was company for a bit." He stretched and sighed with his tone being casual. "All he did was get lucky with that weak spell of his." He turned on his heel, making his way towards the door. "It wasn't nearly as strong as that tree a time back."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVSyxpM3wO
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q1vuBNrUe
Klarian's jaw fell for a moment before he quickly closed it and stood. "I'll have you know that I may be a third incubus but I am dang good with my charm spells!" he huffed, snorting a couple small sparks as his hands clinched snugly into fists. "You can't even cast magic as an archer." He pointed at Kross with his eyes set on the archer. "I bet you haven't even studied magic."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnO5zzA2MY
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEphEJa0zG0
Kross turned giving a small bow while sliding the clock back in its place, smirking. "And that, is how you get an answer on race."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8q9lwozyJ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhZSZUwd81
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGU8dC08pY
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyihvJvo4o8
During this Oin had been inspecting a desk area but didn't find much of interest, Rose had found an interesting book on dragons titled 'The Beginner's Introduction to Dragon Culture' and had flipped through it. She had looked up during the conversation between the trio and noticed the sparks. Jalerom had found and was looking over a picture after having put down scribbled notes involving money. "Hmm..." Ivan came over with Amber who was resisting to claim one of the collected treasures for a souvenir.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJUzKaNLyp
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZaL9xBFrv
"What you looking at?" Ivan looked at the picture of two males, looking like brothers. "Oh they look similar. Where do you think the younger brother is?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOFT5wwuOF
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVBMTGLXvF
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0hdzVjbl
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNOKeFlU6K
The man got up and made his way over upon seeing the rogue with the picture frame. "Heh, that's an interesting question to ask someone but as you can see, no siblings here." He reached out and plucked the photograph out of Jalerom's hands. "Pictures are misleading sometimes."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztv8jw5uIx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Zmi7r061
Ivan, Jalerom and Amber looked to him disbelieving of that statement. "So how come he looks like you? There looks to be a resemblance." Ivan prodded gently. "We all have family so hold old is your brother? You both look happy in that photo."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd0XyFWUMf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneCtuy6z9J
Klarian inhaled and sighed as he looked to the picture and nodded. "Yea, we were until I messed up." He set the frame down on the stand it had been on. "He's currently in the guards care because of me not controlling my betting habit and not being able to fork up the coin I owe." He somberly said.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esFhwWbW5
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRNiCr1GZM
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlcOKbkO5x
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZVVyJA4yA
"I've...sort of been making payments. I own this place and make some sales but when your alcohol prices go up, more of the money earned has to go to keeping it running and the lights on." He looked to Amber. "I can't raise drink prices too much or people will stop coming and then I'll really be in trouble."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I2XXhn1wE
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuZUTUBjhZ
"That's not good. How much do you owe?" Jalerom inquired as he looked to the photo. "Maybe we can help? I mean, we do have a talented bard." Ivan nodded proudly.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LvokEh5dB
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbXWPdWWk6
"But wait, you can use song to so why don't you use that to get money? Like singing and see if any patrons would pay you as they do bards?" Amber questioned with that realization.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGOz4aiOXH
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZn3vBVRk
Klarian snickered and moved back over to the sofa and sat. "Yea right, like me trying to enchant them is going to get me money. If they resist it then they aren't gonna give up the dough. Besides," he sighed, "I'm roughly..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "a few thousand in debt to the battle grounds owner."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZNgcTo6vZ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMpaHHxnwD
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u01A843OP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup12KwCudd
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqoMzc85bT
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6suUb7l0
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCCQFd3aV
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS3gp2qurP
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUa0ouAiCb
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOI1o7ZJh
"Our mission here is to meet with the leadership of the yellow dragons in order to ask for aid in defeating my sister, nothing more. But I also don't feel right about us leaving a family broken like this...even if it is his own fault."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQvkc1cRN
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TsxCiIZxW
"Hey!" Klarian stood quickly. "I didn't put him up as collateral! I put up my home and the guards decided to take him instead." He snapped, baring a bit of fang as small patches of yellow showed on his hands and peeking up from under his scarf on his neck. "I don't know why they took him but I wouldn't put him up to settle any debt that is my own doing." He growled with his eyes locked with Jeminya's as the room's atmosphere began to tense.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg96KtSErH4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6caIWAieB
The dwarfen cleric coughed, breaking into the tension. "We do have a time restraint even if we don't know exactly how much is left." Oin said as he pondered this over.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhvZlCdW7c
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg91Sd7Gsx9
Silence filled the room for a few moments up to a minute before it was broken. "I say we help him. Maybe there's some way we can clear his debt and reunite him with his brother." Kross suggested.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gFMLwjECx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwv2WMenSa
Faerthurin placed a hand on her hip as the other motioned in the air. "How do you plan on us doing that? Ivan's good but it would take days if not longer of him preforming at his best to possibly make a dent in this morons more than a thousand gold debt."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICa0dmZOEt
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIKqHARl2O
Kross shook his head. "No, no he said it was at a battle grounds. Maybe they'll let us show off our skill and if we're good enough, then his brother gets released along with the removal of his debts."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBFtzqGrEm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJsjwt25Sj
Quietness fell once more as this was considered before Jalerom eventually spoke up. "That would make sense due to people making bets on who would win. We're pretty strong and could at least check it out on how the set up is here." He looked around, "um that is if everyone else agrees to us helping him out."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoxcZqNtZJ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7EP9WK9Z3
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V8iX02wvF
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXSRub1x3J
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxnWCV28HT
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1PEIgqHP2
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawEOya1DKQ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBkyWm64q
Rose had been staying quiet and looked down to Shiloh. "Depending on what we are fighting and how far it is required to go will depend on if I'm in or not on this." She flatly explained with some uncertainty.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP8nobrm2B
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqGwIva6gV
Oin sighed nodding. "I will help as well. It will be good for our skills and it will help someone who could be an alley in the future."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtw9THW4Cr
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRDTFUACY
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFr73yvRDu
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDbxQoQXfe
Klarian stared at them all shocked. "I didn't expect this at all. And you all aren't going to want money back in return?" they shook their heads no. "This...man now I feel bad for-" he stopped himself before completing that sentence.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZyAPn9Hu
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyC6Pp67v
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLz47iz0Fi
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1F7XqyONB
Klarian waved a hand through the air to try dismissing it. "Oh nothing, nothing! Just a stray thought!" he gulped as the eyes on him did not look the least bit impressed or swayed. "Uh..." he stood and stretched, giving a yawn. "Man would you look at the time. We should really sleep if we are to wake early and get to the battle grounds to put that plan into motion, night!" quickly he moved to push everyone out of his room so they could go to the four other rooms.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5LhAO7T3
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYR1mroPSk
Once they were out and the door was shut, Jalerom looked back at the door with a straight eye look. "He was planning on selling us out at the battle grounds to the owner wasn't he?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCblkP8NkD6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTt1SrGYxB
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHaNosRt3
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNeCTZ2hnS
"Of course with our luck." Jalerom sighed. "So...how are we splitting up with rooms?" he moved to look inside one of the four. "This one has four beds in it."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RQkfqm9Jg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfZglsUXM
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobqZTeoTAs
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCcxanX0HM
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eFJaqndxd
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mYmrIyhb
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBWgNX0MSH
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvKzhvfqfZ
Discussion took place and the group split up to go to their agreed upon room assignments, hoping for a good rest up before the morning.
