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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsemLUq8h8V
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfljiK2bbm
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgQgk6khaZ
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqL6a9Y1Y
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aFbj6VHs3
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8h12CHDFu
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX53W3vZRqP
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4H8nwZia
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkUsAO0PD
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGGl2nQUq0
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFNAHFiubp
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EVCtrFQGZ
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHRWaNqU4h
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ7N6g1fy6
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrY9l7mNPV
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QKYaot4RQ
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiV40D3OI
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8uyqIctc
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfhOMXC08w
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCyjLeKnhz
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?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01j8FgZKDm
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy8FgOGAvA
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcGpnZ4p2f
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUiUiJqBJ
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hupSchVJV
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0N5fFFjsh
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71D1yuF2JT
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AViE0qYor
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMJbOxKuWS
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yR0a32RXk
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kcigp5Av0
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmZvAHNj0U
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCwy9L7zeL
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3DRPVopTF
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHfUpViUHj
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPIlWB2Elg
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ87Yp4svXY
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78gKY2v59W
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhlj6A2qcV
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J033kkOtg
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSGi5RQgkg
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhA1UrxIQ9
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfSAgcosYe
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXZDhmuzKq
"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?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLHxP3S5a
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c7qatVsCX
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK73NeLTkce
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0DOMaRoN2
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrBvZT0j1E
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzOTy3NRkT
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOijq6s25T
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4YHuzggCE
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRCP2JuHL
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuVaRxGhTH
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8vfzu1PDM
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTzcMsUzV
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM0HMsXhWP
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOaLYuvjM
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnngqqlfgd
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGAid2vOZm
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJpe8esxb9
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZwft3FURU
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X1BKzKV7z
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXQhcilsV
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDVcP1TAa7
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIgaPRDB7O
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMne759Ha
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzm4eD9wGw
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7XFGuv7Z
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FK6pyKXLB
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe8xETpTKh
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgvbnYa6oY
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dwn4pPkS9
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM8dYVXWQM
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1MiWfNY3
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4WxtciFxG
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfr8AyBxXr
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyijdiTxZtJ
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ9NE9c7Dp
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIpLsgovND
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuDgJs1HGf
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JyIvyXKm
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVlqYhYNA6
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51U5cGrwZa
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RNNul599
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNTytrIez
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M0hNJhJh5
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRaekWAiOD
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlPsTrSsXy
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbX8IAcin
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYNfsgY7UH
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY5r8Wl9wV
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1C8JGXC6w
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrj3Apjukc
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6m1IR9ug9
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbrLTy6rmn
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxKP6afX5
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiIg4C1hR3
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31vGfKfsq7
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZsrcomrND
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSGWDTSJC
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9zxDM2p7
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQIeyXxh8J
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tNlSjwVbn
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?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwscLBtKkQK
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZBaZmqwN
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPGLBT1irx
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emnITcQkr
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLVXjlPUfM
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIly4e1t5p
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnZeP8PD4d
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2d21u1Yp
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaEB0TGS9r
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcgKvVkvMQ
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6abA6urPbW
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2azUqI6bUB
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.
