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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPROyggHJ3
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS9qggtygb
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2DipJ5ODT
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwswuig5vt
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXga9VUjozZ
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhL0NkHC3h
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjuRLyZFYt
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlQKgn1wQ
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVEPfaFNo
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXptPshVg0
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gIvdSqQYJ
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqYOVlDRwG
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9IEiQrzFa
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKrMyJbEFw
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPsKtl8hZJ
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhFHZUIVW
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI0zsA0ntN
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPMBy45R9X
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcRtjwG67k
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1or2D12Bfv
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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsY8RwYtga
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfcq6FXUuI
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDiNpqib0V
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoOchftFi6
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgFUVbiuuL
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBXutEobML
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZJvHn5chV
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGffbfInO74
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJVxmkBJEn
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovr2k5k8fI
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9iWxeZsl
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeY8EFw16z
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAOvKgCXS
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxsSyC1XgU
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8NvPCKt9
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR7QqjUXBG
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb4Tb5EDJY
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXtDWEc8rE
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVg8nXhxE6
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzOhdwHkew
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPYcVpkyl
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswYNnUzVB1
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz8xaOAYSV
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19MtfpLuqx
"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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjAQXYEyHm
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokNxxWuBA
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopYMMsDX1C
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdosD1qZLH
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEtRjUqg6Q
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8Lo6hKml
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡducAbviW4L
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEk4N6Hlny
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiliWuFROfz
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ertOFLMi
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQGJSZdhK
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRKD3986X
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKbnWepmfD
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XbcMKPcvG
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro34UOvzDe
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7a7k67Da
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrweXDEGB
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxMfazecIT
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTvoqyyfkR
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oLKjeTu1k
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQrKDGAH7H
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXMQ443v8
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVld5Qka2
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB71Cb4bUwR
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RrCazKEiy
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6xnwzGiy9
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwkJMMQuYl
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK6InALzfJ
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusyNHvheEL
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CdhVSyHGD
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Y8CXFzFd
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraYNLNykzS
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6ZKKOcwK
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBKD6fNbf
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcfCCb3cBU
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu00GbuSqa
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡactMtCQHfM
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1herUf1SoT
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzcQaOqCY2
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFZfWyIt0j
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ubbwz0LE
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJjMe4fzoc
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqP3ML0C5K
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDkbEOrCHa
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKHvAo7hB
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJtoQtH1oP
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEsrSAIS6B
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2uda9vJkE
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbe8OMSCsC
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJxc8vMl00
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFmDB02tuz
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVCi3ZQrJW
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JWwjmHi5r
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMze7EjQKA
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6vuYwLKmv
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMXPrDsZ7U
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqz4K3yO6d
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa33Lqz29tq
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ6MdDtmnX
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnZhxeXHGn
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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxX5SqsYwd
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4Vsme6BT
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9GXLVZVSj
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyouK23hQWT
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfigdSOjqh6
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWPSEYeQ9
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD9RDsD10g
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjG1ZyjVJp
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4alziLLcAd
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmkUOtnuTj
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS60PXSxK4
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNcrGn3ENK
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.
