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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXunXKOU5I5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2S47RfFS
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy7DC7rMN0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSZRoxG3T
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0im4hD0XK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsDCQYg1wN
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWUCeKGIw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwjPUXvos8
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JMhUk5psT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQOeLFGeiQ
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbWFrwbinj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgeRT3BbDF
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELg868dhOT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoovHf1VNp
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5jtESHbL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoZi1g1hnP
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQnSqMh6p
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ9q46WCHH
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytoFYO2xmo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEoRsMWB0g
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?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFzp9Oltw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZvAOr8WMK
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITdkrBH36u
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lzbH0b0em
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vr2GEwHqx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2QTuiV93T
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fkGaEn5d
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYODDnwhO
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3M6urWGAz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZYMSqT6MU
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE2oeSIGoo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKmbxuLKDH
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTy73BLxgs
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQgiq64Xd8
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTABzwWJhW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM2Vrqkre6
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk1tyfhWP9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxK3XGTE5r
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvM5GPDdZa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXkcAr8QB
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNmJJmsmL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi3WCQWzxp
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QIGQtafBD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFyUOzIbBy
"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?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbllOcJlFs
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjuCxTDeBQ
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofpCwITZLp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvqVq7QPOT
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJFfPER78
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeB8j7eiA2
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5l2R2WXIT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNmtwPBbt
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4I4FTk4rl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0UR7U0TV
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOiVmHSsYP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh4KYlhW8G
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXH2xtewzB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRBwaLUsH0
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJW5bCR2uC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cfcRo4SsM
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEiXQFP6Za
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyibusYKOK
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEmpydbsGo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbcqkBPOOh
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyUVynMj2v
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnxABtrZLx
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuFTbXCZsA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjI6wBtU6H
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbEWWE4R9z
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx54o84L6cC
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygoNmKFvnv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBbzPFcZFp
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYTOsCnQr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zrxKJtSs
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nOniLtel
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMYYvxc8l8
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakoJeU1Utz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7qd6KYq9
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtwvpzofin
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGuAmFB6tD
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7QirVFC6K
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDg8eSTU0
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLL8NkaWzK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfjeEryOxk
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJ4DNsb22
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDQZXOlNFn
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6QO1TdFTz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKejJUG3NfM
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPI0H1LHhn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOefKjXGQJp
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H9ZnkzqdI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1YaPzDSy2
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsK3o7lWSO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLi6FXmnZW
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnEwNv3Wjy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k6MJpf8Wq
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1xGRa3YgY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iq2AxfxRz
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZy3oK7UDM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQloKQBm9SR
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHrVSLBoOP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZvXBB5Mqt
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSO09mEFCx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyzCXkHGB
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?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyaB0cM9ZF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo2KxubsLt
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmxzo95EWe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVIy2RtDTF
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRpuh6rUao
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjf9QT9hn8
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKFQb7sz8n
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ0i5spvNT
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUboDI5W55t
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcwL3CToZ5
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ChHkd2mg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0OvKh9338
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.
