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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ZqiOKhzP
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rZZ6EBXQt
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT85LbeEpLb
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzuYyJZYRo
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2249AHC2Cy
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S2Ra6cEQb
"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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywPTXiuoXC
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSetbo0A9a
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44OROJXFPe
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8llOCj4tn
"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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvf56Q4k5n
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIu9mMGgRE
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWadFUSqNbH
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Z1yzyOUS
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwx3YetAoe
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGNeU5WLo7
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmw36YWVg
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdvugXHDi5
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW88urRkm3
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2iOJFlrws
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?"525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlW7cM03oM
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcuVEuoz8m
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacaOasvEXA
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhPR76xe0o
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzlftcrFKY
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E2ZHOl55z
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjcfIq8QcV
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghxtrdJaY
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCV436Me5A
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tWUaJzUMe
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2pcvrcje3
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxWDmzBfh
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKNFuqMEgr
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNCDRGzdn4
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9mBXnBhsR
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAq4ekfXYK
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuuqPyqliX
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWs4iTJZBi
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCjKjkigty
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKl3HpiNL3
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCVLqF12fm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eCkU19R6f
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm7J4JjZ5q
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJAhejwef
"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?"525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3aq2rvlUC
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHS8wUn4J
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDimOjylayW
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs5cdfqdEV
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ7fOaK6ND
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R1SCCTHFc
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpay2u6XDh5
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiF4QPd5hB
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4efiAYDCx8
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBhRQ9b4r2
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBwFanuxw
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFwjleuVqA
"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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qQwOrOGnd
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53G2hFr9Sw
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1syLwE7f
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp8h43fljz
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26PAXdRw5I
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQyIEYD8l
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0a2oic4UP
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLVe8lGIru
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkjRZmaoE4
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI5eQZ89Mu
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEtrPKfoXS
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hmgkruSNO
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWqqepgJ9x
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYC54NM46i
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIwKveSns6
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVgPKGRI3M
"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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtqMUUcSmt
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Pzi8Ipgw
"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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeqq3nAeS
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTzVJNevk
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxfn1y7qWi
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGPKSTS0vM
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RuRLb0zo
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdHKspauxe
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtVUp3rHm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMMwnDere
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvHzHz86Bi
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RjvElqw6f
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodkXwDbjyW
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9MEkXhaTA
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEXBM8P6St
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEujlw73ds
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycYLkonP6T
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM7IWmTmcH
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTRLIZfZpG
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lLsNDk8hO
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI9ldNuPta
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRYWm0f4nu
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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3qmxCL5TH
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz8U0uiU56
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G5N2ifJzp
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1jhEmSonK
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwgZW9NipG
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdueWmtai
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RHbA9nm0X
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8sdkSrEjG
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.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTwaFfTd8n
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2f12Itpdo
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?"525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDhwokw8kk
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANRRf4PcJv
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml9C4juSdI
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMES9VY6611
"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."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWSD1VUzhW
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpypS3DiLi
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtoopzPM9H
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzLNP2Vzo
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JN7FWOJdW
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa0EjzmPDm
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEXp4fCWwH
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66R5AqCr7d
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.
