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.
