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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIobykXNQd
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe822ai3qq
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFEbHbsb8l
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUnH6XDJE
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOijhefmoBg
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1rZk0s0K
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwCwm2ie9c
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZNT8IkSMS
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBDIQnkcoc
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wZMkI0veQ
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCCrUGNOC
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyU7hYYGG5
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9j6N70mOF
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcwempiQAm
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DxNs4Erw2
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rRz7a0Oyc
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwvnDIeKOu
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFa10uEi4a
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTmFh2NDsl
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNhKU0jnh
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?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyMxuDIbXA
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCAlI98EIN
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qSopyLaN
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaqnxOoWYd
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4TqFWi6Y
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpP3eyNvik
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTV1Yqdr1
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hqhRqwAM
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8JYS87T4
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GhUuzJaws
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRBQ7OGRHm
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTHTddcHLj
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTPVQAeO9r
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZNokc9a2E
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI3fEWlRrq
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxbcp4lIdb
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGnEXtFK83
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSCIPGdQML
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8EX6y87aM
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YO8qeaRG
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRsBmaxtFo
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHg6JkBHXV
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaPtbkK2Et
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZDy8e0Hn
"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?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG5UxvnJub
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj0ff0jAxy
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYnSR6kMPv
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpou1u2Cm
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0gaksvPW9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWXSprPAMj
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbigaYThMbH
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMgDnX0Wzw
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAohbIqYd
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBgT1q11TS
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhj9BkYgop
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWXQm2pUmQ
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSPMmlKRZd
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UpjqbAC0n
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcPuXQyGyw
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3iCJbTtia
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX79SCsctV
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4No2McoBnt
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEtKHiK5G6
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ4Nw3aNHh
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYd6XCMCHo
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUmjUPtKO6
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyj18wW11Y
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2neJH1OaT
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Zla0PmWN
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hsqAvnMW
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpyE0cTGkw
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WAS5NQEWU
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R4YIpiEGI
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwkxR2aMHe
"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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2txGXurLy
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSybpDEbXt
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9qrHwRd4r
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIvtgACbPw
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACwJ9jn751
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKsy7eajT
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxLjl5fm5B
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVRkZQNBkR
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZnC7eP2J
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zU3XkzIPd
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9hPhI8lJL
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2d0G3azo
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasEvaAJBvM
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY3AB5ZbgZ
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCeJKGaetc
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq7oBWYq3B
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8j6EBuh0s
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAU2me7lij
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8KCzoVdea
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7pUnZi9jT
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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71gi5SdKR
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnzCucCvL
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdlQOg71C9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wG1ZSGNzp
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcmfpoti4
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9cGbxIqA
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGwH3HWCgO
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMBuqc5Wbn
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuQar85Fc3
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8C0O1cmGW
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?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNj8nMFFS6
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYdmvn5ltI
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzWAyNFrty
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwV9szGGf1
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHtK6RZpb
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNqktj4xM
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIENUcBU8j9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM2mLNnw1k
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Rxl5iq7r
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8oKLNWQu9
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyqKWZPgW
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0VDoSGnFo
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.
