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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj22KLhgSdY
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P0z6gSIsB
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn2qT1L7y6
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmALqotdtu
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4hF4CjDIv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGyXJVvaZB
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkgPS3g1Zw
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJCFL7A8t1
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe7sGiw62P
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSlWkv0mT
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITQsKYoQxs
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7U3FaxqWc
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DABAio8Wt
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCSD1OPjDR
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiThaQom96
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ecTUoa2PX
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKUQImgYS7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGzhnNOsKR
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTPtuCspom
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8sHjD4lDN
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?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlzLGyq8h
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllGBomvAci
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3h07rix0o
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0jNOXfrD2
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPukHrm8Hz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRDI7AMxeu
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxgrEsKuTp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDVERdhUJm
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIGxsMm0jf
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ib6fC3gDo
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4XwhBK1Hu
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8nQQkkL1I
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgtOEE4VI
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssNpb5D5F
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYLoQmARZ1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji55RHYJHC
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0RgHhi3Xf
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaXAHgkbF9
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRszBBaMBsj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmPUsfC1qk
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcATHtrKi5N
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo3pmbXD9E
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAuJDOdoLQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt7o9GFfKy
"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?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkUdjQ6gtJ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lM5zKscAW
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWT9fxN0Pu
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznE1Hx8p5x
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEzvnufOMM
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxa38lG4Mf
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj1xLI65gc
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZX8x6uLkO
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGbbbzUUx0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBHtBO3kW
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjIabLu6cN
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxw1Rus6g5
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lnYeepZ8A
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiPMopchb
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3te7fWXU86
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLCWvTa3V
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkb0Tn5Wp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b4O7WAfHw
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUoswdFsxn
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuWsFrlkD
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtr9iG6gDd
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpG62NEbtL
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL1M1QOMjr
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge9f18HPwo
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QG9HHmEez
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhx2mUfEoJ
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnY2wuwurr
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvurKj85w4
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6FZGVqUhc
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UYdx4iFic
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t2eS1rBiE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFMfPDEStd
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E6fwZW4z5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlDLBFKu0b
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPoGOURB7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO0s1YUrYn
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwCp0WzsIt
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P73sVUw7U
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaI17UMdfC
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccfkJNfXW
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJIhD52KLx
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVLlBVkzp
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY26EwmqBeR
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufFGqVU76
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexdJgOyCzN
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVgXPBtgaA
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyxqrXfFqX
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSKW1SzIyi
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNEWonX9ub
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFWJMNfrDX
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcuotJYy73
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEEg4hF3IF
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5ulBAQdu
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAEgYrOHzX
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxCnrET9lG
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjHs7EiFD
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjN9kWsWaV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6nFN2ClvW
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwpoZbEj8n
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7tKHjPN44
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?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOpjXoNZm
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHuYrL33Nh
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1R8ASxO9l
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9GsUmLFU
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskW94yj4qv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpkVYz6gGx
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO73DlBsddK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uZtpQ1Cyk
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlg6QnWJn
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGLrYoKTm
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAXRTKuBH1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGxiU08I9
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.
