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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7XUhQm3PS
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6EQSoplwB
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsl4PbMN1R
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdMjBNXiS8
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycjJyUvxVh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dy6orzlw5
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCndsVGK43
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsPYc4Cv0i
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi1ShO4wqu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcYwytGXhY
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2cO2NHxIr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUHNLGPZGB
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa6wknFoJN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCfLMgiFgd
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQn5wa6bOa
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwCKyLbCA
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpynwKQ8rk
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbKlzmi1BL
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie3Se49afs
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNMHs83MOv
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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbcBs37Tgt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU6qYWzX4B
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGSTFlMNX7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjPFXRUvpM
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAJ4VBOjoX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9x2xykxA
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07oQ06rznI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeFiWK2iSo
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCV3nUqZ4l
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4spTsqGOi
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubQm04CKP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf2SWrS8BO
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYvaMankxp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdyVNQmttB
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFakKFTkbWM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysfsy7mlpC
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0S1ClQDry
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhkXhWHRO
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DwnVxfxjf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XJf0QZ5o5
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJhE8X6ejd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoRxxv02zR
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4qS93nf8F
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3IO6QVx0N
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9NVgkfsWR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVBfLSUTzF
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8NARNHjg3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshzY6eAjkk
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K3m24AUSl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSPqQH6ueV
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ETEBaEMPd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG13azXFr22
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIZu0jtOgI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQ3Sz7gXt
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2U9wGoOFG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSf32zgfF
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4lDQdaYWx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpL6nwO5ZG
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaJhuSSCGx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhHHYBhqy0
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTHoWU67EB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHCTSzh7HF
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49dFuSho1K
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2EXLRHjZw
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sGUAbSHH1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56F5iUDI0O
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBrPdIGta1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUcJIcT1VI
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGdCZPFLmY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GJQsLB56
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIPSgnQeX0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwoiDdHChU
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5o8ZtETiF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lhdEbtxVl
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKprLR7d7z1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkaGldGt1S
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNju9ok2Y6H
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabfOV5BfBW
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGnGqhT9gD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ykH5VmE2
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrDUbDxPLf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCyOV9BA7E
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFnhbTpfKQ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBO9Mr7Xtb
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGmwQpVHoW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bgjw9XRww
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZqioKTpK3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQWF0zDzb
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHBELLRpWM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0B9h4bg4n
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMvQg9OEIe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJVxqX1B2D
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9JR9tS46g
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkczrp1fwpS
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwS142NPZZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzddhQxWml
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZZQkrJhWy
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLE6KYXM2T
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRoveduvq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICVYTRI76g
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2wF2QQnF9
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf7Uk3bzIC
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOPV65Umak
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtI3HYVnV0
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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CzddIjwtP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYiLS4Nnx
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDZggJkbY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4YAlosVTd
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1krbA60mp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3skYH646
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF76pv4ek5n
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWigf9opI7
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq19hZS5st
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGigtQ8pMeB
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qeelb2I4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5aR3wvPv
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.
