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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCSIfWFGdr
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E71arlC8i
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHJfpEy3GY
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qKpGs1ObS
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZnZPVtXUe
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8DeTlkniz
"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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7geTKPz3x
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzRu92KFap
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7WNA09FFe
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5YvdKERZc
"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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWcnVDb7T
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ORv3PqhL
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNm4gX1Kza
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXI0CzYctt
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3AWrNT9L
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97tEOuEy99
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73dmt4j31v
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XAHNNE9pK
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqEZydPyOn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnCfbllwx
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?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTqIis0s5u
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxcTdPY8ph
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZSRjbYRT3
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuSxlfJ9Ot
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1veQiqS4Ib
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNP6JB9E2d
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErEHWQHRfn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDfVvbM2xa
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7kQZZEC3z
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeSfd9GKQ
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6kaHq2tSv
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVHzhZe7jK
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLVL8JZHPU
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzCyuuZVyE
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsElXyN0gDE
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxdHrkOmgG
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNrVfiWcvh
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanI3Dog7cy
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EmZ6w9t5L
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzATkDhKgcS
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ7xhT0xDC
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydUtFzK6cR
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dzQDduxQ7
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbL98yLwW5
"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?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJdV2yf9Rk
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ194clPgTCK
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEO9vPNu60
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO2nUJd8b2
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JxGCrApOg
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOacPfvpP
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUaagzGkV5
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33KekTBFp
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegezPgW9J
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2ngn36PP
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrgTVOYVI6
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLF1Mr2AVg
"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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGvp9RkOnl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDT3EzPd7h
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLQSMImFpE
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBTsVcriI7
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXHMmzl0kC
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZypbpPBSL
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemo3IrV8S
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre79buiZRQ
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8xCU9XHK
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYdioiU5Lt
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWasbEdp3L
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rueqfrioE
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gALycPTUc
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny6oLjYYfR
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiIScgFblw
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWi5CJPoXV
"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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaBevCZDmr
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XBREQdfMS
"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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZKmMNCGN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IRWNM1KG6
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1C2l1dMFw
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5SbIes7BK
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cIdzB7QWW
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JUEYRRX2m
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgZOOLkQA
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsvlzeATmZ
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ETi2y03de
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AUe1LNC0A
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNysonB2TRN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANeo4Mxd5h
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkJq9VQ7Qa
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcslQyd2B4U
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuXFm7YejF
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yGYvW37XV
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSYhaWB4Cb
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIMmE835e1
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrVWv2Tj12
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nhmS1die
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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY27fnVYGP
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrGytAwBW8
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK53Gerpna
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqgEWnXooD
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMndBQmi6
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBB6bpMJi5
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFwAwrisl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZE2dM2nz
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.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsRPpgXaAF
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUTnbuDM9
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?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM7as921Uh
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPw9cqFIb3
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunRdqcU8Q
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iwNC7p6Qt
"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."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cmvFpdzWX
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyreLJrmWz
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fRo49bvAu
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jjzG0k8u
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUarpx8rWE1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujSjW7BbI
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIml9HQkQM
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSSaUakqST
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.
