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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCDc1GMR66
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3kWYvn4Hc
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs65uGJsfjV
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMio4LgbVdb
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VWFG0Shtm
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Anha8KOE
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NQKKWxJS0
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jm3Pd6sAz
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmYPQedIiP
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2Rn92HEh
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMbizX0x67
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIXsnEzhI
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAJgDGQGx
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3MDoinJvy
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1cjlWztN
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdigBHQDaeK
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYToe8Zxjp
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xTj72ahVj
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9yGx5I4Q
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVE6CUUhM6
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?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSVJ81uHLA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlm86fT81k
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB6QkpuMwA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUR8Q57dv
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPawOpbt4j
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRUjrURUXF
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OAWo4VI9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwE81UKFJ
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmN8YrdyLD
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc9uNUgtof
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTffOb8ZX4
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLADXbJOOC9
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScVd0KqIm9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm0UeXcA9F
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J7diN53zA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qsePq9tcs
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaMFmWr8Es
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHsFhqVMB
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyY2u7EQY8
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxFGaWjLn2
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnbTd9THtW
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepLhfOLVg
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJwTrW70E5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz1ZCslRYh
"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?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp0lztcZWa
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr7wX48OQT
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyonCbTZsX
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZnQPHq0q1
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUghjbGxgXK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXJKtqEK4f
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCpj92e9o
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGWq9Y104m
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEK8wceM2a
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXb4eVCgHK
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQaZhThsAk
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKZcitiVG
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYQrADypZV
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCtmHiPrq
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2DfzaXmaA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdAdzljwWv
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP14EA9e8g
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrw5m22Yvw
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce6O3RSzmY
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqeLaE5Tnb
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4z76vC8FE
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W6gzwtFJ4
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oxe253FlE
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuyDOUmBwS
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKS5zbYBZ3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx923kOlAPz
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOe9oMoVY9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0QmyW7vfB
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HAwbqYvVy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lEiMqbUID
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00wcFklUTX
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMoyzTa2TO
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTBjuds2a
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFmlU4YwDG
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zkx4PddU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBy7d1Jfb
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJlZ6d5EBP
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS9MwZu6Q1
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3jPUn2vgk
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CK8D30Jm4
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqgmVTnjxZ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbYQejftv
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfpYS8rnPA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR60zn4xB4H
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HPkPFUZ4
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYC6r3MNkh
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3usWiQFSzA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BLP9AdeC0
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWg0WWUxw
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE5iVBSyuH
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAYI1oYAoH
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnNt5p3Oso
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvbd9LVLK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuTLJInNMV
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtikcNKpf7A
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnRlTXk6dp
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAoH39PEr
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvRZIWRyh2
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjX7uFTl5p
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk97uAe4WP
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?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFcRtfhfpR
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVUvieWMi
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXbx0nGbI
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ658rQa3yRO
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OekUzWip
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZ0sal0wS
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIT5lJIHI5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ToY6RgD5U
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmJouf9YWy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzXGcLhKws
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0lpfCSvaq
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRFiFeSRRQ
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.
