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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs6sL58GEb
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXJXKYaqN
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqYwjOzcHN
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5xU4v7M6
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqmJXTsLsE
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkRRhIpt3
"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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQrtbU7I0t
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkllJxaVKz
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeW9vD2sb8
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QGbWlf5WP
"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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTjpkVWN5J
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Khp0CZ3IF
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8SIrHyTso
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWRCqKaGk
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhY07VfJaG
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGZyXMjee
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmx7OvPKo9
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVaHiIC3dh
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrMH0ulCyy
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZejgdYTWW
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?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLKaAi7Jz
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw8Zly6rb8
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Yiifyes6
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkXbqBg8S
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcea2q06jAU
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFog4o3MEvE
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x9lZWbub4
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDJZ6uKcA
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOHalKBRcc
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5cNfq8Acz
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LvlOVqCcS
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRCjBMmCyv
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu5RtJsEuS
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25r2scACh
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKXbBRE7Tj
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHGbxEVGc
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDjJuQi5h
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbi2mcm8pK
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QuQiV7Xvw
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNpWtPeVj
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7mhxHtOn
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKhpHCsOtl
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZ2I7oIQC
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlebtF0vvby
"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?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMNMRpwn7k
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwPFDPQhq8
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuhlPbTIZP
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4NlSXw6m
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEFktopaVW
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQIjKyuO5
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpclrVjKq
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZMjnAOx6
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQJ4Jx7XkS
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXy39erh7
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKHjHMSDj
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl76pIuBTq
"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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqOXdQsXIz
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJzMrxmzI
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgiHrBJXd
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1BAmupwxd
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalrFCgO7uz
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI8ZAN6gOw
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPoMzXm20N
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T0ICHAwD8
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKTDtO7gwN
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jj9PTmxs7
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5oYhN8ri5
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ynUCTKFDd
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMjMrZgozS
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eka0ZSyxO
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVayVCTwQm
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRBsCFVnPZ
"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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQqxBAHho
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXEIbbrOiY
"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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWY5XOMKvx
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ1beKJBGG
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfMWuhicNv
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1uOFFVJ6S
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoWAlmsioR
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbj5IbxuQJ
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbNcNDS0BE
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKvxl4SQcb
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaR2FXilUk
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN2TaOfeC8
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaENWsp4Xjb
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiB97wJI9g
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOlhhogitq
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5dYUQYne
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckZXuk4iQR
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127hZFaJt2
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I38QEwssy
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTgtE02L8N
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eMmHVfEYN
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgH3kadGN7
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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2Tvj73kB
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZESSNgzd8
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg5uobmnoW
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IGaAXbyic
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1WDsNoSJy
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGjdKfpkXo
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWsSXtai2R
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLiBmCu7QM
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.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkNOhJr5JR
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIp5aLGjB
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?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq17iQTbDw
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2gl4KMlm
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh1ZDnAYZy
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69HlYNVlqj
"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."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QOrZW5mxS
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijj5jxw8o
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZsL8NOHb
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n18LuvlQz
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE3iZAMo3l
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKz9x7eufl
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEcx3nJP2
477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBZQBbPnS
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.
