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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNG9idYbC
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX3U9iRqbz
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1M9kjQY0
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwyW5hRwA
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ6RvjnDbd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxP1XjagX3
"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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOqfYQB6YZ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4elrClU6w
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwda5kXyPx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vTfmgnt7
"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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBloVdpp5N5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZxgLlJsl
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00CQ6yfNVY
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZvxBVwfuZ
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjU0OStqyd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG5dj8oYT3
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9YgHpLf3
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZp8DjUuVl
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtfmHcmEX
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm2fPoyJ8I
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?"557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyno7amaOg
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZMe1bZkB
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VeF03r30c
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBykMvhKEhF
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzGkT2O3eq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxSl547h0q
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVobwxuxDEY
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0QRndDluS
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZGx085hJN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Bu3wYgEE
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjN50l4UR
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIvEevYQK1
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxF3htDsAk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0xCLxNlI
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugYShvZjvj
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UHq5yMs1a
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMiSr3XIWw
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS9M3939xU
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1W1xdgHlw
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2IWg8CsKo
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXUkEumPav
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9lIE05C0r
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPudm8twGl
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iPUgwJSwO
"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?"557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLluxMGMNK5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsiBGqR1NE
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57dAmuYaU
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYHJIBrMD
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SOTce7wCK
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLv7N01H1J
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMi407BTG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlFJIY9ykT
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7s1BrcOu
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEZxvcaWU
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XPztbz4RG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuytezTmGH
"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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdywFZlymMI
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupZS6PD7l
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2QuHEger8
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKwDiZxQ8D
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldKmN2Vmsq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfn5LYsoU9
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5703h6QFyu
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKlFvQODWc
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhScBHfsJRQ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUO3hq4Fm
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnjhcj2VHV
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOun0zBHC
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9JCUHGp4
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxayIagLLO
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqErej2UK
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NY6GjAHnJ
"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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aHd9pCBzL
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSKAGrcGC
"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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsuyb2qhY
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oeSbjdUdQ
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6bSqe88fk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ja7BTQtdp
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQTjhK4fta
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjApoKWvsu
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Is7HgPZBC
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJImxXiiFv
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3kf389QEn
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQC9gfU39
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlXFPoB1yv
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2cbu6dMMn
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GdHGSxXHl
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Sy2R6iht
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubYdpivgxZ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5p16B1jq9
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZrZQBV2pf
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBydZyTuH85
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXYZfWjyjt
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiFzH9bSn
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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fZ1v86LLW
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFAFgb7nR
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqFZAHjTSB
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrA92cedUt
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagc36sZMJ6
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtPhwiNYfF
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A0Iu1Tvon
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM76l753q2H
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.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOCCo4S2Di
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1h2g3v9kI
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?"557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIDMPAcgun
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2uQQ3ye9i
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY242UcsM0
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlYaIj1moV
"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."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ach1b6ZbP
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv0kb1YLSm
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmJcXUazX
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGOtCjORc
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aBwvr6ocO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv20w2qyYw9
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZoNpRb39
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7UqASxjy5
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.
