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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvvy3mXe5I
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3s8583RQy
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CiIBscG1O
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUpYDq9gYT
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6T5YS4D09
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9qMLo2bdA
"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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7gFyB38yb
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcBOVAd2LU
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne9YARStZJ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp8gHBfAM5
"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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDFbRA999
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOns0jftCB
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngEc8qCI2Q
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSUxQ9Mjb
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDTuEyQNhX
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFHcgcva3
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t53ETWgkP
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbESchUBIux
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqWDJlyACD
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RBAfOHQN
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?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsV6YIynI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyBHnMfTFp
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kyo4P8rpe
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdbLmZLt48
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3OdvUuZB
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHBetaajT8
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkl8eYvcUW
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaralQWUD6
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz1pp6v6bP
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ50yheNFU
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRIng0Hlov
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2ncD4Sog
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5ufqM3Rt
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwAHSLEfwq
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6s0LJCqjX
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PJR0nbdYT
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gAtrlVnby
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sTKLPUEV8
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupIE2ikBnQ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelBbDBtVJV
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqJnYKn99
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1T2TsYyBG
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR217DD9WT
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY6MKrltkx
"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?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTEl9WXPM
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCtAivnzNb
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlqIDeJ6V5
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3AKdqsXBy
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFC2Ow5hZg
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIquMwKuZQO
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJv8hGzFh
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cXHVNI2HB
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0nOu25BR5
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7NFryua3
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPGJlLf9xB
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNrXckv06B
"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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejWQKyKFuU
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsVne7v67F
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuJLx3hsA2
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAMLRwbWht
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Vdr2ttQj
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbtII74026
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizLA76jmLv
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Ch59hdfK
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9cINimXWI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCoUYoxXMN
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHgZbrIO1j
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcNpN4j6h
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrF4NyZTgo
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur9fIGfgKQ
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCwF0SsDI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY80b2tH5G
"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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHIvFTPz9c
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcJzcJfeg
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWtVQ2r29s
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHCZUwrG0w
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcWQDbq6gV
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIf9fbRdk
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO00EtryBH
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W85vIPFJa
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZcESLJ04V
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXVaIXNjA
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39QFgmNpFu
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMilITdDAr
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC1i0nb1t5
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAJbMZfdmb
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHiCSTm8iN
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHYpytog71
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0XNNDKvgM
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WJ3P3eepJ
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDGrOxQGf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehZUAh950
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfWkGcch31
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2jUS2bcbD
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD23JGOEQy
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXL5ivCrn7
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KlkJMMS2p
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1YDKTry5y
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrRHGGSuIJ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSep3mC1jm
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYVg4iaTw
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbdq2PvFj
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH3y4imn2k
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0VvNkSXED
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?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSNv4OTw7
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoimjFLNA
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyVKYFNkqa
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEdy3DQ8UZ
"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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWIqrhpy9p
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKipXjaCXUR
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgzXTnq3l0
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgm87alqmW
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC9SLEXOoD
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpffsFSJ12
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeYlRy7QHZ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmUZWPyHjW
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.
