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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPj0UH1Rd4
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdHRoRENL
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6H1zbQCIq
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ydA7W1KN
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o9wr1hZVx
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeLxHqkyZS
"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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoFWVi7eBh
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OxJai4Xq7
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmrdxxH4VI
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB2wMB3zgd
"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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgQSAX08Ss
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdN9Wd9CmW
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvXcn37RvC
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SaBW0IDJ
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFDGKJuOca
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kHPU6b9il
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbIBbnogZ5
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fIYy1jZMc
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIZqj4a0Hk
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5SiG7AlJm
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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdhNBIU1mP
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgGvjoBRG
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYKndtwHq3
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEwt6qcj6n
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDs4HhHXHT
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0u782XOW
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb1xP6EVVz
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6i05SpB58
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJcdKFil7
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbAjKm9YhA
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uj72JyV5Z
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hzTokw1xA
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTHeQvWrvm
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8gURAauZC
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRUdmqqPea
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L0SGZghEw
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqo2UGSZ4
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6930zjSaXN
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nF6yMB9T
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxPlZYlsPA
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRscdjTFbOJ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41YqFMxRz3
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxybHOOREd
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep329PaY7h
"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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzRII0GZob
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CBodUfOH
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Ml2BU5Z5
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29RHspqsAk
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkNibLBvua
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZwrxAV1XW
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSs7KUjZE7
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVDSOMHOps
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkHL7qOkD
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA5bkzSzd8
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVynKRKpxt
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AwiWvbqLm
"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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgli7lhyQx
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1gIhjNG9I
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0VQ7wjt85
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqTDsLpEth
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgmmgdq9F
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ZHUKz7sD
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N2eHxTqPb
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrVK9eM7x
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Iw9hVlnT
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjS5aYmF0x
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9GcW2RKoF
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnoepDQiCr
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZuRVSI5O
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMdBi8tpaH
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV7FMJIbo1
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoHzdkISQ
"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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlLSjLl5OX
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7KzJZfLQy
"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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMauPpWVOhB
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnd1jb4Xz
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQwcXFVZ8R
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjRNX4GWjX
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsXnXJRsAJ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOTZS3Dmp
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0WjgByTqq
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzO5g13iu
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJzxgQfb8I
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrg6qgf5W
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dIYPcDGC
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE8KtdVyKI
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsEIM2MZH2
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulngPmsggl
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSn8jOnApT
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGNoYMkla4
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bWsrCRS80
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKYOuiiP8j
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwW7g3xLSg
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGVjhXd1Pb
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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP29BWeIxQ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bMBmdsQCd
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JWnIq8Bh
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbqE9STGIz
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLX6GxglE
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVJo826adO
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpj0AVJCTj
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9z33xguT
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HiQRQwtb
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSo9oifqim
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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHbC8rESgv
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlbjTnUWoF
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoYtmZvIPU
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgfTNc8bYD
"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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NPLaOp25P
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFkNdnjDCL
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLwp7kpEql
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx226Le4Za
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MrWPGgnTo
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFqhBN0R49
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815mIk6ELS
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahRXWrAwCY
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.
