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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaMwJF5mCJ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JQuyTwbAA
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGQewfvzZ8
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0eERSzWB4
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIV4sqbQ8Z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPAqB7NM4R
"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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkPeIdA55e
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIemHVKgW3
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzZ68Ivk85
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJ2DMGIKf
"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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGUiSBfhQX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsWpVs7dF
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWwyThQsx3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaVf4ODntn
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbcHh4hmH
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8MDpPnGB
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6VIy1Z7ki
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqlyXh49Tu
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvYWwjnCUh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk3YFsLdBx
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?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1LQe9I4IZ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitoXPzwdV
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmmywtJCox
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKZTxXdDWb
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DA6oWc2q
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7bv7Djvlv
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SeASLVum0
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVruq1D4m1m
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tj1PhO13S
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM7TFnLAvH
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MAMAFX7E
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9li5S8dpe
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVRTkyQYn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnR1pgfI2D
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwSIqPuQ7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81BBzX6Gs
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY86hnnGzu
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rtIpmALrk
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDJpoaM8Xr
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMkA5xZStx
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAhVtTIeXZ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1bbCaNcGC
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZYl2Q6ma
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrenMBgp2wZ
"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?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT0xMicVA4
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEMaxS6xJD
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOlCjSfiCx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoCeCZDncM
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYOIohCvys
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANmZKBW9sq
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpD0y6JbXN
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRUPJ28yEa
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfUC7ErP5V
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867nqjm7x4
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EjGwVFTBB
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZoCFsIjg0
"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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZDRQLyhGD
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6MERpTpVB
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oyF8OPGsY
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1fSYQ1tS6
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy30A3GXcH
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5yYRwCPr
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn4LHRkf7a
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlicrQdZ8Ka
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ywZY55GsU
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ809ctBsGnb
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzWxRUXWQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFrhIttNfI
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3xMw6SCfV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaCgIWkbEs
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5JnzfPSSh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujHStxJ0Jv
"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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSF6MwOze2
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB9wGImWsR
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqS2CXim5b
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5LY1xXON
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RTMgqdsHo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHpCt1Hib7
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYJXNCokF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcmCPpnuRh
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PRT7iBg4q
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6V7m0aGG3
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDracQdj6x
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HPyckoUON
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNheKfiyGEk
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsYwzjwQmi
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKXhHWjZWo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn30LP8M5o
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwA2pEDXHY
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zfT7x5EUe
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTWvWwFvKL
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ1JbpXNhF
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwnfuAlpKq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1jVXWlYkz
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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWsnh6hBKa
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXACsbzKYk
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR4kdPYARA
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHPgUI9ild
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BHl1ZiSoR
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYTWuAjqZO
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXjcJqpCvg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3LTAD137h
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyV8gh70b
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqgALj9o1J
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?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXshGiZpW
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFj7Ehjc2U
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi2YOADdrn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GcfD67WhG
"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."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8J7Ak3XA5
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQziIr8e1Ye
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHmhzRUFGq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NJ6L9rbZR
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqzogBoetn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDqogOiVD
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VCM7M7L1i
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUJ3hqBK6a
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.
