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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxOciZJoZM
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evrL7LmnH
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNZxuOhzwf
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21j5yVkYeG
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOMN7aG0w
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLm2ovjnWM
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ZSvXiRXV
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35czcRNAC4
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9lxpGZm31
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeslQVKjM8
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ow1FcC7Qa
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9is9vFoK5
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHeid1RpQY
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ4sKhlzIN
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKhjEl3d6
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxlfDx0h5
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFhN86rkH
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXkXxEGi8g
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEn7RToqqq
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR8HH1lK8w
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?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJvpHua3l
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFTl5q9xO
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fVPlXIB2V
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITCDZOTG9
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxj4jNDVyg
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemSGUlML3W
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ao2UOYj3v
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBkAMXw5fl
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bHcDnAQTY
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsu86nnGRx
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjW6jvIUa0
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxzc8fnmfi
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qngQBL4D1
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHaMTCYRFf
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebpGxgR4K8
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3CnZrFIbn
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE8b2krWy4
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRxtYq5tjb
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8F2wzYcu4
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry0li5gohS
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdGZ19jWec
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC2p6wzEYd
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ItTUJctNV
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX75LSi1PO
"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?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz0l0b6TSs
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgIIHgPiz
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzrpLyMnpZ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJECbQ3GSN
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMglmDkdpi
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz05GJkfPt
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YvBDnScCI
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPiESR1OgG
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nHUpehVA
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEyi2nEEG
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKSdb8cSh4
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHmisFEkAW
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPe5FhKcFc
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lcKhUtm8q
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfsxqjyE0H
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLeowRjJFw
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhHSojLy92
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY819xRjbsj
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2B9bOEVlT
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx62hRDTFv
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW2DC2s1yC
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjdZbpAMm
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Aj0NKCd5
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxccTPA94lX
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XNycXRh9
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrntG3CyssN
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDn2QWhSO2
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZKFFMQPpy
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMtncmRJk8
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00pQ2pjJIL
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrp3b9WKho
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYpEtmLq6d
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6C61MTsZ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFAhtLYac
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qq7wCR8kj
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmGJFwt0ZM
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10PajrDWUq
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HBQ7cbxni
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW63DqlMBT
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqcbdeKV8n
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF7YHtLx8e
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXi6PT9C7u
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uMhff7h18
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagVPlb9WL
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBv5fZvwO2
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdchiOCLum
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yqs0wGmOJ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A1rYTlDIB
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXFho9Zf7d
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4n0NjODR9
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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qKyP5YlkY
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IHF3aGwV8
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8g9rSk4Vj
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1mQkK0vv2
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59OlkEVpk1
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHXjywHD21
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiy6AdCi0q
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDwP6ja05M
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf4FGtSHZN
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdaVZdS4w
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?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukle6JdbhA
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5dN3MeSTn
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rSDlu8gBN
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8S86O7S0U
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKlg2kMh7O
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNUIrza9mM
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMnfKivOCJ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmeXVQjzSC
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABSogK0lQo
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OgsfbMbng
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfqEWFb9u
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMHCCwIU7O
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.
