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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAxtt2PWzxGS
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvVDRxOsOFy
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.412Please respect copyright.PENANAcznbbXbvg0
412Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Rcp7wVNH
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAH8wpWTPnkr
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9CZPmQF4EE
"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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAEz67RHE4nA
412Please respect copyright.PENANAukkDC3gsWu
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ7Wb7nb1V
412Please respect copyright.PENANARdv5Iw1Jrd
"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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAWUPbqIB9SC
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVRP7P5gCuG
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.412Please respect copyright.PENANAECQdivJpIb
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFpta27BGiC
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAFXN4aSQJMF
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsP6m5nvacV
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANA9GinjYaf8O
412Please respect copyright.PENANAC1AMbNvfVY
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANA4KM28WB3Nh
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZQMhDNkUHC
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?"412Please respect copyright.PENANARQAtkpaqRN
412Please respect copyright.PENANAKLpHzM65cU
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAj8y5I2POi2
412Please respect copyright.PENANAswKMPVchS3
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.412Please respect copyright.PENANAJvvNFwQBgo
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1fhuh9SOhd
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."412Please respect copyright.PENANAST2q7Cx7OG
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgPVfFIPSfk
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAEPxutECJOW
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgEXCxICVYg
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.412Please respect copyright.PENANAuB6lxjsTJ4
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVQHYpYHN0P
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAUaaZsAEOo1
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVOzBVTpxQj
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANASqxD4axFd5
412Please respect copyright.PENANACJuXRQ8Quk
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANA4jS3swJ6zr
412Please respect copyright.PENANAl6HC4UFviA
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANALvSWuUEZDF
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9YV3deRacL
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.412Please respect copyright.PENANAg2GmAeMUdZ
412Please respect copyright.PENANA67mUarKdhV
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAkfUm30Z9iB
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3hzVfZSG2y
"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?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAocQZYZ9VZJ
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYCxJx4pqOY
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"412Please respect copyright.PENANA3PX4cY8rg8
412Please respect copyright.PENANALM7PtYtogn
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAFDwLZcUDaZ
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFjyQ3Uu9xA
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANA8jFxDrm4wk
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjHQosAap0L
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANALDn3k6VxnZ
412Please respect copyright.PENANArAcGUlS8fN
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.412Please respect copyright.PENANAZtfgMzRKDm
412Please respect copyright.PENANAScwJKt53Jk
"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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAYwXaxtKRu4
412Please respect copyright.PENANAXghfzSmfF7
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANApE5PX1pb8N
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUlZWaQcnBO
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAK0lSXfajiq
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6mbmo7GGfQ
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAi6LmYdYdrQ
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJGZdMKlWnY
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.412Please respect copyright.PENANARz7W0Hl4gd
412Please respect copyright.PENANAPUgruU5qNb
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."412Please respect copyright.PENANAoUASQOAB6P
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7FCt1uFawH
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.412Please respect copyright.PENANAyaLon8naeg
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaCVt48MkLq
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAvmixzrELTU
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5jf08PwQ48
"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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAcVnyZrYQwd
412Please respect copyright.PENANAEUnOqYukcL
"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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAX25cq3PKhy
412Please respect copyright.PENANArdFqWE3Mfx
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANA8pWECNmbwI
412Please respect copyright.PENANAcafV3sX1eG
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAdR8ROjFtT6
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8SEdj62n80
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANANYVYG5IxTc
412Please respect copyright.PENANASVJMZ5WnbI
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAMwoQPBjKgN
412Please respect copyright.PENANAiV7Sov6E3p
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAe1dtXX30FH
412Please respect copyright.PENANAtqUoJ7YjnM
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.412Please respect copyright.PENANAApvKm1z5K1
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6pmBA94lZq
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.412Please respect copyright.PENANAQEwBh4oU6W
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaSnOqHCVRI
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."412Please respect copyright.PENANARSkgabZW6R
412Please respect copyright.PENANA55uYONkXqP
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAHgkezKxsh5
412Please respect copyright.PENANADChXbdoeWk
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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAm0gCNMRWpk
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjTfu1phLuo
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."412Please respect copyright.PENANAMot1VEJUi7
412Please respect copyright.PENANAxFZ0fvays3
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAB3HTaMXEaI
412Please respect copyright.PENANAIa1wnLNKDM
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.412Please respect copyright.PENANA0q7Xu1GoqM
412Please respect copyright.PENANAyEk3hONDmw
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAiqHRrVr2oR
412Please respect copyright.PENANALcB3TrmE63
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?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAi39dkk3zcq
412Please respect copyright.PENANAyKrWjMN5jD
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.412Please respect copyright.PENANAGqp9lI5duh
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsvKiny8cKa
"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."412Please respect copyright.PENANAYdK8uYWm9z
412Please respect copyright.PENANAlZEQzXCnIj
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."412Please respect copyright.PENANAJHf8A4ls3q
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsBMc3XFxQ7
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."412Please respect copyright.PENANA2UyY5p9Iv5
412Please respect copyright.PENANABW8l6jwPU2
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."412Please respect copyright.PENANA4OvebteK2a
412Please respect copyright.PENANAekuTxxIkEK
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.
