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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4Fa2i2ly
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALpUpBJ6ER
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwuBgblmm
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXl29cUotb
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzHfG1wmRI
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ917PtCJeYp
"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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJEpjiLXBZ
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaI4sTVKc
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcin5F81xck
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPikQeEqf8
"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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZRbD81IBu
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXrwaD5Vxl
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqkm9Y8pYF
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXjP5DJoB
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoUG3jws4a
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pv0jyrb7i
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOXt8Htl9l
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZi3YkLsY
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82U17FTEQM
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5RJRy3dlS
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?"651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPaeUI09bX
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwT7NRu5MI
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpxoA39Lx1
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RBfocDcko
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oZxIdN23f
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtheMCJR1j
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWptr8DsrK
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7RPYnmYFJ
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVrVzAiQW7
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLNeO9qQj4
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbIz39WuI4
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEuHDI4UwK
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebcom9bOYN
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4UW8qxsTI
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF1fSAPbBw
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgnEVTTtN
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxuNaYmFpm
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrBMtJYz4
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5z4TxEf4
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTQr03xikV
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j7EwWX4xu
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5amPMSbti
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tLvhzfJ6
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDknK37lkbO
"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?"651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8DNJQ9Fo3
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEedWR1ZDX
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQJtN6iXgH
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AXJFdpeKe
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gPIgRRzvm
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfKDSqgMD
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtbkOS9LB
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWqkoi7l3o
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwklLObatQN
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkxrxvlYBJ
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMy0RSQoTM
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dZ8N9KdjU
"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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEe5FQOM5a
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuSp411gVL
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh1PfCrAn0
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZTsgJ9nt
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3S2yUMPki
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYuNDqMjy7
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLALWSbOnp
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9solJQJOOH
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVR3hvqULx
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8csLq5aiJb
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdFv1Dp56G
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EcXh2d7kd
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCoO9vEbkz
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhlgcyRCkH
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2SfZlhws6
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclEFGhiJ5d
"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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zFYTmMsTu
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwbMyUCJlE
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpgq8g2OfO
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtUTfqUu4e
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoB1tuO4ZI
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MZVHLqjmf
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2JOXvi4Yy
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fxoj55JuW
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcGypIv5c0
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62x2fzXMkw
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkix1DEMcse
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGYWCPysCE
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXlS3YfF7
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5MvCqfEvE
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qH8H3dS36
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5839j5Dr
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUIvTmlvH9
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVnbGQezf5
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qwAui1PcM
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfLv40NuW2
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEiTaZAbpA
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWUG7D6O2
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63CKT2wZTo
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546nvowEaD
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9jVEei3Ll
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyXdt7sxe2
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAqLRGrpw
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5yyvxohjS
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6rG6wsSLe
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUbCEJQyvX
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkCHKkzZgx
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZEip5CIt9
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?"651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GIa7Lxuli
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JVgcp8soX
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgOlVRFHrO
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6UmsSVzB9
"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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5eYMbQw3
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCAdXUaQnJ
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEts7Jtaki
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L4Fb7FT3h
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPs4GOdWHN
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNYnp33Ogu
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAoLQtdoqQ
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cwbj7H9WQ
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.
