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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNlg8v5X7J
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl48Oij6chA
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0nZBDIXXO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTEbUk6Vll
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDo1Kpa10H
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2SxpqeV2
"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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0wBACXPmw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fI4m9w6B7
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK4I3zLYfw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWv6cQHVS2
"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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNembbFoZiE
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfS5h98seA
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1IaANSbMB
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHSUmz6fk
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgNazvPMUD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXTDBAmuG
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xK5cy0J6u
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjzYRpqlVB
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJRpENBmpC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6KQP8801
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?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6V1J02f5V
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcbRumg4OF
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYTl5PYBA
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNFh7bPOZ
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAMLyPuS5r
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMVSVgS6n
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwtx1lSmPT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pEjmgMmg5
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqztHnxgpPu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyObp5sWC6b
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL3t7TQ3ye
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduIVZrTkiJ
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PRscRiUR3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zawLW6mNY
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEYdWgbbcW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpb5VZxdd8
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofzIvBBKv
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra7WzxOGQY
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitlFH1eI9S
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQZwdRY9HQ
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNEShWGmA3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdj9FTPSj9
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBBLu6FIE8
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvh1FDKqXw
"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?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcyaDoCw92
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd4qrXeIoa
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPij0ZTLngR
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLcUa9XcP
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvelP9BrCi
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4PCZi2b5e
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnJS7EkRkp
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZuH6J24d3
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQZgGp4ca
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxuc4nuwP
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkI7lkpMlw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcz4kbwPv
"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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWupBcri71
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlPjJaY3Hf
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUMIe1ENo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVJwGsd4aB
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMz3RrPgMf
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrgdHMIadn
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSioy4ePun9
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGD9AvhuWI
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP86Ew8f7n5
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIFZ66W5LD
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFvqdAmvB0
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTC3KdAsv
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFNig9qIy4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNJsx7wgIY
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpv5EnQpib
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RrGo1Nbqt
"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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKRvBH8fJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUmBBKKqJ
"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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jGHmq0EzG
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSqXdoBUp
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcVNYbt2XU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYzF6hegx
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWZodIsyz
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthZwFtE2cB
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpE5hC5rh
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKebcbRCpWD
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxeqV4BAOF
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9UWxiRAIM
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5GJ0TQCfg
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AWi3cezI7
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ELmMLaeZd
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaS972aJai
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShXJfnMIFW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUQb5UGOEz
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnNEmvsKR
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVKoEmZl7g
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrllc6el0q
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3PRojriZ
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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbHcXuNeb
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJLS6wJV9
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSRuWAgXnq
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMHXQ4SrRb
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCkIIRaLZ3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndO7Q68f0m
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2KeA7ZZR
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xXPgcRSmG
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQPRzRLSgu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiqIinMSNq
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?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rpIzE4swy
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LryuDRY8K
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWXkRvdaQD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcaE1YdjUe
"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."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEdQLEbwhY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh11Jpbq9R
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAWuuaiCl0
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdKOMkWVd
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6nUm3oDm
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMLhFJZJCC
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuaAd6s1dt
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzayPcRrSDE
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.
