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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJqKJ3SKi
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxSg3J5YY5
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewDe1xnBT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOR9AFP4N
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZriYRRL0Fo
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt6eE2ZTs5
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZDIYAWTLJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmJVbQymkH
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwRIsYz03D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA77O1Sk21C
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48svJd6lxc
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzw75OifMB
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GFZeEbevW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOKGvKriCE
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NmYCVHtoW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHV0GcaqE0
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAJhMs3GV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxjMi0DHM
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mfmHETJDj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJsQfRzMp
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?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vcxlTMHeC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEFZGpmxdK
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHJCfQhmEk
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVny9aCNvx
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDfeLTkr04
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50LfelNkxR
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM4iiCAIIn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILG55of7UU
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhu2ZrFJ8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcsjUtHgRP
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T3VKdA8j4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb90cfnbLp
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxgmqzOzrn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX2qWRVycR
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcu9mB0X7N
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipM4DbMXhx
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWyx4NwA3X
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TG23NvuH
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLLwcsU5CJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbLFHwkdef
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnah0sh1On
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz0I5LsiVN
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5FupIWGjg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRrIokgk4o
"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?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi37lFw26l
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zea5j8cJB
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvdjf2FKsR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCZpsJYFL5
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQKkZ45AHo
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNimDDk1J83
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfvovqelBy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm2i4h4bah
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4rS6O0FDw
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4tY7se5w
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu9VFddVlN
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSMFcX4YLO
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ04WPS7g1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0PJOAZWbB
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn53awyLo4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGEpozTWEQ
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGV811e7n9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMAUMAPaIl
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsrMoQf1gI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZev8pUP9DS
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB26Ig2kcM0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHYcXKGAcP
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uFo0nXcVu
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb9rfnMCqc
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeizAanvbda
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvmEuk9wG9
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsuzWW2LD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjUrwd5hjd
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns6dAcGOrW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaXT0Kx5iZ
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmVeGepFi
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hlxnOKniM
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnvfgUxZMv
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0Kc55lpR
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeg1R3u7t4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMscKv3t1o
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxl60Te7FL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsdt4Bwnp6
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeqlARaY49
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwq8EVbypT
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizEcrRikz3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv3pRe71jj
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt0xm791F6
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DSYlzmk1N
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhF33itt4v
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWxVOG0ZYA
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT6c8X9ub1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs381kec7F
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwLxqD0IVa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38iAUenlso
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWWedxhXeF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQsxpSZ1Sc
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb54rDpbuJS
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RalEOTqmB
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzojWu58qje
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh4TPAX7TW
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wgzPeuyHn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PnEZ33fIH
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesJMEqEGVC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vzqf9KjOz
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?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ny6Xw7HnJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4HQ9FI6gM
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIQeotOqg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHtT3A3JCz
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgIYSay5l9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9y6nd2lRH
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ2GTK4DD8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK0VWBYZXW
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fv5tPe8AJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcvZsAaALB
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmOgV3Ojw
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2a0e0ys9n
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.
