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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHul7r7ukvW
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwzshU7V82
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWCaq1kZq7
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyDuR1yuOm
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPL8DZmS5d
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdcBtosGTi
"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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytX7xpu4QW
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5StBDmG4g
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatOKF0aRK8
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU5dCcfcNn
"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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwleYoY4vr
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9X3sFUn6
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKfrxyNgtb
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRvWnHVMcp
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFbwR8SaxT
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tGtTnHAi
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzlS5nQTNO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFGx1dD6J
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1UA7YJDnv
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk2lSL9UvP
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?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujCq3jGAVQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8hz9pMZC
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qdW2n3A2y
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wzr2SumE1
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHH6aEuCe4
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWP07GU4qZ
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWkJ6v3VR
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrHoa2xvxI
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1SWlnrejQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ZIuwsJHv
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB08SRALvyo
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzu3L3Y3Nc
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wQSaJEWVg
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe6AnwH61H
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WhbrzMCn
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7qKEIDOKM
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6Vn9yY2l
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhyezdmjKD
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx6PRsScbv
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EC4MAcl0z
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqC5jfjIye
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfdhTP1NpU
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4QhzJyqZJ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNoLkBRHpP
"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?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2RJJgnV4w
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn0w7PX4Ya
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXx0v7jYFI
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFhpoD47BH
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOWDR5D0xj
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnyNEWhVGr
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAxThs1hM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswPoJcAjeH
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoaaB0tSzO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgEiIMlx8
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSP284QeBO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw82cMQXFn
"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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctIy9T96J
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZr9ldCRJ0
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuFLtQGf3q
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOMGh0ZKup
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88LppaRPPl
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ63SLiSnHg
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdTpVaKf51
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGU59i2JPP
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWsHp4gjO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7pgeK9hSX
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9lnROPCDg
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i9nVtR5TU
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQqOo6bsxx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRd44lBUky
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVuoXLOLCR
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwlUPn9xB1
"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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeu05l8Yvc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGj9fUkpBz
"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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qY8mW63cd
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZBzQ77bUF
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9zmzG0zM7
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgTfzKLuWa
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJ9nrtNkf
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5nAMp0KL5
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZfIMYwAn9
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUP0ligZ0e
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxO61Z0aDw
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYCz32pwX
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoVfenffee
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuV6Cpf2mI
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFnO9tqDR6
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3JsxQRRr
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YTR0fOUlo
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PmwFZxoI
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphU491b8Iq
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLtmGErS58
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BUVSIiWT
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMVjmY9QeV
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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCzSO4OkKQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUFuDL3XkZ
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFNnq5qIWx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7k3bjAIXW
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x2IqRTeED
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf2Yz3VIwU
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrkkPGPrB7
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAGqE4SNk7
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTKWqZvrjh
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEghWy8QDps
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?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpSULeUg8P
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOHvKGIcYn
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3mG61Kj1o
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecB6FTIlKn
"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."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyqUnBX4HH
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCBeT6nL9n
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYWooFO0bz
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCseoMgp8JO
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdW1BcP7KU
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmkmvEjDDo
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Df0stZhQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY0NOA2dMH
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.
