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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMvehQabs4
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7YwaOzgcI
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdk63oL68
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQywfV2YRBg
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jom4l5iGu
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe91pBD1Na7
"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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyGqEYDFJ7
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58JNpP84S
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiFbDJthUV
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGio5JhPI
"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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRi0HACTyx
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjBdYNWnpX
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZUwXqQr0R
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrelVuCoTZU
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3VrV70Rx2
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViGi9mEZY8
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FjvJYf0al
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDEzJVPcsl
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiroNLE5o
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmIFHnQI1y
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?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHanEf5Qqg
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LiNiO90AY
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVe3VAN3lK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5CNuttJ8a
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklftHPh7Fk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4OObil3qT
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F46XQ90DC
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5BhyppCdb
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQZPKnySf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFVEaXD9Q
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKFTW4yNJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFju0wDOd6B
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq0xZJMpzM
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8H00WcdPu
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3bfT7taa
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtYP5UVfn
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitDoTsAJ3N
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGBwdAQ0I
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF15QdGCcn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAyI3jpPiG
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWQJqeczwa
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6kU2DBmn8
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5a5TWNzxb
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwiEm6kgNa
"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?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rtwlhl3fT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjozvMB0Vo
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8aizywB6Z
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5mzRVC3II
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZM1rZKpqv
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsM3XIEbg
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2BINKA8J
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp5yws3bTW
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfo5ZSEezs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNelYMRHWMv
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWz86C1Fj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAP2FxZD8w
"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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskHcHfhfOL
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkewLGGYmHl
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wtdsJsOu
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw7BACC5Kd
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uKGZJc2yi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MaswwpJGr
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBkgKAX0x
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHqi3BoKuZ
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s1lqCvnsN
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYftlYBgC0J
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73X8MjVJyZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iS1aFlQqA
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC9MAnBNSC
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IHFzrLY0
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1EPWS4asK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUak2A2SNX
"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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxT7XNTkVZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQg7CGAeEE
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5TGRURIlP
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0oIJMNNQq
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAOnI8RThu
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdXKsJ6EVv
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjHORuQra
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfyIFk9MUo
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrWKvQuDE
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5hqR8Ifyf
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcwDtTtS00
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6DxiCqaG
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdZcLbveQQ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOYWOo5wk
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxsh6szjB
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmATB3j0U9
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfsCLDOlat
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnm3cTPyl5
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SDPzz40uJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD6PpMwGiL
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4czDa6FYw
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xb2oj8cKD
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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oevnl4E6A
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejb2ELXy0g
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFAJG0siFI
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CL6HUszf6
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg2TXaH4Zz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxeggCyiyB
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXwTSiCvyP
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSqRzXpPgW
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG9x7Gwino
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wno7D8WV1
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?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1OHt6gYaO
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zGG47ur1J
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fVrWjYn1m
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UpE1pmDNv
"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."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtM0eOdF04
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz04iDt6TG
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpxqjXOxSM
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cS0qyYXa
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTaXbzerCn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5YcLFDKuB
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WtCVpothn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR9XVHPLlp
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.
