Skyrim: Bliss in bondage [Soru]

[spriter1]

"Well whatever happens, I hope it all goes well for you. I'll leave you to eat while your food is still warm, and enjoy."
With that, Adam heads off to leave you to your meal and to listen to a song about a prophecy. It can't be true though, can it? After all it's only a legend...

[Soru]

Felicia thanks him again and starts to eat her food, not really listening to the bard song as she enjoys her spiced fish, the clams, and the mead. Once she was done she leaves a few extra coins on the table and heads back to the college with her two bottles that she'll save for now.

[spriter1]

You finish up your meal and leave, Adam tending to a customer meaning he doesn't notice your tip nor the fact you are leaving. When you get to the college, you find that Isabella is just walking out of the library, a new backpack on her back along with her satchel, both of which look pretty full already. She doesn't seem to notice you as she keeps walking, and Claire pops out from a hallway behind her meaning they don't see each other. Claire walks up to you and looks a bit nervous. "Hey Felicia. Would it be okay... if um... I asked you a question?"

[Soru]

Felicia turns to Claire and gives her a smile. "Of course you can, Claire. What's it about? And why do you seem nervous?" She asks the girl.

[spriter1]

"Listen... I went and told Savos that we were planning on leaving and we don't know for how long... And that's when he made me an offer... To stay here. I thought I should see what you and Isabella think of it..."

[Soru]

Felicia was a bit surprised to hear this, but not too surprised. She knew those two were close friends so the offer wasn't too hard to believe. "I see... Why don't we go tell Isabella. But Claire..." She places her hands on Claire's shoulders and smiles at her. "Remember that this is your choice and that I'll be supportive what you choose. You may look at the two of us as your mistresses, but you are free to choose whatever you want. Now let's go see Isabella." She smiles at her a bit more as they go to see Isabella.

[spriter1]

Claire gives you a nervous smile back, happy at your answer before giving you a hug, and from what you can tell she might be crying a bit from how shaky her words are.
"T-Thank yoou..."
She walks with you back to the room, walking in and basically ignoring the rule about being naked, although you don't think that matters since you guys are going to be leaving soon. Isabella is packing away the last bit of the stuff along with having your strongboxes sitting on your bed before turning around with a smile only for it to chance to concern when she sees Claire.
"Claire, you okay?"
"Well M-Mistress I-"
"Don't call me mistress when you are in that state. We aren't really going by the rules at the minute anyway."
"Okay... Isabella, I-I was Wondering... If... I could stay with Sssavos."
"Oh Claire..."
Isabella walks over to Claire before pulling her into an embrace.
"Is that why you are upset? There's no need to be like that... I may be your mistress inside the room but I'm your friend just like Felicia is. If you want to say, I will miss you but I won't stop you."
"Thank you..."
Isabella and Claire are just hugging for a second longer before they break.
"So Felicia. Are you okay with her staying here?"

[Soru]

Felicia nods and pats Claire's back. "I am okay with that. Might be safer for her as well considering all the things we've already encountered. We'll miss you Claire, but we'll respect your decision." Felicia lightly rubs her back as she smiles at her. "And we'll be sure to visit you as well."

[spriter1]

"Thanks... I'll go and let you two pack..."
With that, Claire picks up her bag from the end of the bed and walks out, giving a little wave behind her as the door closes. You can see Isabella calming herself down a bit before speaking.
"So... With that out of the way, what do you want to do with these strongboxes? Are we taking them, are we leaving them, are we unlocking them now?"

[Soru]

"I want to unlock them, but I don't have the picks for them. These are hard to unlock. Let me try unlocking one of them again." Felicia takes out a few lockpicks and gets to work. "I hope Claire will be alright here. She's young and it's dangerous for her to follow us." She says as she works on the strongbox.

[spriter1]

"Well she is young minded at least. Even then some ways I think she is more mature than us if you know what I mean."

(GM roll - 4, 5, 20!)

You're first two lockpicks break in no time flat, but by some stroke of luck you hit the sweet spot instantly with the third, turning the lock to reveal... What looks like a dwemer Lexicon! you know from selling one or two that these were used by the race to either store information, or as miniature contraptions, almost being like a bag of holding with how much mechanical gizmos and gadgets are inside. you can't find anything to discern what it is though, the entire outside being smooth apart from the dwemer writing along the side and also the small joint at the top looking to belong to a ball joint. you feel your dwarven dagger vibrate slightly as you hold it, and can see the end of the hilt would slot in,,,

[Soru]

"Yeah, you're probably right." Felicia laughs a bit before she manages to open the strongbox. "Huh, didn't expect to find this." She says as she pulls out the Lexicon. "These are not something you usually find. Makes me want to open the rest of these now and explore that ship some more..." She inspects the lexicon when she feels her dwarven dagger was vibrating. Pulling her dagger out she looks it over and then the Lexicon. "Hmm...I wonder..." She takes the dagger and tries to put the hilt into the slot.

[spriter1]

(GM roll - 20!)

You easily slot in the ball end of the dagger, only for a metal tube to shot up the hilt and make it so you can't take it out for now! You notice that one side of the lexicon has pooped open, and manage to throw it onto the bed just in time to avoid having your wrist grabbed! The lexicon then returns back to it's closed position, and the dagger come out of the top with a little pop!
You guess that it isn't broken as it landed on the bed, and that whatever it was going to do might not be done best with a dagger...

[Soru]

Felicia looks at the lexicon curiously even after her dagger got stuck in it. With her feline reflexes she manages to toss the cube onto the bed before it could grab her wrist. She carefully picks it up and inspects it again. "Hmm...Appears to need some kind of key to open it..." She packs it up with the rest of her things and puts the strongboxes in as well, stuffing them inside.

[spriter1]

You pack up the rest of your things, with Isabella finishing off her packing as well. Once the both of you are happy, you head out of the room. Then something occurs to you... You are in a magical school with little to no room left in your bags from gold and items. You have heard of bags of holding, which are said to be many times bigger on the inside as they are on the outside. They also seem to have their weight act differently as well, with items feeling many times lighter inside. You could search the college, or even the store for one or maybe two of these... but you know that these are items that are very difficult to craft, and thus the price skyrockets.

[Soru]

Felicia thinks about those bags of holding which would really help with the amount that she was already carrying. She had no idea where to find one though or how much one would cost except that it would be very expensive. She decides to ask Isabella though since she's been around the college more and learning. "Hey Isabella, do you know where we can find a bag of holding? I could really use one with all the stuff I have." She says to her mage friend.

[spriter1]

"Um, I can only think of the alteration wing of the school, since the senior mages practising that kind of magic will usually have moved in there. That's just a guess though, I have no idea what kind of magic is used for bags of holding. It could be restoration for all I know."

[Soru]

Felicia nods and decides to check it out before they leave. "Well you wrap up whatever you need to finish. I'm going to go ask them about those bags quickly." Felicia departs from Isabella for now and heads to the alteration wing. There she looks around for the senior mages so she could ask about the bags of holding.

[spriter1]

(GM roll - 18)

You head over to the alteration wing to find that it is a bit warped with experiments gone wrong you guess. There are branches coming out of walls, doors turned sideways, and cracks along the ground. There even seems to be a stream running along the roof... Somehow in the chaos you manage to find some students pretty quickly, and lo and behold they are discussing the very thing you are looking for. From the sounds of it, one of them has managed to tweak the spell on the bag to allow it not only to store alot more, but to fit the opening around alot more things. From what you gather just by listening is that it will store about twice as much as an ordinary bag of holding, and can fit around a greatsword sideways, which is remarkable as when the man pulls it out it looks like nothing more than a money pouch made from black silk...

[Soru]

Felicia smiles a bit when she sees that she came at a good time. She waits till they were not busy or in the middle of a lessen before approaching the teacher. "Excuse me, sir. I was wondering about acquiring a bag of holding before I leave here." She says to the teacher. "I notice that you were all talking about them and one would be very useful on my journey."
