Hannah the Lockpicker
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 91717
|
Luckily the blue energy did not extend as far as Astra's wrists or
ankles, as Hannah wasn't sure what would happen to her if she tried to
reach through it. In fact, though the energy field was almost perfectly
opaque it only covered roughly the same regions as a rather skimpy bikini
would have done. Astra explained that the spell drew on her own body's
energy, and she had had to make a trade off between the amount of skin
that it covered and how much of her vitality it would drain. At its
current size the drain was negligible, but it would increase rapidly if
she chose to cover more of herself.
In the time that it took her to explain this, Hannah had unpicked the locks on the shackles on both wrists and both ankles, using a hairpin which luckily had been something that Belboz had put in her hair as part of her transformation. "Thank you!" Astra said, massaging her arms and legs. "How did you manage to do that so quickly - or at all for that matter? You give the appearance of being a simple peasant girl of only fifteen or so, but lockpicking hardly seems compatible with that."
