Stryker has a couple of things he would like to attend to before he is mission ready. The last few battles have put him on the defensive while his team has taken a beating. With such a small team its important that he can pull his weight when offensive force is needed.
Addressing the tower caretakers,
"It’s been quite an experience supporting the tower. I have a feeling however that these missions are just the tip of the iceberg and what is to come will be far more challenging. I would like to ask for some time in the in the training simulacrum so that I may better prepare myself. As a healer, swordplay was not part of my normal training, but here I find that I must become more versatile. If the caretakers would permit, I would like to train with the sword (longsword)."
Back at the Fort Stryker replenishes resupplies, makes his purchases of magic items and makes a stop at the blacksmith.
Handing the blacksmith a chunk of Quadanium he begins,
"I have come across a small amount of Quadanium ore and would like to commission a special job. I would like to get the ore smelted and then incorporated into a heavy duty leather messenger bag."
"The main inner compartment should be armored with the Quadanium, and well-padded for discretion. I’m not overly fond of clinking and clanking. The whole point of the bag is to keep the contents safe without making it look like or weigh as much as a vault. Since we live in a swamp, waterproofing would be nice. Maybe make it out an alligator? What say you, is this something you can do?"
OOC:
Stryker intends to keep his bag of holding inside of an otherwise normal bag but well protected. The Quadanium special properties should provide some extra armoring, light weight and energy protection should it ever be exposed to such.
