You take a closer look at the bottles. They look like they're empty, unfortunately. You're not sure how you paid for all those drinks. Things got a little hazy after whatever happened to get you here. Maybe it's an effect of thawing out. You do feel slightly under the weather.
This could still work, though! Maybe you don't have to set something on fire at all. Just create enough heat to melt the bottles. At least that could make it steamy? You decide it's better than just waiting around anyhow.
You concentrate with what you imagine is your best serious face possible. It's only then you realize you've never tried to melt something before. Set things on fire, sure; but melt not so much.
You keep trying anyway but get distracted when you hear a low rumbling sound, followed by some icicles dropping from the ceiling.
Gods, is the cave going to collapse?
You turn your attention back to the bottles, trying as hard as you can to get them to do something. Anything.
You could die in here! But, in your blacked out state you manageed to make it this far. So, you still have a chance. You're Katia Managan after all, right!? You can still do this.
You focus, bending the energy around the bottles. You're trying to make the air around it vibrate into a frenzy when you hear louder rumbling sounds.
Hurry hurry-hurry-hurry hurryhurryhurry.
Are you saying that out loud?
You see something bright appear out of the corner of your eye. Well, it looks like you got a fire going. You turn your attention to a few arrows going up in flames. The ice around the mammoth begins to thaw faster. That's not helping.
Well isn't that great. The ice near the mammoth is breaking apart. Did your voice cause that? You were better at saving your life when you were frozen.
Okay, Okay. Right. You can't lose hope. Someone could have heard you. You did scream like a baby. There's still time.
What if you could create flames around your body instead? That surely wouldn't make anything worse.
You hear more rumbling in the distance as you get focused. If you mess this up, you're toast. Literally.
You notice the flames you started before are making things a little warmer in the cavern. Also, it looks like the mammoth is nearly free.
What!?
It's looking at you. You smile Awkwardly at it, not wanting to offend it. If that's something you could do. Offend a mammoth. You'd just feel weird if you didn't. You get the feeling mammoths are more intelligent than they look.
What are you doing? It's fire time. You remind yourself to stay focused.
You somehow need to make flames surround you without burning you. You're pretty sure you've seen trained mages do this before. Maybe once. You try your best to visualize how it could happen.
You feel something! Yes! Things are suddenly warmer.
"I've got you. Hold on." Something says.
You look beside you and are surprised to see two figures behind a wall of fire. You're melting quickly. So you're saved!?
Awesome. You feel a little down that it wasn't your wizardly magic doing the saving. At least you won't die down here, though.
You fall free and try to stand up. Your foot is still caught.
"Uh, m-my foot. It's... haha." You say embarrassed. You tug at it, trying to pull it out. They probably figured you could manage this last bit on your own.
"What? Oh." You hear. The figures come closer. You make out a khajiit and a nord in heavy armor.
With one swift movement, you're pulled from the ice like it was nothing. Because, it was.
"This one is gracious, yes?" You hear the khajiit say.
You're set down on your feet, and are happy to know you can move again and that you're safe.
"Thank you!" You say to the both of them.
They begin to walk up a steep slope and you follow. You have no idea how to get out of here.
"This one is lore friendly." The khajiit says.
"What?" You ask.
"He just says that sometimes, not sure what his deal is." The nord replies.
"This one woke up in Riften jail. With a bad headache." The khajiit adds.
"What's lore? Like a story?" You ask.
"Jo'Rasha does not know this either." He finishes.
You figure Jo'Rasha must have had a hard bump to the head.
"So what's your name? I'm Katia-"
"I couldn't leave you down here." The Nord says. "I had to come back."
You're not sure what just happened. There was a khajiit and a nord? The khajiit was named Jo'rasha or something? Huh?
You must have- imagined it? What? Was it all a hallucination? Maybe this cave is, too. You've never seen a cave made completely of ice. It does look suspiciously like something out of a dream.
You wonder if something in the cave just caused a hallucination. Everything else feels pretty real, and you're starting to feel more alert. With all the melting ice and the lack of fresh air... That could have done it.
But that means, you managed to escape on your own somehow. Nice. You recall the flames that you assumed were being cast by the nord figure. Huh. Guess that was you.
You can't help but notice. In your dream state you had clothes. Why does this always happen?
Well, at least you still have underwear on. When you woke up you noticed all the bottles shamefully strewn about. Why did those remain but NOT my clothes?
You notice light up ahead and make your way towards it. You find a shirt that looks familiar. You put it on. Now it's just the problem of pants.
You hear a roar from behind you and turn. It looks like the mammoth escaped not long after you did.
Fortunately for you, it's too large to fit through the small hole you left out of. You're sure if it wasn't for that you'd be cat food. Mammoth food? Lame joke.
The mammoth angrily thrashes about, you figure you'd better hurry to the exit just in case.
Or you think it's the exit. What if that light leads to another cave. A brighter cave.
You exit and are greeted by a chilly wind. The sunlight is blinding. Everything is covered in snow. Where are you?
ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Be greeted by a robed figured climbing the mountain. He hands you his robe, revealing imperial armor underneath. The winds are too high and noisy to make out any words though. He points in a direction, and heads down a winding path that seems to go downwards.
Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Brenuceslu: Look around for anything, I'm sure there's bound to be a town close by! Just remember to find something to wear... ooh! Is that a chest over there? or is it your imagination playing tricks on you again...?
You shiver. You notice your fur is standing up a bit in places. You weren't aware your fur could do that unless you were scared. Well that's kind of cool.
You walk, feet falling deep into the snow. At least having fur is keeping you from freezing to death. You notice tall mountains behind you from where you came, and large glacial cliffs leading to a body of water up ahead. It's really quite beautiful. You almost forget you're pants-less and like totally, totally lost.
One thing is for sure. You're not in Cyrodiil. You couldn't be.
You notice something unusual in the distance. It looks like something made of wood. What could that be?
You head over to it quickly, hoping it's not another hallucination. There's bound to be someone around who can fill you in on all the details.
It looks like some kind of scaffolding. There's a chest lying in plain sight. It's probably locked, you assume. Your khajiiti desire to NOT STEAL but simply take a peek inside grows stronger as you approach.
What is this place?
You notice a wall carved in stone with designs you've never seen before. It looks ancient.
You sneak over to the chest and are surprised to find it's open. There are Septims inside.
Like, woah. Hold on.
11 Septims!
Who's just leaving their gold around like this!? You're really tempted to pocket the coins. It isn't like you wouldn't pay them back. You could toss 11 Septims back in here tomorrow, assuming you can find your way back here... You don't even have pants. You probably need the money more than whoever left it here. You assume no one is around, until you hear a voice from behind you.
ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Robed figure inspects chest, as he hid a stash up here. He takes our some small sized leather armor and hands it to Katia. You can hear him mutter something about the weather picking up, and getting off this mountain being a good idea. He points at the winding path and urges Katia to follow him.

Very adorable :3
Is that a mammoth tusk? You see the outline of a mammoth through thick ice, and a whole quiver of arrows thawing out around it.
Ice? Wait.
What?
You're frozen into a block of ice. Or is this deep inside a glacier?
Yeah, Glacier. You remain in the ice patiently waiting to thaw out. As if there was anything else you could do.
You're surprised you managed to survive being frozen solid. Is that something Khajiit can even do? You have no idea.
At least you'll thaw out before the mammoth does... Right?
