"You WILL back away!" she said fiercely, using her magic to assume control of several of the creatures, while she raised a Protego spell around herself, Vulpix and Sakura. "I am Eleanor Selwyn, the Spider Queen, and I will NOT have you threaten me or mine!" 1 in PL for an action;
10 (Ef) in Spider Queen (Vocationem Aranea, Summon and Control Spiders, Control one Spider/Swarm per AN regardless of Health) to take control of the ten closest of them as a demonstration of my power, and to have them keep the others - if there's more than 10 - at bay if they still persist.
7 in Social Skills (Persuade, Intimidate, The Selwyn Calamity) to get them to rethink their food choices.
5 (Ef) in Close Combat into defense. (Total ph.defense: 15)

You turn the horde against each other as ten spiders bite ten more leaving 4 left only to stop at the display of power.

Using the opportunity caused by the chaos and confusion her spell had brought upon the spiders, Eleanor grabbed Sakura and Vulpix and apparated away from the spiders so they could get away without needing to kill them.
"Lovely creatures, but not exactly friendly when starving. Protecting you would be difficult while fighting them, it's best to avoid them given the circumstances", she explained. 6 in Mobility Magic (Apparition) to teleport us out of there while the spiders are occupied/impressed/distracted. Only getting us a few hundred feet away from them, just getting away from them and out of their sight, preferably closer to the shrine.
7 in Thieving (Stealth) to get us somewhere out of sight from the spiders.

You manage to get to the Shrine with no problems.
It's a rather modest one for a Dark God if not for all the old rotten cheese sitting around having been left as tribute.

"Hmm... all rotten, huh? How about for a starting tribute... I restore all that cheese to its initial fresh state?" she pondered. "Except... say, two of them. Add a bit of chaos to the mix", she said with amusement, as she used a Transfiguration spell to make all the cheese fresh again... except for two of them. Just because she imagines a god of Chaos would enjoy this little touch.
12 (Ef) in Transfiguration (Inorganic Transfiguration) to turn all the cheese back into fresh cheese. Except for two, for additional little random touch.

"Who dares touch my precious cheese!" An old man in gawdy clothes yells sitting atop a nearby rock, fishing for something in some nearby bushes.

"I... did", Eleanor said honestly. "...I transformed all the cheese but two to make them fresh again. I thought this would please the Daedric Prince, Sheogorath", she explained.

"Well you. are. absolutely right." He said before tugging on his line, and pulling out of the bush-
A sabretoothed cat of some kind. "Oh boy! He's mighty pissed off now!" He called as the creature wrestled the rod from his grasp and turned on you growling and getting ready to pounce. "Careful! He hasn't had his shots yet!"

"Tarantallegra!" she let out, casting the Dancing Feet spell on the sabretoothed cat! 15 (Ef) in Combat Magic (Tarantallegra) into an Atk VS Dur + Magical Defense; deals no damage. If successful, the target creature's legs spasm wildly out of control as though it's dancing.
5 (Ef) in Close Combat into defense. (Total ph.defense: 15)

The creature practically runs around in a circle, and stumbles like a drunkard.
"Spoilsport. A simple jink like that takes all the fun out of it." The old man said snapping his fingers as the sabrecat turned into purple smoke. "So you want me to give you a Wabbajack don't ye? Well I don't give 'em out to just anybody. Unless they give me a fun time, or some cheese, or I just feel like it." He trailed off. "Anyway plead your case to me, and I'll see what I think." He said. "But first..."
In an instant you find yourself in the body of Rin-Chan!
"Meow." Your body says confused as all hell.

Eleanor/Rin-Chan?
"R-Roowwrr?" she asked as she glanced where her body was standing a moment ago.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Come on girl, plead your bloody case." He said.

Eleanor/Rin-Chan
Whether or not she was able to speak, she tried 'pleading her bloody case', even if she had to meow it. She saw no reason to lie to the god, nor was it smart to do so; it was very likely that he would see through the deception, if his power was as incredible as the old tomes described him. So she simply decided to be honest and tell the truth.
"Simply put... I wish to create the ultimate, most powerful mage staff in existence. So I did plenty of research, to finally come to the conclusion that such a staff, as far as I can tell, would be made out of three components. One... a device known as a Cosmic Cube, which to some extent warps reality according to the will of its user. Two... the feathers of a phoenix, which apparently would significantly boost the power and potential of the resulting staff if used as a focus. And finally, three... your artifact, the Wabbajack, used as the shaft for the staff", she explained. "...Those three, used together, would, according to my research, combine into the strongest staff I could possibly assemble, as far as I can tell."
She nodded. "...Of course, I imagine few gods would be thrilled at the thought of their own artifact being altered or used for another purpose than their creator's original intentions. However, your power is unmatched among the Princes, or so I'm told, so on one hand, it was worth the risk... and on the other, if any god is somewhat likely to accept such an outlandish request... I figured it would be the god of Madness and Chaos himself. Which is why I came to you, as opposed to any other prince, including others whose artifacts were also staves", she concluded. "Also... it is worth mentioning that if I'm right and this works... your artifact will turn into something that will completely leave your rivals' artifact in the dust... so there's something to gain from this for you as well." 7 in Social Skills (Persuade) to 'plead her bloody case'.

You meow and meow over and over.
"Okay, you make a strong case." He snaps his fingers as you find yourself back in your body. "However. If you want the Wannajack. You must first do something for me." He said. "I need shoes. Steal for me the shoes of every fair maiden in Riften, and I shall grant you my Wabbajack!"

"'Fair' is... quite subjective. Or do you mean, fair in my opinion?" she asked, just to be sure.
