Skyrim Story II: Escalation
Posted on August 13th, 2012 in games, in English, nonsense, personal | No Comments »
After mastering my “home turf” at Woodland Home in the previous post, I took my Nord “multi-role” for another spin. This time we met a bunch of civil war combatants (Imperials vs Stormcloaks) fighting each other near Redoran’s Retreat. Since my doctrine is to “unify Skyrim my own way, one troop at a time”, I went ahead and Fireballed both sides, prompting them to go after me.
A minute into the fight I realized there were too many Stormcloaks than I could handle. I decided to run away to the nearby bandit-owned Silent Moons Camp. While the name says it’s a camp, it’s a stairtop forge facility with moderate bandit garrison. Hoping for Stormcloaks and the bandits to slaughter each other. I knew the Stormcloaks would win, but this will give me some breathing room.
My break ended when I heard a dragon’s cry. My duties as the Dragonborn forced me to come out and slay the dragon, whatever means necessary. The situation escalated quickly when two mammoths entered the battle area. I did what I have to do: kill them all. Lacking proper rage spells, I shot more fireballs at the mammoths, prompting them to fight. After a lot of running and slashing, the dragon landed and relieved many Stormcloaks of their heads before succumbing to combined forces of swords, spells, and stampede. The dragon died, and I killed all the weakened loose ends.
Result of battle:
- Imperial units routed
- Stormcloak rebels suffered too much loss due to dragon attack and had to leave
- One dragon and two mammoths slain
- Silent Moons bandit camp nearby suffered heavy collateral damage, no survivors
- Someone just got a hell a lot richer
Now I try embedding an album from imgur, too.
