As the title hints, this thread is about encounters in Skyrim, and mainly about YOUR encounters in Skyrim.
Post(and discuss about) about funny/interesting/awesome encounters you've had while playing Skyrim, be it with humans or mudcrabs ;D
Although I'd rather you focus on encounters with dragons, other creatures such as Trolls could be equally interesting!
You can post about as many tales as you want, remember though that some doesn't read if it is Caliburn quantity, so post many posts instead of one loooooong post.

This thread will contain spoilers on Skyrim, beware

Me first(played at master lvl):
This story is about when I found myself fast travelling to a mountain because it was the closest location to where I really were going. It was to one of those dragon head symbols you see on the map, and there I went.
I walked towards an old keep, then to my right I hear the sound of a dragon, thinking, because I had already cleared that area, that I wouldn't meet a dragon there ever again, then I realised that dragons don't follow my stupid rules about where they should be or not.
I panicked a little and ran into the keep, safe from its fires, which kills you easily when you're only lvl 20 and plays at master lvl.. So, I do what I usually do, let my flame atronach fight for me and divert attention while I fire arrows and destruction spells like a madman. It wouldn't be wrong to say that it is the atronach, not me, who is fighting, because it's stronger than me anyway, we both know that... It all goes well, I aim some shouts and well placed arrows, then the dragon takes off, still more than half of its life left, and returns with full life!!
After a while I realise how I am now fighting two dragons, who simultaneously fights me, dropping down one at a time. Shortly after, both dragons head towards the top of the mountain, leaving me with my atronach, still firing those firebolts. I see how they both breathes fire at the mountain top and it's obvious they found something more interesting, a helpless cave bear I noticed when climbing the mountain.
After long minutes of torturing the cave bear and me, I finally slayed the dragons! When it was all over I barely remembered what I had been coming there for initially, but remembered when I checked my quests again, and took off.
That was the most awesome encounter with dragons I've had so far, tell me about yours~

Sorry, this became a semi-wall in the end anyways, I'll try to keep it shorter(///_.)..

Now tell about your encounters!

Off Topic: Isn't it annoying as hell that the game has to load so much when you're entering buildings? jesus!

anyway, i didn't know dragons can score critical hits and get the cool cut scene, until the time i was fighting one and it came down and bit my head and swung my body off a mountain by the sky haven temple. oh man

I got an arrow to the knee so I retired.
*shoots you in the knee* Elaborate:cool:

hmm one time when i was walking from the castle, i went by the tall people with the mammanoth. To see what they do and they just killed me for no reason :(
Yeah, they attack if you get too closexd

@burritoman: It takes some time, but I simply scratch my butt when it loads, a nice way to spend that minute ;D
Yes, I noticed that as well when I fought a dragon and decided it would be cooler to fight it with a sword instead of with my bow. I ended up the same way, it was still cool thoughxd

That's not nice?
No, they are cautious and will attack if you get too close, just how the game has it~

Someone tried to rob me while I was in my Werewolf form. It went something like this.

Thief: Alright here's how it's gonna go. Give me all your valuables or else I'll gut you like a fis- OMGF GOD NOT THE LIMBS!! NOT THE LIMBS! AAAAAAAH SOMEBODY HELP!!!

Well when I was first starting the game I wandered around everywhere as a really low level character, maybe 5 or 6. So I got killed by giants for my first death and flew 100 feet into the air, as I was in the air I saw one of the dragon burial locations (although I didn't know what it was at the time only being lv 5 and not having done any quests except Helgen and killing the first dragon)

So I went to the dragon burial site and started exploring it, turns out that was a terrible decision. I had unwittingly stumbled on the site where Krosis was and as I was fighting him the dragon flew off his perch and started attacking me as well. So there I was, lv 5 fighting a dragon priest and a dragon at the same time. I obviously died, but I just kept going back because I thought that Skyrim was just super hard because they wouldn't give me high level enemies at such a low level.

Eventually I beat them, but it was the longest battle ever. Every time I took a hit I had to hide and cast healing spells on me. I hid behind the rocks near the mountain to take out the dragon, and as for Krosis I found out if you walk further up the mountain to where he can see you but can't reach you, he can only shoot spells but he won't dodge. So it took forever but I took them both down.


Now however I am the highest level you can be in the game because I have logged 226 hours on it. I can probably fight 3 dragons and win, because all my skills are maxed out except two handed and heavy armor.

Ok my next encounter from when I had a bounty to earn!
I was heading towards a dragon to slay it and collect my bounty afterwards, think it was from someone in Markarth. That time I had to pass through a village and of course, a dragon has to show up. Now, the best part with this is what happens during the killing the dragon, and afterwards.
I enter the village, and you get to see how two groups, the ones who live there and sellswords, argue about some forsworn having taken over the mine the villagers work in and whether they should help or not.
While they were talking, a dragon swoops down on us. Me, standing on a big rock. The villagers and sellswords, still talking and being burnt to a crisp by the dragon having landed right next to themxd
Now then, I always use my beloved flame atronach when fighting since it is good for averting attention, but it is not always the correct attention it diverts.. It turns out that it mistakenly fired a firebolt at a villager, and now I'm fighting a dragon AND the villagers. I didn't notice at first, but when a villager was cutting away at me instead of at the dragon, it all became clearxd
After slaying the dragon and finishing my bounty with another dragon, I return to Markath only to pay 1040 septim for having "killed" villagers. I never did, it was my atronach, but how do I explain that to the guards:shrug:

A bounty collector ran up to me during a dragon fight and dragon roasted him as if he was pissed cause our fight was interupted
What a selfish dragon!:rolleyes: Poor bounty collector tho'xd

Haha!xd I haven't met with Krosis yet, but now that you tell about him, I'm anticipating the fight with expectations!

Oh how I love healing spells, at master lvl it is your best friend when fighting dragons, they don't depend on quantity as does healing potions etc., and you get to train in magic while you're at it! Nice that you get to meet such an awesome dragon except Alduin(something who was in Helgen) right of the bat!
Can't wait to get to the highest lvl! Thanks for sharing!

Ok, gotta get back to Skryim now, see ya later guysxd

Yeah no problem, if anyone ever needs help or has a question about Skyrim I can probably answer it. Or Google can.

If you want to fight Krosis he is in the mountains right below Whiterun. The closest dragon burial site to fellglow keep (left side and down slightly on the map) is where he is. Be wary though, dragon priests are tough enough without having to contend with a dragon.


To the other person who has a level 81, what armor rating do you have, and how much base power does your favorite weapon have?
