Skyrim Stories

I recently went through quite an amazing encounter in skyrim which inspired me to start this thread. It starts like this, I was walking through dreary old Morthal (where nothing of interest really happens) while on my way to Ustengrav. After resting in the local tavern I headed out one quiet morning to continue my venture. Some of the children were running about playing tag, and the other villagers were either working or shopping. When just then a guard shouted out, "By the Gods, dragon! Everyone inside NOW!" I looked around and noticed the villagers taking heed to the guards orders and rushed into their respective dwellings. Then I turned my eyes towards the sky and saw not one but two ferocious lizards in the heavens. One of them was a baseline dragon and the other was a blood dragon. At level 18 this frightened me as how could I defeat two of the beasts at once?! Luckily, the normal dragon fled either because of his brother or because he knew better. But the blood dragon, lacking the cowardice of his brother decided to swoop down and attack the town! The battle raged for several minutes between the Hold guards, Erik the Slayer and I vs the dragon. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgDQ8OMUYNg[/url] After sustaining some casualties and Erik was knocked down and the dragon at a little less than half of his health, he decided to cancel his attack and retreat. He flew towards the snowy forest near the border of the town. I tried to chase after the serpent but obviously wings travel faster than legs and I lost track of him in the blizzard that rolled in. I had thought I was victorious, when suddenly... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFfIEenip_A]BAM![/url] The drake decided to return to face me one on one! We then duked it out on top of the ridge on the outskirts of Morthal, his voice against my own, his gaping maw against the blade of my dwarven greatsword. The battle was damn near epic proportions! I hacked and slashed as the foul worm sought to char my skin black with his fire breath. He took to the skies one last time and landed in the village near the Jarl's long house. I ran to the edge of the ridge overlooking the town with the dragon just down below, put away my spells of healing, jumped down to face him once again, pulled out my greatsword and made one final charge. The dragon had been defeated and his soul was now mine. I put away the greatsword then continued to ustengrav as the villagers ran out to gaze upon the beast that once terrified them. My friends these types of experiences are what make the elder scrolls games so great, I can't really say any other game has compelled me to write a story about my own struggles within the game. I am very eager to hear some of the tales you guys are willing to share about Skyrim.

    • When I had started the game, I neglected to do the main quest for a bit. I was leveling up so I could have enough magicka to summon a Flame Atronach and get into the College of Winterhold. The story happens on my way back to the college. I remember having bought a horse so I could avoid the bears and other wildlife, and just get back sooner because I don't fast travel. I rode over to an abandoned fort at the end of a valley and my first dragon came to attack me. My horse ran off as I took shelter. I spend the next twenty minutes fighting the dragon. I summoned my Flame Atronach for extra *ahem* firepower and finally killed the dragon and absorbed its soul. I had used up all of my potions trying to stay alive. I go looking for my horse, and the poor thing had died just around some rocks. I felt bad, because I felt like I could have saved it, but there was nothing I could have done with that dragon around. That Frost-lookalike was the first of many horses to die under my ownership :(

      • I remember on my way to the throat of the world i was low level and had no health potions. Crappy gear too. Anyways, i ran into a frost troll and a dragon so i ran through and hid behind a rock and let the troll and dragon fight it out a bit so it would be easier for me. The troll finally died and the dragon charged at me with his fire Breath and i sliced him in the Chest with my glass sword and it lowered his health down so that the next shot would be a death blow... So the he was charging at me again and i shot him with my bow and his dead body fell from the sky and slid across the snow next to me. I collected his soul and journeyed onwards, then realising the troll had a friend and he pummeled me and killed me with one hit and i feel off of the mountain.

      • I stand on the highest peak nearest Riften. I come here often to harvest dragon bone and scale but today the word wall has no defender to roost upon it. The smoldering buildings of an abandoned mining outfit sit quietly as I flex my shoulders my Ebony armor tightens. I have great knowledge honed from the memories of other lives that I have lived before. A High Elf. A Orc all powerful in their own rights but I am the strongest so far and I have made use of their trials. Alchemy and it's patient theory of trial and error has led me to create enchanted armor and weapons adventures and heroes will seek for millennium long after I have perished. I smile since I am certain my undead form deep in some crypt will kill them all unless they are fated by the gods to obtain my efforts. And even then they will find ruin waiting. I flex my Argonian legs and begin my run for the ledge of the cliff. I jump into the air wothout fear and fall hundreds of feet to the side of the mountain. Unhurt from the impact I still grunt in discomfort as my muscles rip in two, bones shatter, and yet are instantly healed by the might of the enchantments I placed upon my chest armor. I laugh as I hurl myself into another free fall spanning four hundred feet as I crash through trees and snow landing easily. My healing is instantaneous as bolt forward again to leap the final ninety feet to the road below. I land to the surprise of a lone fox who scurries away from the black armored image standing before it. I turn to look up and marvel at the heights of the mountain. Turning back I begin my long run towards Windhelm. My Egg Brothers and Sisters labor exposed to the freezing elements as the smooth skins mock them. Soon enough I'll burn their Jarl into powder. Soon enough I'll set fire to their ancient city and cleanse its streets of rebels. But first we must gather more ingredient from the Elf. His proposition to find the White Phial is tempting and such an object of power would be better in my hands than his. Old and feeble he may be but the coin he has will eventually find a way. Best that it be me who procures it first.

      • I was talking to a stable guy outside Windhelm, I asked him if he was afraid if the dragons returning. He replies: "If the gods say my fate is too be eaten by a dragon, then so be it." Just then I hear the roar of a dragon and he swoops down and burns the stable keeper. I lol'd so hard.

Im so lazy.

            • I was fighting a frost dragon on a lonely mountain. I was a mage/Archer guy at level 30, but at master difficulty. The dragon was on the ground, breathing frost at me while I was behind a rock. I was going to keep peeking out at him and shoot arrows, but then I heard the music. I realized that I am DRAGONBORN!!! So I Took out Wuuthrad, and charged. I was never so happy to be killing a dragon.

            • I had recently started a theif character and was about level 25, but I had neglected to level up my combat skills much so I was really weak. I was right outside Riften and my first group of Hired thugs attacked me. I didn't gave any way of beating them so I was just going to run away. I ran past a farm (the guards there didn't help for some reason) and a little past that I ran into some trolls. A plan started forming. I lured the trolls back towards the farm so I could get them to fight the thugs for me, along with the guards (maybe) It was going pretty well... until the dragon swooped down and killed the guards. At that point the thugs were already dead so I just had to try to kill the dragon and trolls by myself. The trolls died first and then I managed to finish off the dragon. Needless to say that was the epicest Sky rim battle I've ever had.

            • Was his walking along when a glowing green tiger and bear attacked me. I ran since they were kicking my ass and then I found the thing controlling them. So tree-like monster which also was kicking my ass so I ran again and the tiger killed me by biting my bruised ass.

            • So I was going to Solstheim to do the Dragonborn DLC for the first time. As soon as the loading screen ended and I could move I turned around and looked at Morrowind, saved, quit, and started playing Morrowind instead.

              • I have just bought the DLC's and started playing a new game. After buying the Harthfire DLC I got kids and built a home. Being also a part of the Dawnguard, vampires usually attacked. Occasionally giants try to attack your home too. Also dragons sometimes swoop in and attack the house. On top of all that I had hired thugs on me from "accidentally" killing someone important. For SOME REASON, the game decided that I'm tough enough to handle [b]ALL[/b] of these foes, [b]AT ONCE[/b]! The dragon starts to clear out the thugs and vampires as they try killing my kids. One vampire in particular goes for my daughter and I run in the way of the vampires health drain spell o save my daughter. As I turn I see my son trying to take on the troll with a wooden sword I gifted to him. I couldn't run back In time. I see the giant wind up his club and I know I won't be able to save him this time. Just as I think it's all over for my son, the dragon swoops down ad kills the giant for me. The dragon save my sons life! I look back to after I tell my son to go inside, and don't see any sign of the dragon anymore. I can see the red dot indicting an enemy is slowly fading away. That's the story of the time a dragon save my son.

              • One time when I was doing the Dark Brotherhood quest to kill the emperor a Legendary Dragon attacked the Katariah. The battle was a massive 3-way between me and Serana, the Penitus Occulatus, and the dragon flying around and spewing fire all over the decks. The battle was like nothing I had seen before. Fighting dragons aboard a ship is epic.

              • I exited the dark brotherhood sanctuary near falkreath. A frost dragon landed in front of me Then a group of thugs appeared of thin air Then a frost troll came running at me from about 20 meters up the path Then a blood dragon swooped down and attacked me Then some falkreath guards started attacking me I'm not ashamed to admit i ran away at first. Then once clear of the mass of enemies i ran back in there swinging my 2 daedric war axes like a mother -blam!-er. Used my Beserk rage to help. They all died. Wish i had a way to film it as it was one of those what the -blam!- moments

              • I wake up in the morning and take a jog to the mill. I go to chop the wood, but as I touch the lever, something tells me that danger is near. I hear a roar and peer into the sky. A Dragon. Not an ordinary Dragon, but an Elder Dragon! And to make matters worse, there are two. I know I cannot take on two at once, so I attempt to run into the mill before they can slaughter me. I grab the door and realize my mistake. I didn't have a key. I quickly ran for the woods. But it was to late. There was one behind me on each side. My left side is frozen, and my right is burned. And that, is how I died. But then all of the sudden I appeared in my room with my lovely wife (Alia The Huntress). And I figured it was just a dream.

              • I used to be on an Elder Scrolls forum before joining B.net and I used to write stories there. That was a lot of fun, but they weren't ever really that good. Some of them got quite long though.

                  • By having mjoll the lioness in your party with other followers some very interesting events occur that are scripted for her. Ex 1: I dropped a falmer bow i accidently picked up, Jenessa (the dark elf from the drunken huntsmen) begins to argue with mjoll in the middle of a falmer cave over who gets the bow, going as far to draw weapons on each other and square off. Ex 2: while rooting around through barrels for salt, she asked a dlc follower (voice acted by ysoloda char.) why i was rummaging around through trash. With the response from ysolda that I might find something useful, you never know.
