Fredas, 21st of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 5

Well, it’s time to head back to Riverwood and then on to Bleak Falls Barrow.

Just as a I reached the bridge to Riverwood I found a path that, if my map was true, would lead me to Bleak Falls Barrow.

God, that ride up the hill was cold, encountered a few bandits in some kind of outpost but they were no match for me.  At the top of the mountain at the entrance to the Barrow were a number more bandits. I can only guess that inside was going to be swarming with them. Its going to be good exercise.

I can only imagine what this place looked like before it fell to rack and ruin. It must have been a great hall with roaring fires, barrels of mead and great men singing great battle songs.  Now I know it was a temple, but still the vision of the great hall refuses to leave me. The views from up there were staggering, how I wish I could have seen it in the old times.  Instead it’s just a shell of a hall with the inside infested with bandits. How the mighty have fallen.

Turdas, 20th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 4

It’s a new day and I was determined to warn the local Jarl about the dragon threat to Riverwood. I spoke to the Jarl and he rewarded me for delivering the story of Helgen and charged me to find a tablet in Bleak Falls Barrow for his mage Farengar.

I decided to look round the Jarl’s house before leaving and I did some practice on his locked cabinets. I didn’t take much, just an Elven sword and a necklace, I do normally try to be good. Although I did find an unusual gem which I decided to get appraised.  So I’m not all good, but I only take from those who can afford to miss what I take, I do fight and defend those who need my sword. So after doing an errand or two I realised how late it was, so decided to get some sleep and head out first thing in the morning
