Best glitch and cinematic scene I've seen thus far!

So I'll get right into this. I murdered Nazeem in Whiterun (because I thought this would trigger a visit from the Dark Brotherhood and he's an incredibly annoying NPC) and of course someone figured out that I did and hired some thugs to teach me a lesson.

Well I was on my way to fulfill a side quest from Mara over at Gjukar's Monument. On my way there I encountered a saber cat and during the fight I realized I was being followed closely by four hired thugs. When I killed the cat they approached me and I prepared for combat. However no music started and they were quite close already. I ran for a bit from them, thinking I could drag them into battles since they initiated no dialogue (which they typically do before attacking). After a little distance they appeared to instead be following me instead of approaching me for dialogue. One was even looking over the dead saber cat. I attempted to talk to them but they just answered with short responses and continued to follow me into a random encounter which they battled! Hazzah!

With this army of 4 NPCs and my companion we raided the Forsworn lair of Fort Sungard.

The hired thugs destroyed the place with the Forsworn standing little chance! Upon combat with the last Forsworn perched on a wall letting off arrows at us, is when I got to see an awesome cinematic moment! One of the remaining hired thugs ran up the stairs to the level of the archer, and through a glitch that made it appear as though the hired though was jumping into the air, came down with his mace upon the Forsworn archer (with the backdrop of a perfectly captured sunset) knocking her off the wall and killing her in what appeared to be a perfectly coordinated martial arts strike, even leaping off the wall to follow her down.

I wish it could have been recorded. Best glitch and cinematic moment I've yet to witness in the game!
