Not so much wtf, but rather a "wtf why this?!".
So I finally managed to get the second totem quest from Aela, and we arrived without too much trouble at the ancient Nord ruin Ansilvund. I'd already cleared it out once before, but it was a pretty long time ago so i didn't remember it much. The outside of the ruin already vaguely reminded me there had been an interesting quest going on the previous time. After advancing a bit in the ruin, I stumbled on familiar ground and finally recalled it had involved the quest with the necromancer wanting to resurrect her dead husband.
The ruin was now repopulated with necromancers again, but nothing both I and Aela couldn't handle. Aela did even better than I'd anticipated, I didn't even have to heal her so far. No, the enemies weren't a major problem. So we went on, progressing through the ruin, shooting down skeletons like bowling pins, hacking our way through the necros, wandering through the tight corridors; in short, nothing stood in our way. Nothing, except ...
"Click!" "Kazing!" "Argh!"
Confused, I turn around to see where the noise came from. Aela is crouching, trying to crawl her way back to me, as suddenly ...
"Click!" "Kazing!"
She gets hit by a second swinging axe, and managed to activate the swinging axes in front of us at the same time. I wince. Great. I forgot about the sh*tload of traps lined up in this ruin. Fortunately, I knew you could deactivate these axes by falling back a bit and pulling a lever.
In the end, it was still very hard to make Aela not walk over the pressure plates, but alas, nothing is impossible. Satisfied over myself, I push through with a very alive Companion.
Now, you've got to realize this was still only at the middle of the dungeon. A nice single trail road was waiting for us, high up in the air, completely covered with delicious traps like swinging spiked fences and pressure plates with fire holes in them ...
So, my reaction: Y TA F.CK U LEAD US TO DIS RUIN?! *insert rage face*
SO Rustlief, the Smith in Dawnstar died during a Dragon attack the other day.
So instead of his pregnant, widowed wife getting the inheritance (she lived, btw...), the Jarl awards it to me? O.o
It's only a part of his whole inheritance, I assume. Most of it probably went to his family. It would be strange otherwise.
