Last night on my Conjurer/Illusionist Mage (level 9) I was fumbling about in Riverwood talking to a few folks...just kinda messing around. Then, I see one NPC start running away madly. Next thing I know, I have taken a ton of damage from fire BEHIND ME. I turn around and look up a little, and there is a dragon that landed ontop of one of the Riverwood houses just staring at me. I quickly use a healing potion, and he doesn't attack. He's just sitting there staring at me. I move to my left, his head moves with me. I move to my right, he follows me with his eyes. I'm thinking WTF, this dragon is toying with me.

I thought about casting my fire atronach (sp?) but realized that it probably wouldn't do much good because it's a fire dragon (well atleast breathing fire..could have been something else too). I remembered that I had a Scroll of Storm Atronach. Pulled it out and casted it. My storm atronach whooped it's ass awesomely...couldn't believe it. I mean I fired a few bow shots but it was just a weak long bow or something. The Atronach did most of the work...was amazing.

The interesting thing about this story was that I was in Riverwood of all places minding my own business just chatting with a few locals, and the dragon found me somehow and did a sneaky fire breathing attack on my backside. Dragons don't play fair at all....

Just when you think you're safe in a town or city...you aren't. Love it...
