OK, so I was leaving Whiterun to go see the Greybeards and suddenly I am rushed by threee skeletons in broad daylight. I fight them off and encounter a dead mage (can't recall his name) who have some nice magic robes and stuff. What the hell?

I just loot him and sell the gear for some really nice cash this early in the game. Has this happened any one else? And what are skeletons doing running around in the open during mid day?

Ooops, wrong forum. Sorry!
