The draugr boss in a cave near to where you start. I was level 3 but the boss and his 4 minions were DEADLY. So I ran away.

I forgot, however, that the hallway from which I entered had swinging axe traps all along it. So when I ran down the hallway, away from the draugrs, they followed and got chopped up by the axes.

I won the dungeon. xD

LOL yes! Using traps is hilarious, especially that pressure plate one with the swinging wall of spikes. I love how they're reusable too. I cleared a whole place of Stormcloaks by just luring them into one.

yeah that was the coolest discovery, seeing that traps auto-reset themselves so they can be reused. Awesome!
plus the pressure pads are really neatly hidden, at least in the draugr cave i was in.

There are swinging logs that are setup on a mechanical arm type thing and they reset also and they hit you in the back.

I run from a lot of things, as I'm not strong enough for face to face combat since I wear light armor and have one handed up to only around 35 (while stealth is around 52). There was one incident where I felt as if all hope was lost, and that I was surely going to die.

So, I was crossing the map to a point I had never been to: Riften. I was en route to kill the old hag from the orphanage, and of course I had to travel all the way there on foot because I had forgotten to steal a horse. Nevertheless, I was scaling an icy cold mountain because I couldn't be bothered with going around it, when I saw a grand sight. Right ahead of me was a Word Wall! As of this time typing this, I have only seen two word walls. The first one you see in an early storyline quest, and then another one found within the Dark Brotherhoods Sanctum. This new word wall had gotten me excited, since it was not only a powerful tool to have but it also was in a very aesthetically pleasing place. Snow everywhere, the wall on one of the peaks of the mountain I was scaling, and it even had a realistic looking dragon statue on top of it.

As I approached the wall, I noticed the dragon statue's tail was moving. Being the silly Khajiit I am, I thought it must be a flag on the back of the dragon sculpture. Of course it wasn't, and as I approached the wall the dragon came to life and I decided to try and kill it. I pulled out my Imperial Shortsword and took cover behind the wall as he blasted me with fire. This particular wall also had an undead sorcerer who specialized in conjuration magic, and summoned a frost golem thing to try and kill me. This was the point when I ran like hell.

Sheathing my sword I ran as fast as I could towards my objective marker on the compass, hoping to find some place with guards to help me fend off the threat of a dragon and sorcerer. I ran for 5 minutes straight, and picked up some mudcrabs, wolves, bears, skeletons, and angry civilians along the way (Who knew the act of murder made sure your name was known to everyone?). I got about half way to Riften before the dragon decided to kill everything that wasn't me, since it was easier to catch them. When I got to Riften, I ran inside the town walls and the dragon soon lost interest. I then proceeded to brutally kill an old lady in an orphanage in front of many children.

The end.

Oblivion was 400 hours and no deaths for me, this game is die and reload, die and reload. I am loving it!
Bandits never kicked my butt back in Cyrodiil. Here, they get me every night.

That will teach me to complain on the forums! Beth must be laughing.

So far, giants, this tiger thing I saw, and a mammoth. I thought mammoths were supposed to be non-violent?! I ended up running from Dawnstar to Solitude to try and get rid of the damn thing. I seem to be getting thrashed far too easily by bandits too. One on its own I can handle, maybe even two, but any more than that and I have to flee like a little kid. :facepalm:

This is a bit embarrising but my char right now is a level 10 and so far has been so unheroic that he has "avoided" (=fleed from) the following; dragons (at least 4, oh dear), a troll (that troll never got low on health), a giant (ok, my char didn't really understand that he ought to flee until it was too late, I admit), a Spriggan, plus one of those frostbite spiders out in the open.

He also had to escape a bunch of bandits where one used magic. Oh, and a necromancer in a tower. Yeah, not so very "dragonborn", those moments... but we'll see, they'll all pay...one day.

I have a new one I have ran from:

Wight Draugher.


These f-ing bastards dual weild magic and swords. And they have a spell ward on them so my magic user ain't getting close to him. My sneak assassin main character barely shaves damage of this guy. Then of course the other draughers have to come out too. They chased me. I also do the trap thing. It did crap to the Wight Draugher. And I was like f this. And ran out of the dungeon.

I feel so awesome as the Dovakhin right now. *rollseyes*
