Hi everyone.

I am in Falkreath trying to complete the Yarl's request to help his people, but I am having issues. I came to the city after doing various other quests only to find Mathies, Solaf, Indara Caerellia and Runil laying dead outside the door of Corpselight farm. Right now as I am typing this, a guard came to kneel by the bodies too. I would say they were randomly killed by a dragon, but they are all laying in such close proximity to eachother that I don't think it was a dragon...Now I cannot begin the quest with Mathies...

Anyone else having issues like this? I tried to re-animate them just in case it was a funny glitch, but it didn't work. Had to restore to a previous save so they didn't all turn to ash piles. Haha.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could very possibly be a random dragon attack that killed them with fly by breath attacks while they were in close proximity to one another. I to had issues with my first character in falkreath, until I found out that "helping" the farmer by picking crops and then selling them to him counts as helping. I did that, the quest to find the missing hunting party and iirc one for the potion shop owner.

I will definitely see about helping the farmer. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the shop owner is one of the dead bodies...
