So I'd left riften to get some Ingrediants, not two minuets later I heard the sound of fighting.
I turned around and ONE riften guard had killed a Stormcloak prisoner, and two imperial soldiers.
As I ran over, she impaled the third with her claymore.

She'd killed three soldiers by herself
The best part is, with four bodies around her, she said 'Riftens under my protection, you watch yourself' ??

I'm thinking she took an arrow to a different part of her body, that would explain why she's so angry.

That's one tough guard, but yesterday i exited to the balcony of Reachwind Eyrie, and noticed a dead sabrecat and a goat casually walking away from it. I decided not investigate further

Well,until its only an arrow....

You sir, are lucky to be alive.

I got ambushed by a pack of goats one time. I'm serious. They wrecked me. They were doing damage to me like power attacks with warhammers and I kept getting staggered. I barely managed to get away by jumping into the river and swimming for it. As I swam I heard one call out to me "You won't leave Skyrim alive!" "Goat" was the subtitle head too.

On PS3 so obviously no mods, so it's probably just an insane glitch. But ever since then, I always use Detect Life whenever I see a goat to scan for its friends, use Become Ethereal, and run like Hell.

^ I laughed.

Couldve been a sprigan, and then a npc getting involved.

but it's skyrim, so in all fairness it wouldn't surprise me.
Crazy game.

Goats creep me out anyway, ever noticed how they're usually about forsworn camps?
I think there's some satanic sh!t going on there...

Right after I'd taken Riften for the Imperials, I fast travelled to the Riften Stables and saw an Imperial Soldier fighting a lone Riften guard. The Imperial soldier won, and then proceded to guard the gate.

That reminds me: yesterday a thief tried to rob me, i succesfully took the persuade option. This happened near the Blind Cliff Cave at the Reach. He started running along the road and since i was heading to Markarth i followed him. He kept running until we came to the mine, where he decided it was time to feed the chickens

Exactly, forsworns are totally out of their mind - they mess with Hagravens too -and i don't dare to imagine more on this "friendship"

Magic/archery killcams on goats and foxes are the most fun,however

Was attacked by a Fox and a Deer once. They dealt serious damage.

There's a bridge in the Reach were once you cross it for the first time 3 goats are found running away, if you look under the bridge you'll find a dead troll. Reference, anyone?

No way! I shall search for this bridge

I knew about this bridge but I have never found it or noticed the goats, even after 9 or 10 toons still have not found said bridge Would be nice to show up just as their killing the troll, would make for a good show me thinks

Went to one of the Orc Stronghold (the one you take the Malacath quest) with the attacking Giant at the gate. I helped them kill the giant when I notice more red dots appear. Next thing I know we get swarmed by 2 goats, 3 spiders and 1 elk. They destroyed the orcs and left me running for my life. was funny as hell man.

They dont kill the troll, its preplaced in a dead state under the bridge. If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't even really notice the encounter it as the 3 goats just kind of look like... well, 3 goats, and you have to go looking for the troll. If Im not mistaken, its in the southern parts of the Reach.

cheers mate, that's prob why I missed it then. Never really pay attention to the goats unless their in my way or pissing me off

Lovely scene.
Its these lil random sandbox moments that makes me really feel that the world is very alive.

No sweat mate. Here, I took this pic on my iPad interactive map and circled the 2 bridges that are the one in question. I would try the southernmost bridge first. Good luck!

Go get 'em, champ!

LOL, I would get in sooOOooo much trouble for abusing that power

How`s about a dragon under the influence of a spriggan? Just remembered, while I was doing my usual " walk about " last night I happened upon a dragon that was covered in the green markings that are found on an animal under the control of a spriggan. There was no spriggan in sight, nor was there a corpse of one? The dragon was docile as well until I attack it first, and even then it refused to take flight, it stayed on the ground the entire time Is it possible that, that dragon attacked a spriggan somewhere else and was captured by the spriggan? And if so how long does the effect last after the spriggan in question died?

Where did you get that map. Sure would help me out a lot. Getting tiered of adventuring up a hill just to find out it's a dead end.

The plain map is free and has the main holds, but its $10.00 if you want all the tidbits which tells you where everything is. I wish I had it when I started the game!

On iPhone it would be kinda small and lame, but on iPad it is beautiful to have next to you during play.

Or sure, my american history teacher wen to iceland and said that they say that if you are walking and you see a pile of bones, i's the goats that kill people. or something like, either way he said that the goats of iceland are deadly! then again he was crazy... but after your story i can see the truth!

It mustve been the billy goats gruff easter eggs, they are the only ones who've ever attacked me.
