So, I'm in FalkReath, I just come out of the Jarl's Longhouse, and down swoops a Frost Dragon! Some of the people scatter, such as children. I valiantly challenge the Dragon with my sword and fire spells, assisted by some town-gaurds. That's ok, it makes sense that a brave Nordic warrior would die to protect his people, but then suddenly, an old grandma, as well as a couple of women get in my way as I"m striking the beast down. This grandma's TOUGH! Using her fist to pummel it into submission, however, my sword accidently cuts her, and suddenly I have a 1,000 Septim bounty. :/

Ok, so reload, the same thing happens, except this time I strike a guard. I immediately receive a 40 Septim boun ty for accidently hitting him with my sword, but apparently Law and Order in these parts are a tad less insane than other parts of Skyrim, because as the gaurds surround me, I sheathe my sword and they go back to fighting the Dragon. (That's actually the only intelligent thing I"ve seen the AI do other than some fights with Giants) I learned later that a 40 Septim bounty is easily payable, and I finally pay the small fine and leave Falkreath. That's what I get for saving a village.

On the other hand, selling the Dragon Bones and Scales more than made up for the fine, so I"m all happy with it.
