» Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:43 pm Staying mounted, I kited him to Kynesgrove, where the guard started firing arrows at Talsgar. Soon they were wailing on each other. Talsgar is not a man of honor. Often he'd say he yielded, only to attack immediately. The contest went back and forth for a bit, but as soon as Talsgar took a knee, the guard would return to his beat. Eventually, I got Talsgar's attention, and kited him to Windhelm Stables. All the way he was taunting me, "Call yourself a true Nord? Nords never run away! Victory or Sovngarde!" and so on.
Well, it was late and the stables were closed, but Talsgar got the attention of the guards. The fight ranged from the stables to the main gate of Windhelm, and back again. I dismounted and went into town. Warming herself at the fire outside the inn was Silda the Unseen, who said, "Somebody please help." A guard drew his bow and cautiously approached the gate. Rolff Stone-fist said somebody should do something. Coward. The guard went outside, and I followed to see how things were going. There were as many as six guards on Talsgar's case, which meant he'd go down fairly quickly, then they'd get out their torches and resume their patrols. But then he'd come roaring back. My horse had stationed itself near the stables, and Talsgar may have attacked it. All I know is that in addition to the half-dozen guards, there were now three horses in the fray as well! Even Alfarinn came outside to see what was happening.
What happened next is unclear to me. Talsgar may have taken a critical hit. I think he's below the bridge abutment, across from the stables. I'll have to look when daylight is available. All I know is that the guards returned to their duty, the horses went back to the stables, and Alfarinn went back to bed. That last was a good thing, as I had to break into his strongbox at the behest of Vex.
