Also, love your guy;s stories, but running from guards is getting a bit old. =P
Hmm you are right.
So there I was in the frozen north. I forget why I was up there and what I was doing. I do remember fighting a dragon and barely killing it... after several deaths. With my potions depeleted I backtracked to the Sightless Pit...
You see I have heard stories of this place. The evils that lurked within. Of course I always thought it was pitch black in there... hence the whole Sightless Pit thing. But I did know that once I jumped there was no turning back. In the back of my mind I also knew I didn't have any potions left.
I jumped down. Looked cool and I started to explore. I think there were some dead bandits or something. Gotta admit that first hallway to the Dwarven place is very very cool. Not sure about everyone else but it felt like I was walking on the wall. Which led to my first death. Thinking I am defying gravity and what not I decide to walk right off the ledge.
I knew better this time and I did a quick save at the ledge. Guess what? A Falmer decided to show up. Son of a... now you remember that part about running out of potions after fighting a dragon? yeah. I am in an old dwarven ruin with a hordes of Falmer running about and without a healing potion to my name. At least if I did have some they wouldn't have helped much.
Now I don't remember where my last autosave was but I suppose I wasn't for awhile and I just over wrote my quicksave after beating the dragon, just before entering.
Now whenever I see a dwarven ruin I usually know two things. 1) Falmer are lurking about and 2) This is going to be a long dungeon. I had never done this place before so I had no idea how long it was.
At first I thought I could carefully fight my way through. Sneak attacks with my bow. Well that didn't quite work out. Luckily I had some shrouded boots on and my sneak was good enough to sneak past them. So I slowly made my way through this hell.
Then I came across the giant spider. Sneaking past it wasn't much of an option. He kept seeing me. I tried fighting the spider and the falmer but that proved disasterous.
Luckily I had some invisiblity potions... if not I was prepared to just run like hell and pray the exit was near. The potion worked. I knew there was a reason I keep picking them up.
I can't remember much else except the end.
Once I got to the elevator I looked around for the Big Chest and couldn't find it(I forget that the Dwarves use different types of chests) but I did see some Falmer and some spiders. I saved at the exit and decided to try and beat them.
I almost killed them all but in the end I just couldn't beat them all. I did however rediscovered waht the Dwarven Big Chest looks like and decided to sneak up and see what was inside. Of course without having actually beaten the final enemies I left the loot behind. Somehow it just didn't feel right in stealing it. Then I pulled the elevator lever...
I made it! I had escaped!
Of course... I wouldn't even want to imagine what would have happened if that Elevator was to go down instead of up.
