Spoilers, maybe? I don't actually know if this counts as a spoiler.
Accidentally mountain-hopped my way right up to a word wall, and my first thought was "oh hey, awesome!". I'd inadvertently skipped the entire dungeon one was meant to pass through to reach it.
...Then it turned out to be Volsung's word wall. I'd run into exactly one dragon priest before (and got slaughtered before I even really knew what was happening), and I'd heard stories of them, but that was it. I was about level 20 for this one and so I ran up and took a few swings. The lack of damage I dealt told me pretty much right away that I wasn't winning this fight, and I'd probably have to backtrack to my last save and take the long way around the mountain.
But I decided to take a shot at it and pulled out my Wabbajack. Volsung blasted my health to nearly nothing in the short time it took to draw it and charge it up, but the first shot turned him to ashes!
So here I am with a new word and a shiny mask all to myself.
