So, my Riverwood fell under attack recently... by a dragon. Or more like four dragons, since the first one called for reinforcements (mod) and got three. For the first time ever in over 2000 hours all three reinforcements stayed until they got killed.
One of the dragons was particularly nasty, as it kept using Storm Call (Deadly Dragons users will know the species). The three other didn't have elemental attacks, but they used a super-powered version of Unrelenting Force, and a paralyzing Shout. Add to that their other abilities and everything DCO decided to throw at us... let's just say that if it wasn't for "Run for Your Lives", Riverwood would be a ghost town. Only Delphine, Orgnar, Ralof, the kids and possibly the Valerius siblings would be alive.
Pics or it didn't happen? Well, here you go:
I spent most of my time at Alvor's smithy; it provided sufficient cover and was a literal life-saver.
After the battle finally ended, I spent quite some time searching for the guards' bodies, as I wanted to honour them. I only found two, and dropped all my 100 blue (colour mattered here) mountain flowers around them:
Riverwood post-battle (the blue meter is just Frostfall doing its thing):
Export of the heartfelt "In Memoriam" I wrote in my in-game journal (my English is not perfect):
Has your Skyrim fallen victim to such tragedies? And am I the only one who gets really emotional over in-game events?

In Memoriam
The brave Stormcloak guards of Riverwood. You fought valiantly, heroically and until the very end. No one could have done better than you did. And no Nord could have left this world in a more glorious way. Four dragons would be too much for anyone; just one dragon would be way more than most could take.
I will personally make sure you're never forgotten.
Do enjoy the glories of Sovngarde; you've certainly earned it. I may see you there one day, but even I won't, you will stay in my memories. Forever.
