Last night as I was riding my horse out of Riften to the west, heading to... can't remember the dwarven ruins name where you have to return the lexicon... anyways, I was heading west on the road riding along at a good clip when I spot a mage in the road. I jump off the horse and duck into the underbrush and ready an arrow. The mage spots the horse and starts shooting ice spikes. Can't loose another horse, so I start shooting arrows but the mage is quick and keeps ducking behind a tree. Thankfully the horse took that moment and ran off down the road a bit to wait. So, I'm readying another arrow and moving for a better shot, when out of the corner of my eye, two frost spiders are (seemingly) herded towards the mage by my follower who was smacking one of them on the arse with his axe. He ended up killing that spider but not before the two of them took out the mage. At this point, I just used the arrow I had notched and shot the last spider.
After I was done laughing... almost literally ROFL... I looked at the situation and realize what probably really happened is that I missed the spiders and road right on past them, but they saw me and started following me. Then the mage stepped out and I had decided to confront him. Since it's my habit to duck for cover as quick as possible, the spiders didn't see me and focused on the horse like the mage did. Then when I shot the mage the horse took off past the spiders, who now saw the mage. All the while my follower was catching up with me and behind the spiders trying to kill them.
All in all, it was just a very funny scene
