In other news, Argis sure is a mean SOB.

Last night I picked up a Staff of Paralysis somewhere and being on a bit of a magic kick *and* traveling with the aforementioned 3rd Skyrim Panzer Division which pretty much takes care of all your close action needs, I decided to equip it with my shield instead of the usual sword just for gits and shiggles. I have some other staves on hand but hadn't tried this variation at all.

So we run into this group of Imperials with one Cloaker prisoner outside of Winterhold, I don't know if it's because I've just been running up and freeing the prisoners lately or what, but now when we encounter them they aren't marching along quietly any more but usually the Cloaker is trying to escape and they are all fighting him and the Imperials are immediately hostile once we get close enough. Sadly they killed the Cloaker before we could intervene but Argis got two of them meanwhile I finally get a good hit with the staff on the third Imperial who is an archer and dodging around all over the place.

So he goes down flat on the ground and stays there. Argis finishes up his hack and slash and turns around and... fires an arrow right into the guy. From, like, three feet away.

He didn't even have time to get up before he got a second arrow which finished him off.

We were on our way to get some staff for Enthir so he would give me something I needed to get for Arniel and when we finally got to the designated location there was a magic-type female outside the entrance who started attacking as soon as we revealed ourselves. I had my bow equipped but I never even got a shot in cuz Argis plowed right past me and I don't think he even got her with a weapon, all I saw him do was bash her three times with his shield. She went into the "ow I'm hurt bad" kneeling posture and he just stands there until she gets back up at which point he smacks her *again* with the shield and that was all she wrote.

I've never seen anyone killed with a series of shield bashes before. Argis is getting some really awesome enchanted Dragonplate armor tonight as a reward. I think I even found a red/black retex for it so he matches up nicely to my Daedric set.
