*takes a bow*
Yep, Sigrun is probably in High Rock by now, having made a clean escape from Skyrim with nothing but the clothes and weapons on her back, a couple hundred filled soul gems, a sackful of health potions, and close to 120 million shiny gold septims. I decided she should go out with a bang and Markarth was the place to do it since being there almost always left a uniquely bad taste in my mouth.
Sadly it may also be the worst place in Skyrim to get screenshots of a dragon attacking a city.
Not enough open spaces and nowhere open and high enough that I could get to quick enough to get a really good view of the carnage. Also... Talos, being a god, tends to wipe out way too much of the opposition before Odahviing can even get there. I had to go outside the walls and wait for the guards around the stables to attack me just to give Odahviing something to do when he arrived. Really should have picked a different city with more guards and wide open spaces but... Markarth had it coming.
Then took off for Karthwarsten and called him back as soon as I was able, red dots straight ahead on the radar, guard patrol coming up the road, then a dragon roar, and he pulls up just over top of them and fries them with fire breath. By which time Talos has already plowed ahead into the fray and finishes off whatever's left. Nothing like having the wrath of the Ninth Divine descend upon you when you're already on fire. And Talos? Apparently immune to dragon breath. Not surprising, I guess, I saw a boss draugr shout a full Unrelenting Force at him from about two feet away in Valthume and all he did was take one stagger step backwards and go right on swinging.
Oddly enough I originally intended to take out the one Silver-Blood brother, not the new Jarl but the one that runs the family business, because I couldn't think of anyone in Markarth who deserved it more. Then I actually got there and was trying to get around and sell off the last of my unwanted gear and after being held up twice by that sanctimonious Vigilant decided that his harrassment of innocent passersby MUST. END. NOW.
Kinda forgot that he couldn't be killed, which sucked, but then again it did make the fight between him and Talos go on for quite a while which was pretty entertaining.
