I walked towards the puzzle door that locked the horrors of Bleak falls barrow away from the world, I'm being so dramatic, but unless [The System] put some game breaking, world ending boss in there, I had enough room to kite any opponent that just had way to much health and considering the restless draugr, any one that was higher level than that would be a tank and would take me a while to beat. Rotating the circles to the right 'pictures', 'hieroglyphs', just 'glyphs' what are the Skyrim symbols called, I digress, Bear, Moth, and Owl, from bottom to top. Inserting the Golden claw, I turned it and watched as the rings rotated so all of them rested on owl before they started sinking into the ground.
"Gotta Pee, Gotta pee, for the singles party, for the night for the food, for the god has died" I'm pretty sure that's the misheard lyrics, like I watched the misheard lyrics once and I now forever associate that with the Skyrim song. There are two chest hidden somewhere in the room and I'm just gonna ignore that, maybe even the chest next to the coffin, as I walked towards the raised platform, where I could see the word wall starting to glow, the chanting ringing in my ear. I stepped in front of the word wall ready to receive. The symbols starting coming of the wall and rushing into my body as the words glowed, FUS, of course held a certain extra to it.
Here lies The Guardian

Learned FUS
As the lights dealt down and the chanting stop, I turned to the coffin, the lid popped off with a bang, out of the coffin crawled a gnarl looking draugr, it was definitely uglier then it's other draugr brethren. The usually tightly wrapped cloth that was around him was starting to decay, rotting flesh showed even through the scares loth that it wore. A Ancient Nord Sword that it held had a red glow to it, Absorb health if I remembered correctly [Observe].

Before the draugr had the chance to fully climb out of the coffin, I got ready to fire shots. " [Duel Casting], [Fireball], fire, fire" there's a madness to my method, I swear.
MP: 2703-2659
Draugr HP: 3200-2389
I no longest think this will be that much trouble, because what the hell. Though I guess this is supposed to be the first introduction to draugr, maybe I'll face harder ones later. " FUS…. Ro…. Dah" The force of the draugr's shout caused me to stagger backwards, nearly flying of my feet, I can only assume the reason I'm standing is because of some kind of STR save.
HP: 2509-2300
Now that was some bullshit, I know the shouts are overpowered but this is something else, but I had time now, 10 seconds I think, it always seemed longer when you shots were recharging, yet went by so quick when it was the draugr or other people who also happened to have the ability to shout. I should stop getting distracted. " [Duel Casting], [Fireball]" Why was I thinking things when I didn't need to right now.
MP: 2680-2632
Draugr HP: 2389-1578
While I still had a few before he could shout at me again. Oh he was on his way, I wasn't sure how much damage he dealt and I didn't want to find out. I know I can't really feel pain, but I feel like getting hit makes for an imperfect game. He was moving slowly, walking towards me, what was the point of their DEX stat. I guess it's also flexibility. They should not be flexible with dried muscles and tissue. " [Duel Casting], [Fireball]"
Critical Strike
MP: 2638-2594
Draugr HP: 1578-605
Oh hi, critical strike, let's do something stupid, equipping the steel sword once again, I got ready to hack and slash the health of the draugr away, at 60 damage, about 10 attacks, without crits of course. I have to get up close, the draugr was already on his way again, I was down the stairs of the platform, so I went back up as it came closer, it brought the sword in its hand back to swing down at me, but not giving it the chance to do anything, I used my somehow superior DEX to dodge around the incoming strike, before swinging my own sword towards the draugr.
Critical Strike
SP: 2281-2244
Draugr HP: 605-489
I forgot about the undead title. The draugr staggered back as it was hit, though as I wanted to go in for another hit, it reared its head back. " FUS…. Ro…. Dah"
HP: 2360-2220
[Pain Tolerance/Damage Reduction]: 1-2
Well I don't really have to worry about things at this point, my damage to damage taken ratio is. Would I call it good, I think so, oh wait, he was getting ready to use his sword again, you know Skyrim couldn't really articulate sword combat that well, regular combat either, the draugr was doing a side swipe now, as the sword was centimetres from my side, I jumped back to both increase the ac the sword needed to cross as well as to dodge the attack, before charging forward and swing the sword towards the draugr myself, a step forward and a swipe towards his side saw me successfully hitting the draugr.
Critical Strike
SP: 2244-2207
Draugr HP: 489-373
I guess I did say that with the dried and stiff muscles, they wouldn't be very dexterous and thus wouldn't have much in the way of movement range. The bandits being the same though, why would they have such stiff movements? The draugr still seemed to have been reeling back from the hit, so I took the opportunity to once again take a crack at the draugr, let's try the thing they do in the game, swing the sword in an arc to my left at the draugr's head I feel like that should be an extra critical, the sword successfully struck the side of the draugr's head, it's head was jerked to the side, the swords momentum kept me moving as I allowed my body to keep swinging with the movement, but just as my back was turned. " FUS…. Ro…. Dah"

Like I said 10 seconds was quicker when it was someone else doing it, how was his shouts already recharged. He was ready to attack again. And he was slightly faster overhead swing of his sword at me, as the sword came down I held the flat side the steel sword to block the attack.
Block Successful.
HP: 1950-1930
It made sense that would still deal damage, before the draugr could attack me again, I swung my sword at the draugr once again, how was his swing faster, but not his reactions, the sword hit him in the side again because what's the point of stabbing if it's the same damage. Let's just finish it, instead of waiting, I pull my sword back before stabbing the draugr through the chest.
Critical Strike
SP: 2170-2076
Draugr HP: 257-21
One more to go, let's not waste time, I swung the sword back at the draugr before hitting him once again.

I equipped the Ancient Nor Sword of you know what and headed to the stairs, yes I'm just leaving the chest again, why bother after I reached up the stairs. I pulled the handle and let the wall in front of me lower down, heading to the little pedestal, I took the blue, purple and red mountain flowers. Yes I'm taking that but leaving the chests, sue me but this is Skyrim you won't get much done. Out of the cave I went. "How am I getting down?" that was a good question, shouldn't I have fast travel, heck I'll even buy it.

" [Fast Travel] Riverwood" with that command I stood in front of the gates of Riverwood, it was dark outside though so I doubt I'll be able to give the claw to them now, what can I do till then, looking at where the moon is, I don't know how to read moon position, the sun still rises in the east here right, I'm actually not sure. I walked to the Sleeping Giant Inn, what's his name should still be awake. Ai enter into the Sleeping Giant inn, the hearth in front of me burning bright and hot, Orgnar, that's his name is standing behind the counter polishing a mug. I walk up to him before stopping in front of him. "Hi, you mind if I use the alchemy table" he looked up at me when I said that "Long as you clean up. You know how to use it right? Mix a couple of ingredients together, see what happens. A little Wheat and Blisterwort makes a healing potion, if you didn't know. We have plenty of ingredients for sale, too." Well there was something else I needed. "Do you sell Alchemy books, or recipe's" please have the skill book available "Sorry friend, but no" yeah that's fine. "I'll just buy the wheat and blisterwort if you have"

It's annoying that no matter what ingredients I use it will always be minor, most likely until I level he skill up, what if I use that poison of the Dark Brotherhood, pretty sure that root ingredient can kill someone in one bite. Tch, I still have a few ingredients, different ones too, so I could level up the skill a bit and check when the potion tier goes up. Mixing random ingredients here I go.

I barely have any left, and I only made 7 potions. How, I mean I know how but still. Hopefully it's day time, so I can head to the Riverwood Trader. I walked out the door of the Inn and he sun was already a bit above the horizon. Entering the trader, I saw Lucan leaning over the counter, Camilla seemed to be elsewhere at the moment, and I mean somewhere else not in Elsweyr, why would she go there. "I have the claw" he looked up from whatever it is he was doing and turn towards me "You found it? Ha ha ha. There it is. Strange... it seems smaller than I remember. Funny thing, huh? I'm going to put this back where it belongs. I'll never forget this. You've done a great thing for me and my sister."
