Funny Oblivion Incidents

[Wrath_Of_Deadguy]

I've got two good ones, unrelated to one another.

 

Midnight melee:

 

With my first char, a bosmer thief, I was sneaking around the Talos Plaza district of the Imperial City at night. Out of nowhere, a Mythic Dawn agent pops up and begins raising hell. A pair of legion guards rush in to help out, but this is personal- I'm not about to step back and let them swipe my kill. One of the guards take a shot with his bow just as I block with my shortsword, which bumps the Dagon flunkie back out of the way of the arrow. Guess where the arrow hits? Yup, that's right- it flies in between me and my opponent and strikes right smack in the middle of the other legion guard's breastplate.

 

Naturally, that ticks the second guard off. While the Mythic Dawn agent tumbles to the ground, he rushes off and starts wailing on the poor archer, who returns fire. A few seconds later, the guards from the other three gates arrive, some of them siding with the archer and others with the sword-swinging guard- but soon enough, they forget their allegiances and just have at it free-for-all. I'm locked up because my computer just can't handle the load, but now there are 8 legion guards duking it out in the Plaza. It doesn't take long for a few to die- but it doesn't end there. At around the time the third one goes down, some guards from neighboring districts jump into the fracas.

 

When all is said and done, some twenty guards, a Mythic Dawn agent, and a guard captain all lie dead. Oddly enough, the archer, the one who started the whole thing- the only archer involved in the fight- was the only one to survive. I made trips back and forth to the market for almost the next day to sell all the goodies, making several thousand gold off of one dumb guard's missed arrow.

 

The Southern Slip 'n Slide

 

Early on in my second game, playing as a bosmer archer (I have a thing for bosmer, sue me), I'm riding south to Leyawiin from Bravil- before the unavoidable death of the main quest gift horse, of course. I was running a companion mod at the time. I ran into a few creatures along the road, but nothing that couldn't be outrun on horseback. When I spotted some bandits a little ways down the road, I figured I could let them and the critters duke it out and just slip away. Unfortunately, just as I reached the group of bandits, my companion decided that now was a very good time to warp to my location, even though I had ordered her to sit and stay back in Bravil.

 

*POP* and suddenly I'm in the river. I try to move, and *POP* I'm fifty feet in the air. A second later, *POP* and I appear back on the road. *POP* and I'm back in the water nearby. I figure being still on the horse isn't helping any, so I get off the next time I materialize somewhere (once again in the river), and swim to shore. The enemies are all heavily dependent on melee, and the horse is as safe in the middle of the river as anywhere, I suppose. Needless to say, the bandits and the creatures weren't the only dead bodies lying on the road- I saved, toggled the companion off essential, and layed a heavy dose of whoopass on her head for being a disobedient angel and for causing me to warp around like Nightcrawler from X-Men.

I ventured to the 'Isolated Farmhouse'in the West Weald (located just north of the '-st' in 'West' printed on the map). Popped in, killed both bandits inside, explored around a bit ("Cap'n to Bridge: nothing interesting here") and stepped back outside—

 

—the sky turned red. Thunder crashed. A strange whirring sound filled the air, and a message popped up" "You have found a Gate to Oblivion".

 

I'm thinking: 'How could I find anything? I haven't moved one inch away from this hou—'

 

Turned around. The house that I just vacated was now a gutted frame. Charred corpses littered the ground, and a 'Blivvie gate somehow materialized in the three seoncds it took for my character to push open the door and cross the jambs.

That's actually kind of freaky if you think about it.

I had an incident in the Flowing Bowl, when I entered a mythic dawn woman came downstairs with her weapon out and was going for me....at that time that Imperial woman who leads the woman thief gang entered momentarily after and the result were one of the Bowl's owners, the gang woman and several others in the tavern started attacking her...

 

After the mythic dawn woman was dead and which I presume there was some friendly fire among hitting from ganging on the MD woman, the gang woman started attacking and chased the other men, an argonian, a bosmer and others ran outside the bowl and to the gate to brawl it out, I'm not sure of the outcome because I quickloaded prior to entering and all of this ruckus happenning because sometimes the Imperial gang lady ended up dead and my quest to stop the woman thief gang was abruptly ended..going to do the quest on the ship nearby stopped this from happenning, probably due to the MD woman not being in the Flowing Bowl.

[Rhydderch Hael]

I had that MD agent in Anvil identified long before I began running through the Main Quest.

 

My second Fighters' Guild mission has me taking on burglars, of course. Rather than have the soon-to-be-slain thieves decorate the store's floorboards forever and ever, I lead the burglars outside onto the dock so we could brawl it out.

 

Good and honest citizens of Anvil came to my defense, of course. Not-so-good ones did, too— I could not help but notice one of the bystanders who was helping me had conjured up the Mythic Dawn armor and began whaling the burglars with a mace.

I use an "all npcs killable" mod for my roleplaying character, and disable it for my main quest character. In one quest for my roleplaying character I had to buy skooma in Bravil. I decided that my crazed crusader character would simultaneously get the skooma and kill the dealer as to cleanse Bravil of his presence. I did so in a back alley without him seeing me (indeed, I'd never been to Bravil before so we'd never seen each other ever). About a week later game time I'm sitting in an inn in Bravil chatting it up when he comes in and sits next to me, greeting me with a "good afternoon". If my character's expression was anything like mine, he must have immediately been suspicious as to the cause of his ambush and robbery a week before by an unknown assailant.

Apologies if this is a repeat (This thread is huge)

 

After returning from Cloud Ruler Temple for the first time, to deal with the spies in Bruma I witnessed two Imperial Legionnaire Rangers playing kiss chase with bows. One would fire and the other would run, then the second would stop and return fire and the first would run...I think the pair were originally together hunting deer and one must've stood too close.

 

It was made funnier 'cos they were both like porcupines, arrows bristling from every limb. Shouting at each other as they disappeared over a nearby mound.

i was in the Kvatch gate with the other Kvatch guy. We arrived at the Sigillum Sangius. Well my other Kvatch guy thought it was smart to run around it tight quarters while i charged up to fight the key dude. After killing him i come back down and look for my ally. I was like where the hell is he? Thinking he charged down to fight some random dremora, i went down to investigate. There i found him impaled on the center spike face down. I laughed then looted his corpse, leaving him impaled and semi nude. I then went back to the door. At that point something dropped (real life) and I jumped up pressing some button on the keyboard. Picking up the object i sat back down and found myself dead. I looked and saw a naked man in front of me. I was like so thats how he died

That's actually pretty funny ;D'

 

I have got so many incidents I don't remember any good :glare:

[thursti]

I must concur that the imperial rangers shooting one another is quite funny... I was on my way to kill the woman in applewatch, while she was out farming and she ran like hell. After a while of chasing her, she ran into the rock and kept running at it I was like wtf is wrong with her...
