Alehazar Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Even after playing well over 100 hours, this encounter happened to me for the 1st time ever since I started playing Oblivion.I ventured into Dzonot Cave, on the border of the Imperial City Island, and I encountered an Orc who attacked one of the bandits coming at me. I figured the Orc got caught in the crossfire, getting hit by an errant arrow from the bandit's bow. As an aside:(Near Bruma I was pleasantly surprised maybe 8 out 10 times of finding an Imperial Forrester and an Imperial Patrolman shooting arrows at each other. Apparently one must have hit the other by accident to take out a random bandit. same thing once happened in Cheydinhal, where Aldos Othran got into a fight with a city guard. Another city guard started yelling "Murder!", when Aldos was struck down and started attacking his fellow guardsman; I believe this guard standing in front of Aldos' house is flagged essential, so the fight simply continued. Anyway, I digress.) Turns out the Orc was an "adventurer" exploring the cave for wealth and for the honor for Orsinium. He eventually got killed by one of the other cave dwelling bandits, but it was quite refreshing to see a live adventurer in a cave for once. Most of those that I come across, are already dead. Being at the right place at the right time? It sure seems like a once-in-playthrough encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diosoth Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Adventurer They're a random NPC that shows up in certain locations. They seem to be there to add in some of the lore from Daggerfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy8 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've encountered that orc several times (in different dungeons). BTW, killing him (I did it once or twice accidentally) is considered as a murder - you'll get a visit from Lucien Lachance after that. That Forester and Patrolman are ALWAYS somewhere near Bruma shooting each other. BTW, attacking anyone of them leads to the considerable bounty on your head.

Phenix45 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 A weird thing I noticed seems to be a glitch, but sometimes when I'm just walking around in the Arcane University area of the Imperial City, the mages there just start to randomly attack each other. Seems to happen every time I walk out of the enchanting place or any other cell. It's actually pretty fun to watch, and I've collected a lot of enchanted daggers too :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met one of those orcs while exploring Fort Ursrek..maybe it was the same one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
