LE Guard patrols on the Seven Thousand Steps

[zyg0tic]

It has always annoyed me that as you progress the seven thoursand steps you will find hunters sitting there who die in one hit from the animals that are on the way. How could those weak NPC hunters have possibly made it that far when you are forced to fight ice wolves and even snow bears because of the narrow path?

 

Furthermore, the Jarl has a duty to protect pilgrims, and the way should have at least 2 guards posted - or the pilgrims/hunters should be much stronger and actually walk up the steps instead of just sitting down at a little shrine the whole time. Alternatively the player should be able to hire a guard to escort them up.

 

Yes, I can handle a snow bear if Im prepared. But the point is that the pilgrims cannot. Every pilgrim must have a deathwish to try and go up those steps without a guard.
