Bleak Falls Barrow

As I get up in the morning, I headed to the General Store since I neglected to visit it the night before.

When I entered, the Shopkeeper Lucan Valerius and his sister are having an argument about something. After noticing me he apologizes and I asked "Did something happen?" and he explains that thieves had stolen his Golden Dragon Claw and taken it to Bleak Falls Barrow, I offered to help him get it back from these thieves and he said he can reward me with a shipment of coin if I successfully retrieved the claw.

His sister Camilla leads me outside and shows me where Bleak Falls Barrow is and I get on my way.

On my way up the path, I encountered an abandoned watchtower filled with Brigands, and a fight ensues.

I was victorious and managed to defeat the bandits but I'm heavily wounded. I decided to chug down a healing elixir I bought from Lucan and continue on my way.

A bit further up the path and I arrived at the barrow. A few more brigands stood outside and I took care of them, I then entered the ruins.

I ran and ran until I got back to Riverwood. I was overwhelmed and I knew it, but I retrieved the claw so I headed to the Riverwood Trader.

He accepted the claw and gave me the shipment of gold that he promised, and then I headed to the Blacksmith to spend it.

As I approach the forge I witness a conversation going on between Alvor and his Daughter, Dorthe.

"Do you really think I'll be a good Blacksmith some day? As good as Eorlund Graymane?"

"Of course! When you're ready you'll be the greatest Blacksmith Skyrim has ever seen!"

" So then is it time yet? Time for me to make my sword? Or maybe... an axe?"

"Patience, Dorthe. You'll get some time at the forge, I promise you. But not right now. You need to keep watching me. That's how you'll learn."

"Yes, papa..."

Alvor notices me and I tell him I'm looking for some new equipment, he says "Looking to protect yourself? Or deal some damage?"

"Protection" I reply, and he shows me some steel armor he had forged which I spend the majority of my gold on

After acquiring the new armor, I headed out and

Played Hide & Seek with Dorthe

Did some hunting.

And encountered an old orcish man, he had stood next to two dead Sabre Cats looking disappointed.
