I thought I'd make it to Iron Bind Barrow today. And honestly if I really pushed myself I probably could. But I am spent. Lydia had a chance to prove herself in battle today! The girl did well. She took less of a beating than I did, I wasn't aware that she was so skilled in ranged attacks. What happened is this: we were attacked by a dragon! We brought it down in time, and then it was just a simple game of cat and mouse dodging in, getting in a good hit and then darting back out before it's giant jaws snapped shut on us.
And that's not all. As we continued down the hill after slaying the dragon I sighted another Word Wall like the one I learned the dragon word 'fus' from in Bleak Falls Barrow. Curious about the word which might be inscribed on it I ventured closer. There was a coffin by the wall but I paid it little heed. It was broad daylight out, what sort of crazy undead would awaken under a luminous sun? I though. I was wrong. The coffin opened. And what followed was the hairiest fight of my life. I swear he some kind of demi-god, the power that creature wielded! But Lydia and I prevailed, mainly by kiting him from a distance. Or one of us would distract him while the other dashed in to land a solid blow. when he finally succumbed I found a strange and obviously powerful mask in his ashy remains, inscribed withe the single word, 'Krosis'. It seems very valuable, but after that fight I think I may well keep this mask as a trophy!
We are going to spend the rest of the day and night at Night Gate Inn. I took several good blows, including a bloody wonder to the head, and feel I should rest at least a day before braving the vile winds again.
