Let's add Alden to the list of Darwin Award finalists. He was killed in Helgen Keep, while roasting some Imperial archers standing in an oil slick. Apparently he didn't realize he shouldn't stand in the oil as well...

Level 1. He lasted only 16 minutes.

I'll bet you're not the first to ever get killed by that oil slick, Rafer. :)


Giselle de Grue is alive and well. She's about 7:20 into the round, is at level 9, and has just killed Mirmulnir. She's wearing a rather shabby-looking mix of banded iron and steel, and she's just found a dwarven bow. She has also managed to acquire the Bound Bow spell (What a fight that was!), although she barely has enough magicka to cast it yet.

I like playing a conjurer/archer! :)

Jonna is at level 10 and 7ish hours. Has one more errand in Riften, then off to BFB!

The mountain with Dimhollow Crypt is the site of my dual Darwins. I've had two characters fall off while taking a shortcut down. Seriously, why don't they listen to me?!


Added: A picture!

Thanks to Alden dying almost immediately, and the fact that the weekend here is Friday and Saturday, Benjamin has made a ton of progress. Currently, he's level 22 at 16 hours of game time. He has defeated Mirmulnir, a Blood Dragon and 6 other Dragons. He has also just taken down Krosis. He's currently decked out in full Wolf Armor and using a Skyforge Steel sword; a fire enchanted Silver Sword and an Imperial bow. Krosis just got a taste of Drogonskin + Atronach stone.

Dang! y'all are doing so well! <sigh> Samil is still waiting in Helgen Keep, so I have no update....or that was my update.

Alice has made a start, travelling through Helgen keep and siding with Hadvar. She followed him to Riverwood before clearing out Embershard and travelling to Whiterun. She's been collecting spells and chopping wood to pay for them, getting ready to head out to BFB, she's standing waiting in Dragonsreach while I grabbed a mod to change the mesh of female mage hoods to be the male mesh....I do hate that stupid fluffy trim on the hoods....

Rafer, Benjamin is doing so well! That’s awesome!

Wow, Jonna needs to get off her ass. She’s in Ivarstead looking up at the steps. Only one dragon (Mirmulnir) down. This girl does not hurry.

Areial, if I missed my guess I’ll probably be re-starting about the time Samil gets going, so you will have company!

glargg, a conjuror/archer is also one of my favs. It was hard to pick a skill set for this round. I almost went with a sorceress.

Poncho, sounds like Alice is off and running!

I've had time to make some progress, as well.

Currently just under 17 hours, and level 14, Giselle has killed Mirmulnir plus 5 more "regular" dragons.

Still wearing the same crummy banded iron (now enchanted with Magicka Regen), she's using primarily Conjuration and Destruction (mostly shock), and switching to her shock-enchanted Dwarven bow when her magicka is low (which is a lot of the time!)

Glargg you must be plagued by the same RNG monster as Palanir. He's been in the starting gear from Helgen (approaching level 14) and found nothing of use for his build. He had to spend precious septims on a better hood to get just 20 more magicka. My practice character Testing was loaded with all kinds of found goodies, but poor Palanir none (I think Sheo is trailing him).

Alice bit the dust, sprinting full speed toward Winterhold from a snowy sabercat....darn flame atronach was worse than useless and couldn't hit the broad side of Red Mountain from Ghostgate :(

She'd made it to level 13 (focus on conj/alt/destr with some one handed unperked) and fairly breezed through most things up to this point, but I swear sabers bypass armour :/

Anyways, important stats:
1 dragon killed (mirmulnir)
1 word unlocked (Fus)
1 other word found (in Saarthal)

edit: roughtly 8 hours in /edit

I'll be restarting with another Alice later on tonight most likely, need to keep myself awake to sleep tomorrow daytime

He had to spend precious septims on a better hood to get just 20 more magicka. My practice character Testing was loaded with all kinds of found goodies, but poor Palanir none (I think Sheo is trailing him).
Giselle has found a bunch of different enchanted necklaces, and lots of enchanted axes and swords (she uses only a bow, conjuration, and destruction.) She has minimal Smithing ability (she can now make steel, but will probably never get any other Smithing perks.)

She's not running into armor above steel and banded iron yet, although I suspect she'll be seeing Dwarven any time now. She just basically is using what she can find, and gradually making better enchantments. She's not "grinding" any crafts.

I just debunked the idea that dragons don't randomly attack towns before the Delphine business. Giselle arrived by carriage at Riften, entered the city, and heard that familiar roar. Fortunately the dragon seemed only interested in roasting guards and Giselle's atronach, and stayed pretty much perched on top of the orphanage, so he was brought down with no loss of civilian life (I think. I haven't taken a census. ;) )

Benjamin has not found much in the way of enchanted gear either. He currently has a ring of stamina and a necklace of health. Other than that, he has a self-enchanted silver sword and a bunch of dragon priest masks (which he does not wear).

He is now level 26 (nearly 27). He has killed 8 dragons, Mirmulnir, one Blood Dragon and 6 plain ol' Dragons.

He has defeated 5 dragon priests (Krosis, Vokun, Volsung, Rahgot and Hevnoraak). Sadly, Benjamin did not get the Flaming Familiar from Anska, as Anska's fireball spell upset Lydia to the point where Lydia killed her.

Damn, you and Bram are killing it!

Abel is Level 15, and on his way to Ustengrav. (Not sure where I'm at with hours, forgot to check.) His Breton resistance of magic combined with the Lord Stone and Dragonskin makes dragon breath a laughable prospect.

Mirmulnir and one dragon slain
2 words of Unrelenting Force unlocked
1 word each of Fire Breath and MfD found

Gear:
Skyforge Steel Battleaxe (Superior)
Elven Bow (Superior)
Elven Cuirass (Superior)
Elven Gauntlets (Superior)
Light Elven Boots
Hide Helmet of Minor Archery
Ring of Minor Archery
Ring of Sure Grip
Necklace of Sneaking

The Lord Stone

Giselle is now at level 15.

She has killed nine dragons (including Mirmulnir), and one dragon priest (Krosis.)

She's heading for Ustengrav, and hopes to kill a couple more dragons along the way.

Biggest problem so far: Giselle is greedy, and won't leave dragon bones behind, even though they're heavy. I try to convince her that it's a time-waste to lug all of that stuff back to town to sell, but she won't listen. Don't you hate it when characters start taking over? :)

Alice 2 got a face full of warhammer from Captain Horgar at level 11 with 3 words found, none unlocked and no dragons slain (did have Vokun's mask though)

I think I shall bow out of this round now, i've been playing a little stupid....not sure what possessed me to go unarmoured and rely on flesh spells, but it happened twice now and I don't feel like playing on Apprentice/novice

Good luck to everyone still involved :)
