Epic Dragon fight today!
Soon after leaving Raven Rock as the only DB, I started to travel from Windhelm to persuade the nearby Boethian cultists to leave me alone. Shortly after approaching the mountain, an Ancient Fire Dragon decided to visit, and after a Bend Will Shout, we went to visit my new friends together.
Must be something they said, but my flame-belching mount took offense and fried all but two of the cultists. I could not understand how they survived; must be Dunmer was the thought at the time. So I chose to land and dismount, and hike back for more intel. But soon after landing, the Dragon chose to assault a nearby Orc Stronghold, and as those are allies, I got my longbow involved.
Now the resultant battle took place over a fairly nice chunk of territory; from the Orc Stronhold almost all the way back to the cultists. Between the drake retreating to heal, or interlopers such as leveled Ice Trolls interrupting our private disagreement, it took the entire day, and that was at a timescale of 10; not 20. In the end, the Dragon chose to leave and lick his wounds, and my Archery, Restoration, and Sneak received a few points for the excursion; a major reason I chose not to reload.
Of course, mods improved the fight, but it was worth it.
P.S. The two surviving cutists were invulnerable; frozen in place as eternal gladiators. I am hoping a visit after enough time with reset the area, but even if it doesn't, the battle was worth the broken quest; did not plan to get the artifact anyway.
