Turdas 8th of Hearthfire

It had been a long journey and one that Ysmuth would be glad to conclude. He soet out from the Inperial City 3 weeks ago when his brother sent word of his parents illness. He set up camp and intended to cross the border into Skyrim to see his dying parents the next day.

As he finishes camp set up he hears a rustle int he woods and a stick snap. "Who goes there? Show yourself," he shouts as he grabs his greatsword and prepares for battle. A few moments pass and all he hears is a soft breeze rustling the leaves on the trees. You look around again and turn around just in time to see a cave troll charge into the camp and destroy his tent. Ysmuth barely jumps out of the way in time and the troll turns around instantly and lets out a roar as it goes for another attack. Ysmuth jumps back, dodging the first three swings, and steps back in to deliver two deeps cuts to the chest. The troll lets out one more savage roar and retreats into the forest.

Ysmuth knowing that it would heal fast and come back, possibly with friends, decides it is not safe to camp tonight and decides to continue his trek to Skyrim. By day's first light he is able to see the snowy peaks of Skyrim's mountains. He sits down and builds a fire to cook the last of the rabbit he had killed the day before and then continues. He finally reaches the border and crosses it and heads into the woods on the other side. He begins to notice that something is not right, there is no wildlife and everything is very quite. Then he sees a battle going on in the distance he sprints to go help but right before he reaches them he is hit in the back of the head and he goes unconcious.
