Redoran's Retreat

It is located slightly North then West of Whiterun and is populated by three bandits and a dog. It is also part of the miscellaneous quest to retrieve Amren's Sword.

After first entering the cave, the dog may notice the Dragonborn and alert it's presence to its master, a bow-wielding bandit to the right. The dog can be killed in one hit, so using a bow is advised. The archer is a low-level bandit, so he is relatively simple to defeat. Killing this bandit will not alert the other bandits in the cave. The bandit protects a chest, as well as some potions.

To the left of the bandit is a passageway that leads down to the main chamber of the Retreat, where a bandit is patrolling while the Bandit Chief works at the far side of the room. The easiest way to deal with the bandit is by an arrow, and this will alert the chief.

Bugs

 * Sometimes you can not move after exiting, reloading an old save or fast traveling will not fix this
