It's after the Battle of Bruma but before going to Paradise, and I'm hunting random gates for sigil stones. In random world 3, I sneak to the top of the eastern Blood Well tower, and there's this balding Imperial standing there--It's the guy who's usually in the cage! I try to talk to him, just out of curiosity, but he doesn't respond, other than the generic Mythic Dawn audio "My Lord shall never be defeated" or whatever. He doesn't attack me, either. Just stares at me... looking rather pleased, actually. Hm.
Soo... I go back into sneak mode, leave the tower, and head out across the "overpass" between the two gates. Suddenly, the "sneak" symbol lights up... I've been spotted! But how? I dispatch the Dremora in front of the sigil tower and turn around... and there's the MDGuard just standing in front of the gate tower! WTF?
I ignore him--I'm not going to kill him, because he hasn't attacked me and I don't want a "murder"--and head into the sigil tower. I duck into one of the side passages... and I notice the MDGuard enter the tower after me. He yells something else about how nifty Dagon is, the sneak icon lights up again, and the freakin' Daederoths and Xivlai are all over me. I take care of them... and the MDGuard leaves. Just turns and goes. Freaky.
I should have followed him out and messed with him some more, or at least saved the game right there so I could re-load it later... but I didn't, for some reason.
Anybody ever run into this situation? This is my third time through the game, and this was new to me!
