This happened to me years ago while playing on Xbox, I'm pretty sure it was the first time I played through the Dark Brotherhood. Anyway, after killing the man in the chair with the wall mount, his servant Grom i think his name is, mopes around Olav's Tap and Tack.

One time I rented a bed and when I ended the conversation, I guess Grom was a little moody cause he stood up and shouted "You shouldn't be here!" He pulled out a giant battle axe and took a swing at a random woman sitting at a table. She, with half health already, ran outside. I followed she and Grom to find Grom standing over her body when the outside cell loaded.

Grom just stands there over her dead body with his axe out. The two guards near the east gate must have seen the commotion and before you know it, Grom was surrounded by about 6 guards. He died pretty quickly, all the while staring at the woman's body.

Crammal, that actually sounds like a scripted effect. Either that or Grom mustve seen you when you killled Baenlin. Then after seeing you in the pub he attempted to take a swing at you but by mere chance he missed, hit the woman who proceeded to fight with him so he fought her and then ended up the way you described. Just a hunch though :wink: :lol: .
Also Pantz Master, it sounds like ya did a lot of investigation into your event :lol:

Ok, so I'm in Skingrad and the Mythic Dawn attacks me. Well needless to say, Else God-Hater helps them out... or so I think. I see her charge towards me after the guards and I kill the first two agents but instead she rushes past me and starts killing Shaum Gro Yaurg, the counts butler! She kills him, and them runs and stabs Salmo, who I had chased out of his house earlier that day. The guards stand by and do nothing while Else and the head of the mages guild duke it out. Of course, the mage destroys her, but then things start to get really creepy. Else had die while running away, but she got stuck between a wall and a barrel. She starts whacking out, her body stretches out and floating around, whacking everything. She kept on getting bigger, and she quickly engulfed the area infront of the bar she hangs, or hung out in. Me, two guards, the necromancer, (creepy!) and the bodies of the Mythic Dawn agents and Salmo, were trapped where we stood. The bodies were being flung around everywhere. I had to swing my sword everywhere to move around. Finally I got out and I could still see her feet swinging around madly. Freeky!

Idk if this is a glitch but it kinda creeped me out. I was just out raiding some random dungeons and some of them happened to have arrow traps coming from the side, well, there was a goblin standing in the middle of one of these lol. I stepped in and backed out quickly; thus activating the trap. The goblin got stuck to the ceiling ( WTF LOL ) and on the side wall there was blood...the weird thing is, the blood had a huge glowing ring in the middle lol

One thing that made me laugh was the very first time I played Oblivion, I had just left the sewers and had decided to walk to Chorrol. Anyways as I was exploring I was being chased by a wolf and because I was level 1 I assumed i would lose. Well i was running right to the edge of a hill, well at the perfect time the wolf leaped to attack me as i stepped to the side and he took a good 50+ foot fall off the hill to the beach below. It was funny as hell watching him fly. lol

I was riding my horse outside Skingrad when a giant sinkhole appeared before me in the middle of the road. The paved cobbles, grass, etc. just ended abruptly. I could see across to the other side. I saved my game right on the edge of it, and took a step forward. Sure enough, I slid right to the bottom and splashed into water. My guess is that an underground aquifer had eroded away the limestone bedrock... Either that or a Dremora oil extraction operation had weakened the underlying soils. Anyway, looking back up, I could see tree roots and the foundation of Skingrad walls.

I reloaded my game, and the sinkhole was gone. Very strange.

Aww..nice to be thinking about me, and as for the explanation, this is Porkchop's monthly exersize program. He will bounce, then do a couple hundred tusk-ups on one of the pin's bars. How else do you think he gets so strong?

I dunno, I like this one. I mean.. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but it's cool. I mean, what is that; a giant fat spork with a snake/lizard/dragon with a crown, trying to eat an actual porkchop? So cool (no sarcasm intended).

its amazing how elastic the mage-hoods are,

i have a basket of all the ones i collected,

walked into my skingrad house, i heard a big bang.

when the screen came up, stuff was flying all over the room,

books, glasses, weapons and the hoods, were sticking out of the basket, going all over the room, from one side to another.

had to relaod about 4 times, before it came out right,

I kind of did this on purpose to see what would happen... I hyped up a beggar with a mega-fortify attack spell and then, I don't remember how, but I got her to attack me. I didn't even touch her, but I did heal her once in a while. It took 6 guards and 4 commoners to take her down, and that was only because I ran out of Magicka. Ahh, that was fun... got 3 of the guards' loot and all of the commoners' loot.

Another few funny ones.

I once shot an arrow at some dude (I saw it in his head) and it went straight through his head, but instead of reacting, he ran away, when I caught up to him, the arrow was in his leg...

One time, I summoned a Daedroth in town, and the Daedroth ran into a store and a few seconds before the summon ended, he walked out...

One time, I was making potions and for the kicks, I named one of them Crap and when I sold it to an alchemist that loved me, she (or he) said. "Since I like you so much, I guess i'll buy this Crap."

One time, when walking into the Arcane University (i did the glitch that made it so that guards attack mages on sight), and I saw a gaurd lying facedow on top of a facedown woman, their bodies met at the waist :D

Every time I try opening the door to Rosethorn Manor (bought it already) it brings me to the lockpick screen, but all of the tumblers are already set, and it automatically goes through the door opening scene.

For some reason, deers in the wilderness sometimes summon things, it's probably is just be a trick played by the eye, but when they go near an Oblivion Gate, the red seems to reflect off of their body in a certain way that looks slightly magical, and then a Xivilai comes out of nowhere.

Sometimes, if I knock out an important character, they will fly really far (usually blocked by a wall, sometimes not) away, and when they recover consciousness, they're usually dumbfounded for about a minute. They walk in one direction for a few seconds and then change direction, after a while, they just decide to go in the general direction of the place they meant to go (usually, using a ruler, I found out that if they keep going straight, they won't reach the desitination, but will come within close proximity of it.

The Xivilai appeared bacause they came out of the Oblivion Gate. Not because the deer is magical :lol: . Also the redness is probably caused by the fact that the sky darkens to a blood-red colour and also the Oblivion Gate is red aswelll so perhaps the colours were reflecting off the deer????

If i ever need someone killed, but i dont want the bounty, Ill summon a Faded Wraith, punch it 3 times, and then stand behind the character i want killed. Well the Faded Wraith flings some spell at me but it hits the person, and there we go, the fight starts.

Thats how i got the Mysterium Xarxes. I almost thought i was cheating, and then i was like, Naw we tricked those cultist [&@%!] into pretending i needed help ><

One time, I was in the Arcane University training room, and I summoned a creature and hit it 3 times. The dude that was shooting spells shot a lightning spell at it but hit himself, nearly killed himself too... lawlzy cerebral pawlzy

And as I said, I knew that it was because of the Oblivion Gate.
