On the road to Riverwood

Moving away from Helgen, Leah finally started to notice how cold Skyrim was. Seemingly the various sources of fire (Campfire at hunter's camp, Helgen) had been producing enough heat to keep her warm but now she was further away, the cold quickly descended upon her. Her clothing or lack of decent clothing lead to the chill piercing through her the layer of fur doing amount nothing.

It almost made her miss Helgen, charred corpses and all.

After about half an hour of walking down a semi-familiar path another fact dawned on Leah, the trip to Riverwood was far longer than in-game.

Leah theorised this was not due to some mod she had downloaded at 3 am due to the fact it didn't seem to involve sex and she would have remembered downloading a map extender while in hospitable hours. So this must have been an additional effect to her coming here, the distances between places was larger.

During this patch of theorising, the bushes surrounding Leah began to rustle and move just as she walked by. In her thoughtlessness, she failed to notice this noise and kept on walking as three men came up and surrounded her.

"Stop right there miss." said one of them startling Leah and finally alerting her to their presence. The men where all the burly blondes in roughly identical sets of armour made from treated leather and fur. They each had a short sword strapped to their waist. They were bandits.

"You need to pay the toll to use this road" A second one continued

"Toll?"

"Yea 100 septims and we will let you pass through, otherwise we will take their value by ****"

All three men were also looking at her with ravenous eyes. They had all seen hunters wearing these kinds of clothes before but never had they saw someone so beautiful in them, the only time they could remember seeing anything as pretty as her was when the **** caravan came into their village and even then, that **** was worth 10,000 septims.

"I don't have that kind of money" Leah replied completely unaware of their gazes and just wondering if she could fight her way out like she could in the game, or if it would hurt to be slashed by their swords.

Deciding whether she should flee or fight the men made their moves first.

"Lads, grab her" one said as all three drew their swords preparing for a fight.
