A simultaneous attack of our bows brought him on his knees really quick, and I finished him off with my ancient Nord war axe of cold. We both stealthily entered the cave, sneaking upon a bandit outlaw busy mining some ore, oblivious of our presence. In the back of the camp I discovered a set of doors leading to a cave entrance marked as 'Halted Stream Mine', and I waved Lydia over to investigate.

A skinned mammoth carcass was laying in the centre of the camp, so it seemed these had been poachers. The bandits had little chance and soon we were searching their camp, looting any food and valuables. I barraged them with arrows as Lydia darted at them, impressively swaying her enchanted battle axe about. Just as we managed to descry some silhouettes on the walkway behind the wooden walls, the doors of the camp swayed open, and 4 bandits came running at us swords drawn. Then, barely visible in the rain, Lydia pointed out a camp, with wooden reinforced walls. We came across a stream, and decided to follow it towards the North-East, killing a few oversized mudcrabs along the way. I recognized it as the bonfire at the giant camp which I had seen days earlier, so at least now I knew we were indeed heading North as I had intended. The fight had disoriented me, and only after a while I saw a red shimmer protruding the dark rain filled haze. Only after Lydia finished off the sabre cat was I able to regain my footing. Luckily Lydia was with me, and she hacked away at the oversized cat while I blocked its snapping mouth with my shield, my elven armor preventing its claws from ripping me apart. I immediately recognized the smell of the wet sabre cat's fur, and scrambled for my axe and shield, still laying on the ground.
