Have you ever found "the captive"?

Not sure what there is to say about finding an unclothed woman bent over a rock near a pond in the middle of the reach... there were forsworn arrows nearby so it must be related.

I have. I always thought she was sixually assaulted based on her position over the rocks. The arrows are always floating in tje water for me.

since her name is "Captive" I assumed she was a Captive who attempted to make a run for it so was shot by a barrage of arrows (like the horse thief in the intro)

Pretty sure I found that before, don't remember her being bent over though. Could be wrong, was awhile ago.

You find her clothes and a journal nearby, which says that is her favorite swimming spot. To me it seems she went for a swim and was killed by forsworn. Why Bethesda named her 'Captive', when there is nothing to indicate she was ever captured, is beyond me.

I don't recall her being named "captive" but who knows.

I would say by the position of her body, the arrows and her journal that the forsworn killed her. She knew she was on their lands and they were hostile but she foolishly assumed she would be spared. While its hard to find evidence they sixually assaulted her first, it may be a safe assumption. However on different occasions I have found her naked over the rock or floating face down in the pool. Either way since her clothing is neatly folded I am lead to believe she undressed herself. The forsworn could then have just killed her in a hail of arrows.

We may never know.

She died because of the water. Nords can't take showers :P

Joking aside.

I think she got too close for the forsworn's comfort.

Where did you find her clothes and journal?

I never find them. I always thought she escaped from forsworn prison, although it was always baffled me why she is almost naked.

Judging by all the arrows that missed:

*phwop* said the arrow...But missed.

Captive: "Huh, I guess there's nothing here after all"

*Phwop, sploosh*

Captive: "Who's there? Guess it was just my imagination!"

30 minutes later, the Forsworn had enough and snuck up on her, and slit her throat. She fell akwardly towards the rock.

Judging from where the arrows landed...I want to say poor woman. It must've taken a while before she got hit.

Plenty of time to run away. Running away half-naked in the Reach isn't wise, though. I've tried.

Bah, Forsworn women do it all the time! B)
(Which probably proves that there's nothing as BA as a Forsworn woman.)

Lol, forgot about them and their armor, I said nothing. They're already used to Sabrecats lurking at every hill:

"Whoah! Your leg, arms, body...A-are you alright?"

"Yeah...Just 15 Sabrecats. Nothing serious.*sits down and drinks*"
