So I'm coming down High Hrothgar, just riding down and leaving Lydia in the dust. I get to the frost troll (which I just rode past on the way up) and decide to kill it. Warcry to disable it for a time, I get it down to 1/3 hitpoints and it regains its senses. Lydia conveniently shows up, distracting it so I can finish it off... but not before the troll pounds her into the ground. I think she may have taken a FUS in the process, as well. So she's crawling on the ground, and I figure she's recovering. So I run down the mountain, taking the cliff shortcut, and head to Vilmeyr... it was friggin' COLD outside (Frostfall).

I didn't notice that Lydia hadn't caught up to me. I just eventually went to bed (too much bad weather to head back down the mountain), and when I woke up, there's Lydia, finally caught up... and still crawling. lol

That Troll on the path to High Hrothgar is pretty nasty. Lydia's body wasn't ready.

Haha. Wow. Never heard of that before. Poor Lydia.

She eventually reset after I left her a few cells behind. It was hilarious at first, then sad. I figured if I saw her again and she was still crawling, I'd let her go back home. But when she caught up to me in Riften, she was all better.

M'aiq loves, LOVES, Lydia.

This happens sometimes. They get stuck in the injured/helpless position. Usually shieldbashing them (or anything else that makes them stagger) will reset them back to their normal stance....sometimes.

FUS-ing them sometimes works as well, as it staggers them.

Me poor Lydia, the only long 'un that i find worth hanging around.

I had something similar, though with Balgruuf when my Stormcloaks stormed Whiterun. I went through his whole ending speech with him crawling around on the floor
