Tonight I was in River wood doing some buying and selling when 3 Stormcloak rebels walked into town and all heck broke loose. The town civilians and the Whiterun guards attacked them and bodies were everywhere. I tried to help but when I hit a rebel the Whiterun guards arrested me.

I loaded up twice to get an outcome that would not have the Whiterun guards after me and not have the blacksmith dead but I failed on both accounts.

Any advice would be most welcome.
