and miraak brainwashed me! I ended up working on the temple with a hammer. I had no idea he could do this. awesome

Dragonborn DLC

You need to do the quests for the Skaal that destroyes those columns and then this will end. Unless you sleep in Skyrim, it won't happen

yea I know, I just never went to sleep in solsteim before I'd completed the mq

Never happened to me. I went right up to the stone near Raven Rock and got thralled for a time after touching it. I ended up sleeping in Severin Manor a number of times and never did any sleep walking even though I expected it.

I havent even started the mq, probably why, I dont think I can either I got a major bounty in whiterun!

Meh, pay it off if you have the cash and do your Dragonborn duty. It's really not that big of a deal.

Dang! I just thought that was a glitch...shoulda known...thanks for clearing up my confusion!

It's a well known side effect of adventuring on Solstheim which is the reason I was surprised it didn't happen to me. Also Miraak only stole like one dragon soul from me unlike others whom he kept swiping from. Well he did get one other technically but the game froze up while it was happening and he lost out the next time. Serves him right!

I dont think you understand the severity of my crimes... my companion teldryn sero accompanied me to whiterun, he insited upon visiting skyrim and in whiterun he was falesy charged with stealing, so I defended him. it ended up with teldryns death and 20 dead guards and me fleeing ..
