Just finished an interesting dragon fight. Saw it over the next hill, ran to attack it while it was on the ground fighting, as it turns out, a sabre cat. Get a couple of arrows in it before the dragon takes off. Sabre cat comes for me. Finish it off, scan the sky and I see the dragon landing back the way I came. Hustle back over to put a couple more arrows in it. Dragon takes to the air again just as I get close and I see it was fighting a giant. Lucky me - the giant seems to think the dragon and I are aligned and comes running over at me. Rush back up to where the dead sabre cat was and the dragon lands right in front of me.
I veered wide of it, hoping the dragon and giant would take up their fight again. It worked. While they battered each other, I got a couple more shots in on the dragon, figuring it was the one I should worry about most. While it died and I was soaking up its soul, I saw Lydia go down. In desperation, I attempted stealth. The giant (who was barely injured, as it turns out) was not fooled. In fact, he decided he was king of this little hill and, with a swing of his club, ended this Dragonborn's life. That's right. My Dragonborn died on his knees.
Time to start again now after such a memorable (though embarrassing) end.
