On my way back to Whiterun I found a cave full of bandits. Killed 'em all, easy-peasy.

I returned to Whiterun and bought the firebolt spell (THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR) and set out with a Companion in search of a piece of sword.

We arrived to find the area full of ZOMBIES.

After fighting our way through, I get myself trapped in a room, and my pal is surrounded by Silver Hand.

I expected him to get killed, and finding myself being blamed for it when I returned. Nope. Instead he goes all WEREWOLF on them. I was surprised.

I found a Master locked chest, and managed to pick it. B)

We eventually reached the final chamber, and I found a firebreath shout. I picked up the shard.

SUDDENLY, WAVES OF ZOMBIES

After dispatching them all, we returned to Whiterun, and I became a full-fledged member of the Companions.

Next, I shall begin my journey to seek out the Greybeards.
