Skyrim:Adventurer

Adventurers can be found in various locations and, with one exception, are all found dead.

 
 
This Adventurer is alive and can be initially encountered in Harmugstahl fighting an enchanted frostbite spider.

After the battle he will sheath his weapon and say: "That was a close one!" When you ask him about the glowing spider he will respond: ''"I don't know, but this place is full of them. Every one I've encountered has been enchanted or the like. Look, I'm getting out of here. Normally, spiders make my skin crawl, but magic spiders? Blech." He will then head for the entrance, but will add: "Is there anything more revolting than spiders? Too many legs..." When he exits Harmugstahl he disappears from the game. 

He wears a set of regular leather armor, while his gauntlets and boots are leveled heavy armor of the best possible quality. He wields a randomly determined weapon (up to elven quality at level 22), either a battle axe, a greatsword, or a warhammer. Additionally, he carries a small amount of gold.

He carries an iron dagger, with a slim chance of carrying one or two potions, a lockpick and/or a small amount of gold.
