Line 1:
First off: If you’ve never played a game called "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion”Oblivion", this might be a little hard to follow so I’ll give you the basic information you’ll need to understand this. Oblivion is a game created by Bethesda that focuses on a province called Cyrodiil. Cyrodiil faces a crisis in which portals to another dimension are opening and allowing Daedra, which are basically their version of demons, to invade the province.
 
Most of the storyline doesn’t really matter to the story I’m telling you, just know that the game allows you to do lots of stuff aside from the main storyline. There’s also a program that lets people make "mods”mods" which are plug-in files that alter the original game. I was working on a dungeon mod that I named "The Forbidden Caverns”Caverns" when this all started. The dungeon was supposed to be filled with Daedra for the player to fight their way through.

Line 11:
A week went by without anything unusual happening so I figured it must have been some problem with my mod; I decided to leave it inactive until I had time to look through it again. It wasn’t the mod! In game, I returned to the Imperial City after some heavy adventuring to sell some of the loot I’d picked up when I found a bandit NPC laying dead in the Market District for no apparent reason. Nothing else seemed out of the ordinary, there were the regular citizens of the city just doing what they normally do; no guards seemed out of place; and there were no other dead characters in sight.
 
I didn’t know what to tell myself this time, but I just figured that there must be a reason. I decided that I would check any mod that I had recently installed to see if I could find out the cause. After checking every mod I had installed in the last month, I still found nothing. "It can’t come from anything older than these, I would have seen all this strange stuff sooner if it were," I told myself. I decided that somehow my save must be corrupt or something; I made a new character and started my adventure over.
 
Everything was normal again for three or four weeks; no dead NPCs or strange figures out of place. It wasn’t until I did "The Wandering Scholar”Scholar" quest for the Fighters Guild that strange things started happening again. I had cleared out the first part of Brittlerock Cave and walked her to the ruined statue; I expected her to give her normal lines for this stage of the quest but instead she said something different, "It’s coming for you." I didn’t know what to think at this point; the line was spoken with the same voice that’s used for every High Elf female line so it couldn’t have been added by a mod. At this point I turned the game off; I didn’t even care that I hadn’t saved it.
 
The next day I decided to get back on the game. I told myself that since it was pretty late and I was getting tired, I must have imagined it. I went back through the cave and cleared then escorted Elante back to the statue. This time she used her normal dialogue like she’s suppose to. As I always do, I went in and cleared the next part of the cave before returning to the town of Anvil to turn in my quest; nothing unusual occurred during this time.
Line 22:
When I came back I got back on the game and what I saw shocked me: I was in the town of Bravil where I left off, but there were several dead NPCs gathered in front of the Mages Guild; not just enemy NPCs like the last two times either, actual characters with names and everything. I took a closer look to see who they were; one was Fetid Jofnhild, a beggar from Bruma; another was Fathis Ules, a Dark Elf from the Imperial City that Thieves can fence their stolen goods to; another one of them was Arquen, the High Elf woman from the Dark Brotherhood; two more were from the Mages Guild in Leyawiin, S’drassa and Agata; and the last one was Menien Goneld, the guard from Kvatch that the player is forced to abandon in the planes of Oblivion.
 
I looked through their inventories to see if there was anything else that didn’t make sense. The only thing I found was a note on Menien that said "It’s coming for you!" That was two weeks ago; I haven't gotten back on the game since.
