After a long and difficult fight against a Dragon Priest and 2 subsequent Blood Dragons, I finally decided that it was time to give my longtime companion, Erik the Slayer, the rest he deserved. So I went ahead and shooed him back to Rorikstead, and then went to pick up J'zargo.
J'zargo's a huge help against Dragons since he can fireball them when they're out of the reach of my poor magicka and archery skills, and I gave him a Katana in case of a pinch. He's killing about half as much as me, so he's pretty much equivalent to good ol' Erik. Plus, my best friend in real life plays a Khajiit and has Faendal as a follower, so it's nice to have a follower that's similar to having my buddy along my side.
I also found Sven's body today. I had no idea where he had perished, and I never found him again in Riverwood. Turns out that he had fallen outside of Solitude during
. I must have accidentally hit him with a force shout while he was down for the count.
Regardless, I decided to be respectful to my lost friend, and carried him over to the nearest river (took a while) and let him down the current.
I think that Roleplaying-wise, my character, Erik, and J'zargo will form an adventuring company. Generic sounding for now, but I'll flesh the idea out sooner or later.
