A frightened woman wandering the wilderness

The Frightened Woman is a Nord farmer who appears randomly and provides directions and an updated map marker to Mistwatch.

She wears a typical prisoner's outfit, including a roughspun tunic and footwraps. She has a small chance of carrying a lockpick and a small amount of gold.

Dialogue

When you meet her she will seek you out and say:

"Oh, thank goodness! I've been wandering alone for so long, I thought I'd never see another soul again."

Calm down. Tell me what happened.

"I was kidnapped by these bandits weeks ago. They locked me up in the towers near Mistwatch. I managed to pick the lock and slip out while the guard slept, but now I'm completely lost. Can you help me, please?"

There's a town nearby in that direction. Do you need help getting there?

"Oh, thank you, but I should be fine now that you've shown me the way. But those bandits have to be stopped! They're at Mistwatch. Here, let me show you on your map.... If you can stop them, you'll be a true hero!"

She will then finish the conversation and run away.

Notes

• If she isn't killed on the way to the nearest town, she can sometimes be found working as a laborer later in the game.

Bugs

• The world encounter "Mistwatch Escapee" never removes her from the game after speaking to you about the bandits at Mistwatch.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.4, fixes this bug.
