"Unlike zombies, draugr's bodies are well preserved." Jofrodr noted. He gestured to the corpse for Kane to see. "See how it isn't rotted away, despite it being around a hundred years old."

The tales about draugr have been around since the Merethic Era, but in Skyrim the creatures only became common place after the Dragon War. Old Dragon Cult temples are littered with the fiends.

Harald began walking towards the door to the right. "We might want to split up to cover more ground, explore both halves of the temple at once. You Stormhawks can head the other way, or just follow along with us. You're choice."

The thane didn't wait for an answer and walked up the stairs to the second level of the chamber.

Jofrodr went after him. "Come on Reyl, the rest of the temple probably won't be as bright as this common room. The thane will need your magelight."

Harald walked up cautiously, but there wasn't any traps on that staircase. He made it up there without issue. Once there he examined the doors, they weren't locked. He pushed then open, keeping his shield up and staying alert for any signs of a trap. He heard a click, but it was too late to try to dodge as a log came down from the ceiling and slammed into his shield.

However, the thane managed to brace for the impact of the log, using his strength and tall build to withstand the trap's attack. He held his ground, barely moving back when the trap hit him.

Jofrodr was quite impressed. The thane was quite large, being almost three heads taller than him, but he still didn't expect him to be able to withstand a log smashing into his shield. "Are you alright, my thane?"

"Fine." Harald grunted. He stepped back and let the log move and rest in its final position. "Seems the mage was right. Doors are trapped as well. Damned dragon cultists." He cursed the last part under his breath.
