I don't mind helping out these random encounters, but can they please shut up?

Ok ....

Yet they barely mutter a "thank you" before they vanish.

First I thought you had a nervous breakdown over pet sorcs or something.

And I'm always pleased to help my colleague with an experiment gone wrong, regardless of how loud he screaming. Adepts of the Conjuration should help each other.

Does anyone know why they actually summon those creatures? They can't handle them on their own, hide themselves behind a magical barrier afterwards and scream for help. What's the point?

Elder Scrolls trope / tradition. Their games have random event encounters like the Summoner, the Hunter shooting a deer, bandits picking at a chest, a poor guy looking for you to give them gold, or a random merchant you can intimidate for free stuff.

i know its a random encounter to let the game appear more lively, i just dont understand this encounter. Why do they summon daedric creatures which they can't control or defeat? Npc summons several daedra, hides behind a barrier and screams for help. What a smart move.

I always wish I could sit back and watch them get destroyed by that monster they summoned, but alas, that isn't an option, for they haveth plot armor.

Agree with this; I honestly think I'd be doing a favor for Tamriel as a whole by removing fools like that from the population.

There are enough Daedric disasters without incompetent conjurers adding to the mess.

I've never really got the point of them, and they just bugger off

What about a hunter class with a wolf instead of a bear?

What does that have to do with this topic?

The point is that we DONT know...and never will.

I would guess they're power hungry beyond reason? It's a pretty common trope for mages.

Drunken dare.
