There are three naked Nord barbarians that can be encountered on Vvardenfell that have each had a bad run-in with a witch that they escorted. In each case, the Nords lost all of their possessions, including their clothes, to the witches, and ask the player to help them with their predicament.

Later on in Tribunal, yet another naked Nord named Forstaag the Sweltering can be found in the western end of Mournhold's Plaza Brindisi Dorom. Upon talking to him, however, he will reveal that is he is not paralyzed, nor has he ever escorted a witch in his life. In fact, he claims he is naked merely because he feels hot (ostensibly the source of his nickname, "the Sweltering"). He even gets rather offended, claiming "you people think that every time you see a naked Nord barbarian, he's been tricked by some witch. So narrow minded."

If you continue to interrogate him, he will fiercely defend himself, claiming: "I told you I don't need any help. I'm just trying to cool off a bit. I've never even seen a witch! You people and your stereotypes...."

Later on in the game, after the attack on Mournhold, he will continue to defend his stance: "You'll notice I'm not blaming this on any witch. And it's still too hot around here."
