Actually, you can get housecarls from OTHER Jarls as well, by being named Thane in those cities. Lydia is notorious for being sort of weak since she's typically one of the first housecarls that you can get, since your followers levels are based upon YOUR level when you first encounter them.
After the 6th or 7th time of restarting a save because Lydia got killed, I just left her dead.
So far I've gotten Faedal, Anneke Crag-Jumper, Lydia, and Vigilence (one of the dogs) killed following me. (EDIT: And two horses...)
Frostbite spiders are a simple one (or at most, two) shot kills with my bow. Even when they actually shoot their freezing snot out, it doesn't do enough damage to matter.
The whole thing with daggers that is so cool is that if you sneak up behind the person, and they remain surprised, it's not that you're actually hitting them for 15x damage, it's that you get the video of you quite literally cutting their throat. So pop - insta-kill on them, regardless of their level and/or abilities.
