  • There's an event where a Flagellant manages to scare a (young) Alp by whipping himself while starring at the Alp. Alps are humanoid monsters personifying nightmares...
  • One event has the party encountering a man covered in tar and feathers as punishment for stealing a melon and uh… “mugging” it, as the rather drunk punishers put it. The man is understandably reluctant to answer any questions, stating that “What happens between a man and a melon is their business and their business alone.” If pressed, however, he’ll decide that he may as well be honest at this point and declares matter-of-factly that “I fucked that melon, and I enjoyed myself.” you rescue him from the crowd, he'll ask you to recruit him, and swears he won't do it again. You can choose to recruit him... or not.
    No, we'd rather not be double-checking our food every time we take a bite!
  • On a similar note, you can also stumble across a couple fellows whipping a man they have hung by his feet from a tree. If questioned, they’ll happily inform you that they’re punishing the man after he was caught enjoying himself with one of their horses, and after it was dead, to boot. The man himself doesn’t have much to say for himself other than that the horse was dead already. Like the melon mugger, you can choose to free this man from his tormentors and potentially recruit him. (Though in this case there’s a smell chance the man will land wrong and have his neck snapped.)
  • One of the possible region name is "The Butts".
  • Headless zombies are able to use the "bite" attack. In the same vein, giant snakes can be injured in shoulders, legs or arms.
  • If you find a northern warhound while having a barbarian or houndmaster in your company, they can easily bond with the dog and the event states: "What a lovely creature this is. And the dog is fine, too."
  • A really big flying bird shits on one of your men, lowering his morale... unless you have a good shooter in your company who can kill the bird. In that case, you find that the man has his morale increased as he "Got revenge on a bird that shat on him."
  • As of the beasts and explorations DLC there is a reoccurring random event where your character is distracted from relieving themselves by the sound of fighting. When they make it back, it turns out that rather than an ambushing enemy, your men are in the middle of a fight with… themselves. Not only do the men snap to attention and sheepishly line up once they notice you’re there, not a single one of them can remember what even started the fight. After making sure that nobody died, everybody happily shakes hands, and 33% of the company receives both light wounds ‘’and’’ a good mood boost.
  • When hunting Unholds for a contract, there’s a chance that one of your brothers will step up to try to scare the unholds away without a fight. They flap their arms, hoot, scream, and generally act like an absolute lunatic until the giants get unnerved and most of them begin to leave. This tactic is far from foolproof, however; whether or or not it works depends on the last giant, who has a better chance than not to defensively swat at them and send them flying across the landscape, giving them a temporary injury. If this happens, the giant’s laughter will inspire the others to come back and join in their newly discovered game. Even more hilariously, while this can be done by a beast hunter as an apparently legitimate tactic, it’s just as likely to be attempted by a wild man, barbarian, or ‘dumb’ brother, implying they’re doing what they’re doing because they’re just stupid.
  • There's an event where your company is asked by a woman to rescue her grandfather, only for one of the brothers to plow said woman while the deed is being done. The captain has to cut short the old man's gracious speech and scurry out of there before he kills them all.
  • Contracts to slay monsters usually involve the captain taking a head or some teeth back as proof of the kill. After clearing out a nest of webnechts, one outcome is for the company to haul the spidery corpse back intact, delivering the good news in the middle of a child's birthday party, somehow kicking the spider across the room, crashing into a bookshelf and landing on its feet. The contract keeper thanks you for the job well done, as well as for giving the children nightmares.
