This one happened to me yesterday.
Things started out well. Found two companions immediately: a Maceman and a Crossbowman. However, in reaching the destination of my first quest, a Goblin encampment, I had to cross a river.
My Maceman drowned, and my Crossbowman went mysteriously missing. No log of any actions other than floundering in the water So, I hop over to the next town over to find some replacements. I find a Pikeman and an Axeman. So, while we were traveling, I ran out of food and was hungry. Suddenly, there was a group of pigs. "Cool" i thought, "I'll just kill one and slaughter it so I'll have food for a few days as well as some trading materials."
I initiate an attack, but didn't notice that it was a tame pig. My Pikeman and Axeman go rogue and attack me. I run away. 8 stray ducks, 3 stray pigs, 6 stray cats, 5 stray dogs, 4 stray sheep, and 7 wild donkeys are suddenly chasing me.
I held my own for a while against the initial waves of ducks and pigs, but the cats and dogs wouldn't stop harassing me with their biting and scratching, building up bruises which hindered my mobility. So I kept running, but they caught up. While I fought off the ducks, everything else retreated but my former companions, the remaining stray cat, and three wild donkeys, was either dead or had retreated. I started attacking my Pikeman since he was the greatest thread. I hit him a few times, and he retreated leaving a blood trail. Then the donkeys came. Three of them. I managed to kill one of them, but the cat behind me forced me to the ground with a scratch to the face. I also dropped my sword.
I tried pushing against the donkeys, but one of them strangled me into unconsciousness. How, I will never know. But the final blow was a donkey kick to the skull which destroyed my brain.
