Currently playing a Mothman adventurer who has survived a lot more stuff than he reasonably should have (got attacked by small armies/skirmishing parties(?) for some reason after killing a bandit, with one instance involving a Master Crossbowman(?) constantly firing at him from an unknown location, a Master Lasher, and a Master Maceman, equipped with literally no armor but some shields), and recently-ish entered a town named 'Thrownbalance'.
It lived up to its name.
Within a couple seconds of being in the town, I found out that the place was an utter
mess, with several half-crumbled taverns and stores, dead animal men in the sewers, and worst of all, several distinct types of night trolls coming to the city nightly from what appears to be miles away just to prey on everyone, and possibly some living in those same sewers.
I found about the LATTER fact by being stopped during fast travel only to search around for what caused me to stop traveling, only to proceed to find
a mutilated pig corpse in the street.
I then had to follow the trail, finding more and more slaughtered animals before getting frustrated and flying around. I found the first of the night creatures, who appeared to have
crawled up the side of the castle to beat a castle guard to death with an artifact that was essentially a stone xylophone. I killed the beast in one shot only to see another night creature, this one half-dead, on the ground next to some books, which I then found had also been used to beat people and animals to death, including aforementioned mutilated pig. This night creature was also covered in several other night troll's blood.
I spent several nights trying to handle this mess, and almost every night there were at least three or four night trolls prowling the street, and almost every time at least one would either climb the castle or somehow make its way inside and kill several guards horribly.
One night, a night troll tried to kill a human swordsman who had fallen asleep in the market, and due to my character being injured (carving knife to my foot back when i killed those small armies the one time I failed to block or dodge, not a pleasant time), it took a good 15 minutes in real time to finally find where the battle was happening, and I found the poor lady.
... The night troll was trying to beat her to death with a sock, so thankfully the poor girl made an absolutely stunning recovery after I handled the mess.
There are also apparently several trolls of the regular sort who try to kill people here, but they seem to get killed by the night trolls when they try to cause trouble, so that's... nice, I guess.
... God I wish I had all the screenshots, but honestly I was so flabbergasted by this hell of a town that I completely forgot except to grab the fact that one of the proprietors of one of the partially collapsed taverns was a sweetheart who gave me free drinks and a room for killing the monsters.
