These quests are acquired in non-standard ways, or are unusual in their composition.

[edit] Lend Your Surgeon

When confronted by an enemy vassal there is a very small chance that, rather than attacking, he will ask to borrow your companion with the highest Surgery skill in order to operate on one of his men.

[edit] Help ______ Claim the Throne

On your travels you may come across a person who claims to be the true ruler of a particular faction (you can ask a Traveller for their locations). After hearing the claimant's story you can agree to help reclaim the throne (if you are currently a member of a faction you will have to ask to be released from your oath before you can swear an oath to the claimant). After you have met the claimant you can mention the claimant's name to the current king for more details. This is a very long and complex quest if you choose to accept it. See rebelling for more information.

[edit] Save the Village of ______ from Marauding Bandits

When visiting a tavern you may spot a farmer. Talk to him and calm him down to discover that some Mountain Bandits have taken over his village. Go to the village and fight them. There will be about 30, but a large number of villagers will join the battle to help you fight them. Once they are defeated the villagers will offer you some goods as thanks, but you can decline the gift if you wish (doing so will further raise your relations with the village).
