When you get a delivery quest, there is a chance that some mercenaries will attack you to get the super secret artefact you are hauling…
Also, when you happen to slay a bandit leader, you take his head to get a bounty, but you could get ambushed by bounty hunters…
They are pretty rare (only happened to me one time for each), but they are not super strong… They have stuff like boar spears and falchions and usually have mail shirt-level armor…
