Wackiest chain of events you've witnessed.

Let's hear 'em.

I encountered a bear and did not feel like fighting it. Luckily, I saw an Imperial camp nearby. I ran into the camp thinking "your problem now!"
Casualty count: one dead Imperial, one dead bear.
I causally walked away, pleased at my clever problem solving skills. Not twenty feet from the camp I encountered a frost troll. Time for round two!
Casualty count: Four dead Imperials, one dead bear, one dead frost troll.
Strange, these Imperials haven't sheathed their weapons and are staring into the air behind me.
*Whomp*
I turn around only to see a dragon with some poor Imperial's legs hanging out of its mouth.

In the span of a few minutes, this camp fought off a bear, frost troll, and blood dragon all because of me. Bodies were strewn everywhere and a single Imperial was left standing. :whistling:

I also found an Imperial camp within eyesight of a Stormcloak camp. Confused as to why they haven't wiped each-other out, I decided to get the ball rolling. I attacked one of the Imperials and lead them all over to the Stormcloak camp. Chaos ensued.

I got some radiant ai quest early, like level 10, to kill a dragon at a watchtower. Left it in my journal until level 70, and wanted to clear out some quests, so I went to the tower, dragon is there, I cast dragonrend on him, and he lands somewhere way off. I sit around waiting for him to take off again and come back, 2-3 minutes pass and the combat music is off, so I go look for the dragon. He was killed by two frost trolls. Weaksauce =(

Just started shooting up Whiterun for teh lulz0rz before bed. Surprisingly, I managed to fend off four or five guards - wit the help of Idolaf Battle-Born, whose family I have aided in the past. Grateful for his help, I go thank him - but he runs off, with a manic war-cry.

Turning round, I notice he's chasing a recently-orphaned eight year old girl, slashing with his claymore and shrieking like a banshee.

Had to go meet a ghost in the middle of nowhere and a dragon turned up. It got obsessed with attacking the ghost, who it couldn't hurt but could fight back with punches. Between that and my arrows and shouts, we eventually killed it. After helping the ghost out I wandered off and encountered a giant taking two mammoths for a walk. Another dragon appeared and we all attacked it. At one point it chucked a mammoth over a tree and the mammoth just got up again and charged back in. Well ambled back in, they're quite slow. Eventually we killed the dragon and went our separate ways.

There is an orc camp out in the wilderness that holds a mine that is perfect for mining ebony. At first the guard at the gate told me I couldn't enter unless I went off and fetched some item for her chief. Then she opened the gate and let me in. So I meandered into the camp, encountering no resistance. I found the mine and waltzed on in. It was filled with orcs who kept telling me to leave, but seemed to ignore the fact that I was mining next to them.

After I cleaned out the mine, I was on my way out and I picked a flower. An orc quickly ran up to me, accusing me of stealing and demanding gold or blood. I gave her 5 gold, she took the flower and she told me to be on my way. I thought the whole thing was really weird.

About a month in game time later (I waited for ages to get stuff to respawn), I was doing a quest in a dungeon and happened to find the item that the orc chief wanted. I picked it up and took it back to the camp in thanks for the ebony. The gate guard re-opened the gate for me and told me to take it to the chief. Aela and I walked into his tent. I gave him the item, he thanked me profusely and told me I was welcome in the camp & mine. Upon exiting dialogue, his orc friend yelled that I shouldn't be there and four of them (including the chief) drew weapons and attacked. I slew them all (which added no bounty like stealing a flower did) and took back the item I'd fetched for them. I talked to Aela to give her all the loot I'd pilfered, and she said, in an orc voice "you shouldn't be here!". A little confused, I exited the tent.

I wandered back over to the mine to check if the ore had respawned. Upon entering the mine, all of the orcs who had previously been making snide comments about me not being allowed in there treated me like a long lost friend! They had lovely things to say and moved away from any ore deposit that I tried to mine from. None of them seemed to care that I'd just slaughtered their chief and half the camp.

I wasn't willing to try and steal another flower though.

In the end, I realised that orcs are freaking weird.

I did the quest to restore the tree in Whiterun. That guy in the Whiterun temple asked to accompany me, so I agree. I walk to the cave (no worries) until I get to the cave entrace. A dragon lands right in front of the cave, so I fight it. They guy I'm escorting (a priest mind you) brandishes a steel sword from outa nowhere and charges at the dragon. Miraculously the priest guy didnt die by the time we kill it. But before I can go into the cave a second dragon lands (nowhere really near me) and the priest charges at that one. I run after him and hope for the best. When I get there, I decide to Fus Ro Dah the dragon. But he launches right as I Shout... making me send the Stormcloak soldier on the other side flying. In only a few secones a second SC runs up to me and places me under arrest. Since I am near death and in need of health potions, I agree to pay the fine. When the game loads, however, a SC corpse fast-traveled with me, but not the priest. I head over to the cave again and find absolutely nothing. No bodies, not even the dragon skeleton of the one I killed. I say "screw it" and go into the cave. When I go back out, however, I see the priest's body right outside the cave entrance (it wasn't there before).

Dragon attacks Winterhold. I fight the dragon. The dragon lands right in front of me. A courier walks up behind me talking about some message and just would not shut up. I almost die. Dragon flies off to attack other parts of the city. I kill the courier, causing all the guards to attack me and earn a bounty. I finish killing the dragon. Bounty disappears. Courier stands up. I kill courier. Courier stands up. I kill courier. Repeat a dozen or so times. Apparently Couriers are quest characters. I don't remember my Courier from New Vegas being a quest character. I was pissed. I miss dialogue pausing.

Had that random radiant quest where that thief runs up to you and asks you to hold some loot of some description.
So he hands me whatever it was, some boots or something, then runs past the victim and squats behind a tree whit his feet sticking out.
I think his absolutely pathetic hiding spot won't last anyway so i tell him where he went, he turns around, yells a taunt and shoots him.
The thief starts yelling "Help!!" as he runs out from behind the tree with an arrow sticking out of his ass to cower behind some nearby rocks, where he starts hollering "Leave me alone!" before he gets shot again and dies.
I loot his shoes and go of on my merry way.

I freed a Prisoner on the road, and killed the three Imperials that were holding him captive. All of a sudden, he crouches in fear behind a rock, and I catch an arrow. I turn around to notice a lovely pack of four bandits, two of which were Outlaws. I freaked out. In the middle of the fight, more Imperials pass by, and help me fend off bandits, only to be picked off by a dragon who dove down and let loose the scariest freaking fire blast I'd ever seen.

I killed the dragon, looted all the corpses, and then searched for the prisoner I had just freed because he put me into that situation. Never found him, but he would be dead.

I kill those guards every time I see them. I like freeing prisoners. I was given a second chance, so should they!

So there's this glitch that causes a dead dragon to go flying if you cast reanimate corpse on it.

I did so on a mountain and the corpse slammed into a dragon that happened to be passin' by... i lol'd

Took some random quest that I can't even remember, and some guy in a tavern asked if he could tag along. It was early in the game, so I thought "why not, he must be bad@ss to want to tag along with Dragonborn". Once we got into the wilderness, we were attacked by about half a dozen bears. Turns out, the fool didn't even have a weapon. Not a problem for this guy though, I think he downed about 4 cave bears with nothing but his fists.

I had considered dumping him since he kept getting in my way, but something about his bravery and lack of giving a F#@$ prompted me to keep him at my side. Unfortunately, a few draugrs were too much for him, and he finally succumbed in a catacomb far from home. I positioned him in a warriors pose, and laid a sword at his chest and had a short service for "he who punches bears".........Then I picked up my sword and left......he would have wanted it that way....

Arrive in Winterhold... dragon attacks. Kill dragon with guards. "Wait" a couple hours, head up to bridge to college... Dragon appears... kill dragon, wait 1 hour... get near door, head in. Brew alchemy potions a bit, come out... dragon attacks. Kill dragon. Wait... Another dragon attacks!!! This one flys around hurt... lands on the roof/deck area where no one could see him... I couldn't wait because "enemy in area" ... At first was confused... then realized it was still up there. Had to go up the stairs and out on to the deck to finish it off.

Lots of dragons in that time span after not seeing one for quite a while!!!

Saw a Dragon buzzing this one village so I pulled out my bow in hopes of catching it's attention. As it goes to make another pass on the village it begins attacking a Giant. Guards from the city are firing at the Dragon all the while. The Dragon then starts attacking a sabertooth cat, the giant is still waving his club at the Dragon, Guards are firing at the Dragon as well as I am. During the fight the saber cat starts attacking me while the fight still rages on with the Dragon. I kill the cat and soon after the Dragon dies. You would think that the Giant would be grateful but instead he starts charging me with his club. I turn and run to the guards who in turn kill the Giant. Talk about a Royal Rumble.

Something very similar happened to me. In fact I think it might have been the exact same location. I was fighting the dragon, he started flying around and ended up landing behind the mountain in such a way that it was impossible to get to him. But he was still fighting something. A couple of minutes later the combat music ended so I assumed he died. I still have no idea what killed him.

fighting a frost dragon with my merry band of forsaken was pretty funny, then my companion and a sabre-cat entered the midst and things got hilarious.

I needed some deadra hearts so I went to mehrunes dagons shrine. I killed the first daedra with a flurry of daggers. The other one was further away so I blew him away with unrelenting shout. However I noticed that the daedra fell to a cliff and was slowly getting up so I jumped after to finish the fool off. And missed the cliff..
