Spoilers Ahead

  • Baelin is a fisherman with just one line of dialogue — "Mornin'! Nice day for fishin' ain't it? Hu hah!" — and has a set routine. However, he has plenty of Awesome moments.
    • In Teaching mean players a lesson, two jerkass players, utilizing magic, place a bucket in his path, keeping him in place. They then place a set of bunny ears on him, and an Easter basket on his arms. Then, they drop his pants. All the while, they taunt the guy over his only being able to say one line — one can almost even see the tears in the fisherman's eyes. But then one decides to draw his sword — cue epic off-screen battle with Baelin winning. "Mornin'! Nice day for fishin' ain't it? Hu hah!"
    • Then there was the time he led a mob against a player who decided to kick a chicken in Never kick the chicken!.
    • There's also the time in Taking advantage of NPCs - Cannon Fodder where he's one of four NPCs the Player recruits into following after said player, and the four NPCs end up successfully taking on a Dark Lord, and while the other NPCs pull out weapons, he just uses his fishing rod.
    • Then there's Baelin's Route - An Epic NPC Man Adventure. The whole movie is about the simple one-line fisherman doing awesome things, all while using his fishing rod. Nice day for fishing alright!
    • Let’s face it, who would have thought that the most badass Pre Ass Kicking One Liner ever spoken would be “Nice day for fishin’ “?
    • He also has a minor part in the NPC D&D Adventures of Azerim series, wherein he, along with the player group, gets attacked by frogmen. He is stabbed by one of them, taking 7 points of damage, which would normally kill a commoner, and manages to land an attack on his attacker. Thankfully, after the attackers are dealt with, Baelin manages to snag a healing potion, and heals himself up.

  • The Muggers — "Let's Mug em!" Usually Iron Butt Monkeys but they do pull off some awesome moments.
    • In Bumping into your rivals - Mugger vs Mugger, the pair encounter another group of Muggers, who claim to be very successful, even claiming to have mugged The Watcher. The Honeywood Muggers aren't too happy to hear about this, given their past failures. Then, they notice a chicken, and get an idea. They challenge the rival muggers to mug the chicken, for 500 gold. The Rival Muggers kill the chicken, only to get mobbed, and killed, by a whole flock of chickens.
    • Then, in When mugging gets stupid - Wagon, the pair mug a wagon — just an ordinary wagon, not even the driver — and they get several thousand gold.
    • Then there's How to mug a mugger - Vikings - the pair managed to successfully mug Greg the Garlic Farmer, only, in their own moment of awesome, to get robbed by the titular Vikings, as two of them distract them with a polite conversation about another, more effective, way to mug folks besides doing the usual ambush from a bush, such as distracting the mark with a polite conversation about how Vikings mug nowadays, all while a third sneaks up behind the pair to do just that.
      "We've just been mugged!"

  • Chickens. Do not mess with them — Ever!
    • Baelin lead a mob against a player that had kicked one.
    • Honeywood Muggers bet a rival group 500 gold that the rivals couldn't mug a chicken. Said muggers did, only to be attacked by a flock of chickens.
