1!!''The Farseer Trilogy'':
2* Burrich's brutal beatdown of Galen after he nearly kills Fitz.
3* Verity overpowering and killing Galen thanks to Fitz at the end of ''Assassin's Apprentice''.
4* How Fitz gets rid of Virago.
5* Kettricken's march on the Forged Ones, which breathes life into Buckkeep in a way that only the Queen can. Crosses with TearJerker, however. She reminds them that these are the loved ones of Buck; this is not a victorious hunt, not a celebration, this is a funeral. They cut and burn their hair and mourn their dead.
6* Fitz discovers that a Duke is neglecting his duty to maintain the coastal watchtowers not because of malice, but because he's fallen in love with a servant girl, now his Duchess, and is doting on her and showering her with riches. She's not malicious herself, just naive. Fitz inspires her to be a leader, giving her the speech she uses to convince her husband to return to her duties (echoing Chivalry's own comments about the watchtowers in the process), leading her to become famed in song. She then goes on to be a leader and hero in the war.

8!!''The Tawny Man'':
9* How about [[{{TheRuntAtTheEnd}} short, 15 year old Swift]] facing down and killing [[TheDragon the very literal stone dragon]] with [[ChekhovsArmoury that last, oddball arrow]].
10** Shortly before that, Burrich stuns it with the Wit, driving it to its knees.
11
12!!''The Rain Wilds Chronicles'':
13* Kalo eating Hest. [[KarmicDeath couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy, really.]] And then there's his stone-cold PreMortemOneLiner:
14--> '''Kalo:''' "No, I won't call you 'Master'. I'll call you...'Meat'."
15* The final assault on Chalced. The dragons ''annihilate'' the troops sent to kill them and bring the entire duchy to heel within ''hours''. Offscreen.
16
17!!''Fitz and the Fool'':
18* Near the end of ''Fool's Quest'', Fitz imparts some long awaited vengeance on the Chalcedean mercenaries who brutalised the folk of Withywoods.
