K8 is Blasted Oak - Forest. If any non-skeleton dies here on in an adjacent tile, a new hostile skeleton will spawn here. 8 skeletal warriors are wandering around here.
M8 is The Hirsute Sage's Hut (while independent, scouts that pass through the hut will ignore the first set of enemies they come across while scouting after visiting the hut. The sage leaves if his home becomes occupied.)
N7 is Taghairn Cave - Owned by Cuthbert Catsbane, a Bloodsinger who wields the Cat Sack if it hasn't appeared elsewhere. Has a limited kind of Bloodforge in which three cats may be sacrificed to create a new artefact. You would first have to find a way of gaining the cats.

Cats cannot be sent to scout, and they cannot be send to attack or patrol by themselves. Monsters won't march from this location."
Q5 is The Moot - Village with 2d2 (2+1=3) Squelsh Barbarians and a moat (6/6 defense). It is the neutral meeting place of rival Squelsh bands. At the start of each enemy turn, each tile with a Squelsh Barbarian has a 25% chance of sending someone to the Moot. The first Squelsh reprisal each turn will be joined by whomever is in the Moot. If the Moot is conquered, a new Moot (with a new moat) will appear in the most populous Squelsh-held village at the start of the next player turn, or if there are no such villages, it may appear in future tile generation (from scouting, research etc.).
Q9 is Granny Longtooth's Hut - Marshland. 4/4 defence while Granny Longtooth lives here. Granny Longtooth is a Bog Hag protected by 15 Bog Cats.
