The Impromptu Adventure thing is a legal defense in their world.

It's where an adventurer (retired or active) found themselves in a situation comparable to those that result in adventuring contracts. In those cases the adventurer and those involved are tried under the much more lenient standards for a professional adventuring job. It exists because otherwise adventurers might feel the legal risk from collateral damages outweighed the danger posed by say, a rampaging monster. Given that multiple countries have been saved by adventurers volunteering to fight a threat in this fashion there's not too many opposed to those laws.

But basically, while adventuring, an adventurer can commit a number of smaller crimes (like burglary, breaking and entering, destruction of private property) provided doing so furthered the objective of the adventure. It also shifts liability for a number of larger crimes like manslaughter to the monster/villain.
