History Awesome / DiceFunk

* The Wolf Pack's second fight with the empowered Halflings is a complete CurbStompBattle, with them taking out two of them in the first turn and quickly putting them on the run before taking the entire group out non lethally.

* After spending the first third of the Season as TheChewToy who's plans always fail, Rinaldo ends up proving himself surprisingly badass when [[spoiler:Jayne tries to sell him to a brothel. He quickly dodges the goons, makes the crowd carry one of them away, kicks Jayne off a balcony, swings on a chandelier, and reduces Jayne's head to a bloody smear]] all withe nearly perfect die rolls.

* When the party finally reach [[spoiler: the body of Chronos where Pope is keeping Princess Lime, King runs in a full 20 minutes ahead of the rest of the Furies despite the danger, leaving Lynette, Cordelia, and Blake to follow later. The three fly above Chronos, dodging the various enemies around, then use Locate Creature to find where Lime is. When they find that lime is hiding under the zombified Typhon (which has snake legs) Cordelia distracts it with her ability to speak to snakes, allowing Blake to grab Lime with a critical success. All of this completely circumvents Austin's planned encounter to his amusement and exasperation.]]

* Season 2, Episode 15: All of it. After the previous episode had Drop flip a switch and sandbag the party in an albeit spectacular way, everyone was very aware of the possibility of a total party kill. However, Vinnie manages to crit their way into a compromize that would allow them to leave and Guy to keep his honour as chief: a duel between himself and one of the crew, where they would throw the battle to endure the others safety. A crit leads to Alias absolutely owning him, leading to a riot. Drop unleashes the Mossheart on the orc squadron, causing them to start butchering each other, all the while the team makes a swift exit, everyone alive and having taken out over a hundred orcs. One couldn't really imagine a more drastic change in fortune.

* After nearly botching their first assassination, Blake and Cordelia manage to pull of their second one incredibly well, with Cordelia busting into a funeral and turning giant to distract the guests while Blake strangles the target. Both show some quick thinking, Cordelia starts destroying the church to drown out the noise Blake is making and when the target resists all of Blake's spells, he shoves him into the coffin and freezes it shut. To cap it off, Blake casts a spell to make everyone present look like Slaads, distracting everyone while he and a still giant Cordelia fly out through the roof.

** Sasha comes up with an unorthodox strategy at the start of the fight, which ends up being CrazyEnoughToWork. Knowing that they have no chance of winning the encounter in a conventional way as Kajita is way out of their league, she tells the party to throw everything they have at causing status effects. Kajita burns through his three Legendary Resistance reactions countering them... only for Sasha to activate her Conduit powers to give her a mech a gun capable of ''shooting Objectivus into his brain'', killing him instantly and finally fulfilling her promise to give the Illithid tadpole a body to take over-- a body far beyond Objectivus' or [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Subjectivus]]' wildest dreams and permanently securing their UndyingLoyalty.

** Lenora buys precious time for Bloodmaw by [[IWilllTauntYou quipping at Aeron]] enough that Aeron decides to attack her to shut her up. Austin notes that this this wasn't an actual D&D Taunt effect-- rather, Lenora managed to push his BerserkButton hard enough that he felt that making her stop talking was more important than killing the demon that was fighting him at point-blank range.

* Season 3, episode 21: The team, [[spoiler: through spamming her true name, KILL LADY NIM, a super powerful Demon, who is quite possibly one of the two stronger characters in the setting.]]

* After Zoey Legrande rejects [[spoiler:Ghaunadaur]] at last, an unidentified god rains down radiant holy light from the sky, burning away the essence of [[spoiler:Ghaunadaur and Lady Nim]] from her sword, essentially rewarding her for taking her life back into her own hands. And all that, thanks to Wild Magic.
* Season 3 Episode 31: In an amazing display of irony, [[spoiler: Dora throws Warden Light into one of his own mirrors. Made even better as Austin began the fight by explaining how she doesn't stand a chance.]]

* In episode 32, Mardis and Robin confess to [[spoiler:Dora that they've killed Asriel]] and she ''laughs in their faces'', renouncing the last shreds of her interest in saving Ilium in the most carefree way possible.
-->[[spoiler:'''Dora]]:''' [[YouFool You fools]]!

** [[spoiler:After getting a variety of magical buffs from Zoey and Veltari, Rolen essentially [[CurbstompBattle curbstomps Dora]].]]
** [[spoiler:Laura realizes that [[ChekhovsGun Planar Binding]] will work on Dora, as she's from the Feywild. As such, Veltari commands Dora to "kill what you love", forcing her to kill Ghaunadaur with her Staff of Bahamut. While Dora manages to warn him that she's being controlled and [[ICannotSelfTerminate convinces him to kill her]], it's too late to stop a MutualKill.]]

** Similar to how [[spoiler:Dora defeated Warden Light]] in the previous season, another character pulls off the statistically impossible in a HopelessBossFight. [[spoiler:In this case, Catarina survives being slashed by the virtual Victory Itself thanks to the Barbarian class' inherent damage reduction, an attack that Austin fully intended to be unavoidably lethal.]]
** Shortly after, [[spoiler:Lenora attempts to drive [[KillerGameMaster Algernon]] [[DrivenToMadness to madness]] [[CuttingTheKnot when it becomes obvious that the party stands virtually no chance against Victory Itself]] [[DesperationAttack as a last-ditch effort to not get killed in the game (and by extension, in real life]]. Not only does it work, but the insanity effect causes him to compulsively draw cards, eventually causing him to suffer a [[CastFromHitpoints fatigue effect that drains his Lifepoints completely]], [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard and would have killed him in the real world as he intended to kill Frank]] had Frank not, in an awesome moment in his own right, chosen to surrender explicitly so that his bitter rival wouldn't accidentally kill himself.]]

** [[spoiler:After getting what are essentially superpowers by becoming conduits of the Forms, the party (minus Catarina, who ditched the rest of the party earlier in the episode) are ambushed by the two Dragonborn from the wrestling arc on a train ride back into Valentine. When one of the Dragonborn (under the effect of magical Fear) holds the train conductor hostage, Frank uses a spell to switch places with the hostage, and gets shot in the face out of reflex. Instead of being instantly killed via ClunkySalsaRule, however, this moment of pure self-sacrifice triggers his new powers as a conduit of the Form of Protection Itself for the first time, triggering a passive Sanctuary effect that forces the bullet to veer off and hit nothing.]]
*** [[spoiler:Later in the fight, Frank puts the Sanctuary effect to use again, this time as part of a combo with Lenora and Eddi. When Lenora (who had been helping Frank neutralize one of the Dragonborn in a separate traincar while Eddy tried to disarm the other) determines that Frank had their Dragonborn fight under control and went to help Eddy, she ends up becoming the target instead of Eddi. Unable to make the shot miss everyone entirely, Frank uses his Sanctuary reflex to redirect the shot at Eddy, who uses a reflex action of his own to cast Shield, which catches the bullet, robs it off all of its momentum, and causes it to fall harmlessly to the ground, like something out of [[ComicBook/BlackPanther a Black Panther comic]].]]
*** [[spoiler:Even later in the fight, Frank performs the teleportation trick again to save Eddi, who had been pinned against a wall and shot twice in the gut. Even though his Sanctuary effect couldn't stop the bullet this time, and he gets shot before making an exit with Misty Step, for the third time in a single encounter he manages to save a life with powers that he's only just begun to figure out.]]
** [[spoiler:The fight ends with Lenora using '''her''' newfound powers (in her case, having become a conduit of Magnetism Itself) to blow open the back of the train car, sucking the remaining Dragonborn out of the train (non-lethally), putting an instant end to the encounter.]]
** [[spoiler:The party wins the entire fight without drawing an obvious weapon, despite fighting against two Dragonborn wrestlers who were armed with pistols. Austin notes that, despite the party being highly wanted fugitives following the events of the military base heist, successfully defusing the situation in a non-lethal fashion, without weapons, will greatly improve their standing in the public eye and their chances of clearing their names.]]

** The courtroom scene quickly goes through a series of ShockingMoments when [[spoiler:Catarina attempts to force Frank's hand by handing him a loaded gun, directing the barrel at her head. She goads him into shooting her by making it perfectly clear that she plans on assassinating the Judge, a member of the Crown Corporation's Board of Directors, which will ensure that Frank will never get to see his kids again. This plays directly into her hands, however, when she uses her Conduit of Victory Itself power alongside her Monk power to deflect projectiles to try to redirect the shot into the Judge's head with the intention of instantly killing her.]]
** [[spoiler:Frank then immediately uses his Conduit of Protection Itself powers to deflect the bullet and direct it away from everyone... only for Lenora to use '''her''' powers as the Conduit of Magnetism Itself to direct the bullet ''back'' at Catarina, blowing her arm clean off and, as a result of Catarina using her [[OneHitKill HP-to-Zero]] Victory Itself powers, nearly killing her outright.]]
** [[spoiler:However, Catarina refuses to go quietly, and tries to [[TakingYouWithMe take as many people as possible with her by pulling the pin on a grenade]] as she loses consciousness.]]
** [[spoiler:Thanks to his high Perception abilities, Eddi casts Haste and Mage Hand alongside his Conduit of Synergy Itself powers, and Mardis grabs the grenade and attempts to carry it as far away from the other people in the courtroom as possible before it explodes. Later episodes reveal that he successfully minimized casualties.]]

** [[spoiler:The party manages to kill the last surviving god of the Dice Funk universe. Unlike the final battle against Ghaunadaur, this isn't even the FinalBoss of the season.]]
** [[spoiler:Lenora, having exhausted all of her spell slots, lands the killing blow by jamming a [[ImprovisedWeapon church pew]] through the god's eye. For bonus points, this is yet another god that one of Lauren's characters has directly killed.]]

** The FinalBoss is [[spoiler:a rematch against Aeron, who [[CurbstompBattle utterly demolished the party]] in their previous spar, and Aeron is much stronger this time around. This time around, they end up victorious.]]
** [[spoiler:Aeron manages to catch one of Lenora's rockets with his bare hands.]]
** [[spoiler:Bloodmaw proves to be a force of nature in the buildup to the finale, but the final battle proves that he can take just as much damage as he can give out. While the rest of the party chips away at Aeron from a distance with guns and spells, Bloodmaw is the only one to fight at melee range, [[TelephonePolearm using a makeshift maul made from a stop sign and the concrete that was holding it in place]]. Bloodmaw lasts nearly the entire fight despite getting repeatedly savagely punched and ki-blasted by Aeron (and taking a RPG blast from Lenora after she [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't realize that he was within the blast radius before it was too late]]), and getting minimal healing from Frank and Mardis, whose healing is repeatedly shut down by various means. Near the end of the fight, Austin becomes flabbergasted with how much damage he's survived taking, and at one point survives attacks with single-digit HP remaining on two separate turns (thanks to a tiny bit of healing from Frank). Even when it becomes obvious that Aeron is about to "kill" him (insofar as a demon can be killed in the Material Plane-- rather, he's banished back to the Abyss upon death and can eventually return), he tries a DeathOrGloryAttack that, while failing to do much damage due to bad dice rolls (including a [[EpicFail critical failure]]), is an impressive LastStand, and while Aeron literally punches his heart out of his body, he [[LargeHam makes a big show of his death by doing his trademark blood vomiting as he perishes]].]]
** [[spoiler:Lenora buys precious time for Bloodmaw by [[IWillTauntYou quipping at Aeron]] enough that Aeron decides to attack her to shut her up. Austin notes that this this wasn't an actual D&D Taunt effect-- rather, Lenora managed to push his BerserkButton hard enough that he felt that making her stop talking was more important than killing the demon that was fighting him at point-blank range.]]
** [[spoiler:Mardis largely plays a support role in the final battle, but his use of Holy Weapon (as well as his ability to maintain Concentration for the entire fight to keep it active) is one of the biggest reason that Bloodmaw is capable of dishing out the massive amount of damage that he causes.]]
** [[spoiler:When Aeron lands a critical hit on Eddi, the Warforged is able to evade half of the damage with an Uncanny Dodge, which takes the form of a bullet-time backflip.]]
** [[spoiler:Frank's contributions to the fight aren't as flashy as many of his previous battles, but he manages to do considerable damage to Aeron with damage-over-time attacks. At one point, he also manages to [[ImMelting melt off the flesh of Aeron's face]] with a Vitriolic Sphere.]]

** Dregg sets a trap for a crime boss and manages to eviscerate him verbally before regaining the full power of his paladin oath, receiving a ThemeMusicPowerUp, and cracking the skull of [[spoiler: the man who killed his biological parents.]]

** Sasha saves everyone on the second floor of the Purist compound by using her conduit to [[spoiler: plug the hole in the elevator with an inflatable raft.]]

** The crew faces off against [[spoiler:Kajita, a sun dragon capable of causing planet-level extinction events, after Big Star and Dregg [[SayingTooMuch say too much]] about the project to revive the Maxwells. They emerge victorious with no serious injuries or losses.]]
** Sasha comes up with an unorthodox strategy at the start of the fight, [[spoiler:which ends up being CrazyEnoughToWork. Knowing that they have no chance of winning the encounter in a conventional way as Kajita is way out of their league, she tells the party to throw everything they have at causing status effects. Kajita burns through his three Legendary Resistance reactions countering them... only for Sasha to activate her Conduit powers to give her a mech a gun capable of ''shooting Objectivus into his brain'', killing him instantly and finally fulfilling her promise to give the Illithid tadpole a body to take over-- a body far beyond Objectivus' or [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Subjectivus]]' wildest dreams and permanently securing their UndyingLoyalty]].
