Line #13 Awesome/SomethingAwfulDungeonsAndDragons


1	* The CurbStompBattle the party inflicts on an assassin in Episode 4, Act 5, allowing the team to turn the tables after a series of CriticalFailure.
2	* The team's second encounter with assassins has Miriam pulling some ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia'' style acrobatics and wall-running to get behind the enemy and use an attack to hold him in place.
3	* Miriam's full of these.
4	** She made a strong first impression in the party's first proper fight by managing a surprise attack on a powerful spellcaster by ninja-jumping her ass, moving from one end of a long hallway to the other near-instantly. The witch, who was supposed to be a match for an (admittedly weak) Lich, spends the rest of the fight on the backfoot against Miriam, who just keeps up the pressure on her.
5	** When rescuing the mayor of Bonerton's daughter, Miriam's party sans Minerelle and Kod are charmed by a Succubus. Given the party is overwhelmingly male, this puts Miriam at a distinct disadvantage. Miriam's solution? She uses an attack that teleports creatures ''or objects'' on a hit on a ten-ton weight used earlier as a throwaway gag and warps it over the Succubus, instantly beating it. For bonus points, the Succubus had set up the ten-ton weight earlier as part of a gambit.
6	** While on the jungle dragon isle filled with dragon/bug hybrids, she takes out three of the hybrids at full health with one attack [[IncendiaryExponent while on fire]]. She saves against the fire immediately after.
7	** Her crowning moment has to be her rap-attack on a book-thief that deals ''44 rhythm damage.'' Quoth Joey following the moment: "You just got Li-buried.' It even scared a nearby Cloud Giant!
8	* When the gang starts fighting Lady Medusa and her four knights, neither side is getting any head way. Then, Joey decides to go all in, running into the fray and taking a critical to the face. He proceeds to get [[UnstoppableRage bloody, letting him enter a berseker rage]], critically hitting Lady Medusa not once, ''but twice'', taking off forty-four health as if it were nothing. Joey Hoofsz, the one who usually rolls ones, critted the leader of a faction twice in a row.
9	* Kensington and Algernon's rescue of Joey in Focus Tower. Joey is rapidly falling down a tower with one hundred floors, separated by twelve feet each, and will certainly die if he hits the floor. At breakneck speeds, the party binds Kensington with rope before having Algernon ''toss Kensington over the stairway railings.'' It isn't enough to have Kensington meet Joey out in the center of the tower...so Kensington teleports with the rope still attached to him, pushing the rope further out and catching Joey. They manage to then swing over to a spot several floors down, finally safe.
10	* Kennsington getting up after being knocked out, killing the creature that just seemingly subdued him and chaining that into five more kills in one turn.
11	--> '''Kaz:''' Especially surprising as he thought he just killed you!
12	--> '''Kensington:''' [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Bitch]], [[BadassBoast I will hurt you]], [[PreAsskickingOneliner and spread your brains across this floor.]]
13	** Even better, this kills the Old Druid, the mook spawner who they had come down the tower to kill, and causes Kaz, the DM at the time, famous for not often breaking character as a narrator, to express how awed he was.
14	--> '''Kaz:''' (''Voice cracking slightly'') Okay that is...that is actual death for this guy. ''Holy Shit.''
15	* Kennsington and Gibnaf saving the club from an exploding Minerelle
16	* The conclusion of the Focus Tower plot.
17	* The conclusion of the Prestige fight.
18	* The finale of the Heroic tier is this. [[spoiler: The group kills Kensington's brother, destroy multiple demons, and beats a ''black dragon'' into submission. They've certainly come a long way from cowering at small corridors and fearing a couple powerful adventurers.]]
19	* The party takes on [[ThatOneBoss the Ivy Heart]] in the AncientTomb, along with some undead enemies. After a rough start and much complaining, everyone curbstomps the thing once they are able to crowd around it, culminating with Kod slamming it into an area where magic lightning kills it.
20	* At the beginning of the battle in Bonerton Joey gets on a roll, getting 3 natural 20's in 4 rolls managing to do 53 damage with a [[BoringButPractical basic melee attack]].
21	* Defeating the powerful dragon Crazy Horse without a single character being killed despite the dragon being 5 levels higher than the party and having 4 digits of HP.
22	* The party during the Thieves's Guild plot solving their respective puzzles. Highlights include Minerelle ripping a man's arm off and using his blood to become him, and Kodrinschreiner outwitting the library portion by ''tricking the librarian into stealing a book HE brought in and accusing him of theft.''
23	* One for Syrg. Before the party attempts to head to Ioun's library, Gibnaf has a talk with his girlfriend, Thalassa...and before they end their talk, Plaz tries to play chicken with Syrg, telling him to do something lovey-dovey and expecting him not to do anything. Syrg's response?
24	-->'''Syrg/Thalassa''': I wuv youuuu, Gibby-poo.
25	-->'''Ironicus''':...Annnnd we're off.
26	-->'''Drakeal''': Excuse me, I need to go hurl uncontrollably.
27	-->'''Syrg''': Never play chicken with Syrg.
28	* Though nothing much comes of it, after 80 episodes, it finally happens: [[TheLeader Joey]] [[TheHeart Hoofsz]] [[FightingYourFriend Vs.]] [[TheLancer Minerelle]] [[TheSmartGuy Orr.]]
29	* During the final fight against Fake Joey Hoofsvz, the real Joey, desperate to prove he's the better version, gets hacked to the floor again and again but just ''will not stay down.'' The first two times he's knocked down to 0 HP, he uses one of his powers to bounce straight back up and deal a huge amount of damage to Fake Joey each time. The ''third'' time Fake Joey smacks him to the ground, seemingly for good this time, he stays down for a while, and Fake Joey continues to attack him even as he lies dying... and then Wolfshirt rolls a natural 20 and Joey gets back up, ''again,'' and does the attack that finally kills Fake Joey for good.
30	--> '''Joey:''' Shut the fuck up, I'm here.
31	** Even better is how Fake Joey dies. Miriam flies at nearly the ''speed of sound'' above the minotaur before divebombing him, causing him to nearly collapse then and there, before Algernon jumps and slices his head half open. Yet ''Fake Joey doesn't stop'', trying to wrangle Algernon off him while also attempting to finish off the Joey. Algernon keeps slicing as a battered Joey finally gets up and prepares the final blow, which Algernon paves the way for by cutting even deeper into Fake Joey, bringing his blade down so far it's inches from Fake Joey's heart. Despite all of this, Fake Joey just keeps attacking, prompting Minerelle to finally get involved and raid the Fake's mind, forcing him to drop his guard by reminding him of his mother's presence just in time for Joey's final two attacks. The first strike involves Joey using his axe as a mallet to slam Algernon's sword into Fake Joey's heart. The second attack ''pushes the sword through the heart and out the fake's back,'' '''finally''' dispatching him.
32	* Everyone, the villains and heroes and unaffiliated parties included, during the Attack on Baphomet Arc. Not only does everyone willingly walk right into a trap Baphomet set (Even Minerelle, who has every reason not to), they manage to kill the cult leader representing Baphomet and nearly end the entire cult then and there, only pulling back when the two parties agree to cut their losses following the deaths of well over half the cult members and, unfortunately, Joey and Minerelle.
33	* Miriam's unflappable calm in Baphomet's realm, while talking to Baphomet, a demon lord comparable to a god in an effort to save Minerelle's soul and return her to life.
34	** Which is nothing compared to what she almost immediately does right as she starts [[spoiler: talking to the spirit of Minerelle]]. A demon lord that is so powerful that he may as well be a god, a creature so strong he [[spoiler: empowered Fake Joey and made him into a OneManArmy encounter able to go toe-to-toe with Miriam, Algernon, and Joey at the same time]] freaks out for a moment that Miriam got into his realm to stop his torture. Miriam proceeds to, in so many words, call him pathetic and pointless, before ''shutting him up.'' In HIS realm.
35	* A series of moments when the party returns to Bonerton the third time. First, Minerelle has a REALLY good plan, scaring the shit out of some cultists by making a decoy of Stefon the Lich, then Miriam tricks a street tough trying to attack the party...and then [[spoiler: [[EnemyMine Francis of all people stabs the street tough]] [[DynamicEntry in the back.]]]]
36	* The plan by the team: [[spoiler: Wreck the Church of the Sleeping Eye while Francis exposes the missing orphans in the Thief district, all while Flattop fires nonlethal shots at corrupt nobles. And it works perfectly. Especially when the Dracolich starts ranting.]]
