  • Anytime anyone rolls a plot or character relevant natural 20
  • When fighting Strahd and his werewolves in Krezk the party pretty much gets trashed but Diath plays and wins (or at least doesn't lose) a game of cat and mouse with Strahd, including jumping on his nightmare while it's in the air and managing not to get mind controlled. Mind you he's only fifth level at this time.
  • Diath, Paultin and Strix have a joint one when they Molotov cocktail an evil walking tree. Diath delivers it, climbing said evil tree to do it, Strix lights it from afar and Paultin provided both the wine filled bottle and the curse that made it so effective.
    • That whole fight was one for the whole team.
  • During episode 24 the crew, minus Paultin and plus Dee and a pair of wolf hunters, are fighting a pack of wolves and two witches. Evelyn gets taken out, Strix takes down both witches (while their brooms beat Diath into unconsciousness) who are then, along with the remaining wolves, incinerated by a fireball from Strix.
  • The Mad Mage/Mordenkainen taking out six gargoyles and damaging two others with one spell.
  • Strix weaponizing the smell of waffles in order to get Hooty McHootface, her owl bear, to attack a bunch of werewolves.. Also counts as a Funny Moment.
  • In episode 44 the team pets have an accidental one when, by pure accident, they destroy the Colossus the Fire Giants have been building.
  • When the party is trapped in the fire giant fortress of Ironslag and he's the only party member who's conscious Diath goes into a zone of magical darkness, somehow finds Strix and Evelyn and drags them both out of it. Keep in mind that he has a strength of 8.
  • Diath scaling a palisade wall by getting on Waffles' back, having her charge down a hill and leap onto the wall, then jumping to the top of it at the peak of her jump. It earns him an OOC fist bump.
  • The ease in which Evelyn willingly sacrifices herself for her friends. It wasn't easy for her to do so much as easy for her to chose.
  • When Nate rolls a natural 20 for Paultin to save Evelyn from the Soul Monger.
  • Strix standing up to her brother for Diath claiming the Waffle Crew as her family for the first time.
  • Bag of Nails, just... Bag of Nails
  • Episode 86:
    • Diath: when the balhannoth grabs Strix in a tentacle and pulls her away, he runs up a wall, leaps off, slashes with Gutter and (thanks to his new 'Human Determination' feat) rolls a crit causing him to do 58 points of damage to this thing and making it drop Strix. Keep in mind that he only had 13 hp thanks to the death curse.
    • Paultin: flies up to the balhannoth in a rage after Evelyn and Simon's deaths and kills the balhannoth with a thunderwave.
    • Evelyn: kills the Soul Monger (basically an unborn god) by turning into a sun inside of it, ending the death curse once and for all.
  • After Evelyn dies the remaining Waffle Crew run into Death itself. Paultin manages to successfully run a con on it.
  • Magnus's monologue in episode 97 is one from the perspective that he did what no one else could do for Diath. Ask him how he was doing after Ironslag and the later encounter with the Dwarven emissaries, and giving him some good advice. Also crosses into Tear Jerker and Heartwarming Moment.
    • Especially so if you've listened to the Adventure Zone and know that Magnus accidentally got Phandalin destroyed.
    Magnus: Let me tell you something that I wish I had known when I was young. You don’t balance the scales. You can never save enough people to feel ok with it. Every day is a new day to do good. Don’t do good out of a feeling of debt or guilt. Do good because you are still alive and you can. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. Part of who you are is what you did, and that will never change. And your friends love you, and they’ll accept that. You are who you are. This isn’t separate from this, it’s a part of you and, if they love you, they’ll accept you. That’s what I wish I had known when I was your age.
  • Metawise there's Chris Perkins' ability to tell such an engaging story without railroading any of the players.
