"Blade with whom I have lived, blade with whom I now die. Serve right and justice one last time! Seek one last heart of evil, still one last life of pain. Cut well old friend, and then... farewell!"
- Villainous awesome: Ommadon leaving the council of the Great Antiquity on Bryagh's neck, swearing on his red crown to his brothers that he will carry out his nefarious projects for humanity. Then pointing his sword at the sky to catch a red lightning to teleport himself and Bryagh away. Now that's an exit!
- The Flashback showing Sir Orrin's first battle against Bryagh, to save the egg that would hatch into baby Gorbash. It ends with the knight using his gauntlet and Bryagh's mouth's electrostatics to ignite the dragon's inner gas. It took Bryagh seven years to recover.
- When the wolf Aragh first appears and manages to single handedly save Sir Orrin and Peter from the Sandmirks' Brown Note by running through the countless horde to get straight to their queen, killing her by throwing her off a cliff, along with himself! He survives of course (mostly because he's technically dead at the moment), and the Sandmirks disperse and run away.
- Peter (in the dragon body of Gorbash) and Smrgol battling the Ogre of Gormley Keep. Peter has no combat experience, charges like a fool and is quickly overwhelmed, and it's up to the old Smrgol to defeat the monstrous gatekeeper at the cost of his life, throwing him over the ledge of his castle after blinding him.
- With the party slain and Peter/Gorbash under a sleeping spell, Sir Orrin Neville-Smythe, the Knight In Shining Armour, is the last one standing at the end, facing down Bryagh. He holds his sword up and recites a Badass Creed. He then gets set on FIRE, takes it like a badass and throws his now-flaming sword into the heart of the dragon, who burns to death in his own flames. Then Orrin dies alongside the rest of his slain party and newfound love. The scene oozes Dying Moment of Awesome.
- No-nonsense Real World author Peter Dickinson has been trapped in a fantasy world for quite some time (in the body of a dragon no less), forced into a quest to defeat the Big Bad wizard, Ommadon (voiced by Darth Vader / Thulsa Doom himself, James Earl Jones). Just when it seems the evil wizard has defeated the heroic band and all hope is lost, Peter (in mortal form) appears before him, polishing his glasses nonchalantly. While Ommadon transforms into a Hydra and attempts to intimidate him with threats of Biblical feats of magic, Peter defiantly refutes all magic as illogical and impossible. For every incantation Ommadon recites, Peter literally talks him to death
, countering with proven scientific disciplines (in alphabetical order no less), eventually having the Red Wizard desperate and on the ropes:Ommadon: Come devils, witches, demons, ogres, trolls, sandmirks, harpies, ghouls, sorcerers!Peter Dickinson: Come algebra, anatomy, astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, geometry, mathematics, meteorology, mineralology, oceanography, paleontology, physics, psychology, sociology, trigonometry, and zoology!- Yes, he literally defeated magic with science!
- The final shot of Carolinus and Gorbash flying over the modern city.
