As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The Firbolg is just done with Higglemas' crap in Episode 12. For the first time ever, he stands to his full height of eight feet and threatens him with a powerful spell, demanding an explanation. (It turns out he actually consented to having his memory wiped, but still, it's awesome.)Firbolg: Before this, I had nothing. I can go back to nothing. What I will not have is a body that is not my own. WHY. AM. I. HERE?
- The Thundermen vs. Calhain in Episode 16. Things look pretty dire––they're surrounded by a mob of pissed-off centaurs who think they've stolen the golden apple, along with the actual thief, Calhain, who's set them up to take the fall for his crimes. The Firbolg is tied up. Fitzroy has just woken up from being hit by a curse and is still incredibly weak. So what do they do? Fitzroy starts humming the Thundermen theme song to warn Argo and the Firbolg that he's about to try something, then casts Thunder Wave, pushing the centaurs back. Argo nails Calhain with his sling, stunning him; meanwhile, the Firbolg turns into a bloodhawk to slip his bonds, then easily pulls the pack with the golden apple away from a still-dazed Calhain. Argo, who rolled a nat 20 on an earlier Perception check to notice that Calhain is wearing a rune-embroidered leather glove on his right hand, slashes at his wrist with his rapier and leaves that hand dangling by a flap of skin. Since that gloved hand was the mechanism through which Calhain placed a curse on Fitzroy in the first place, severely damaging it gives Fitzroy a burst of energy––enough to walk up to Calhain, grab his almost-severed hand, enter a Barbarian Sorcerer rage that allows him to read Calhain's mind and uncover his entire plan, drop a terrifying one-liner, and then rip that hand clean off.Fitzroy: You have failed me, Calhain.
- The immediate follow-up to this moment also qualifies. Fitzroy attempts to intimidate Calhain into admitting what he's done to the watching centaurs. His party members decide to help him out; the Firbolg, still in bloodhawk form, drops the pack containing the golden apple in front of Fitzroy and then lands on his outstretched hand. The pack is still on fire from one of Calhain's attacks, so Argo jumps in to cast Shape Water, extinguishing the pack and releasing a cloud of steam. Fitzroy, spattered in blood, looms over a now-sobbing Calhain, holding him by the scruff of his neck (and still holding Calhain's severed hand in his other hand!). And the centaurs' tents are still blazing in the background, lit aflame by Calhain's spell.Calhain (quietly): It was me.Fitzroy: You're gonna have to be louder than that, hun.
- The onlooking centaurs, who minutes ago were howling for the Thundermen's blood, are now stunned silent and terrified. It only took the Thundermen two rounds of combat to reduce this arc's primary antagonist to a sobbing, broken wreck of a man, and frighten the centaurs clean out of their righteous fury. That's pure Awesome right there––and the epic background music certainly doesn't hurt.
- Fitzroy gets yet another one in Episode 16 when he takes a Refuge in Audacity by taking a bite out of one of the two golden apples in front of an astonished group of centaurs that contains the leaders of both herds. He then spits the bite out, drops the apple contemptuously, and tells the two leaders that, since there is now only one apple, they'd better figure out how to negotiate like adults if they don't want to go to war over it.Fitzroy: By the way––it wasn't even that good. It was pretty mealy, if I'm being honest, and a bit bitter. So like... I know you've been wondering what the apple tastes like. I'm here to tell you, not awesome.
- Later on, Fitzroy asks Argo if he retrieved both the apple and the bitten-off part from the floor after Fitzroy's display. When Argo answers that of course he did, Fitzroy casts Mend on the apple and returns it to normal. Voila––one intact golden apple to bring back to Higglemas.
- The tribunal in Episode 21. Fitzroy, Argo, and the Firbolg are instructed to speak for each other so that the members of the Unbroken Chain can decide whether to induct them or inflict Laser-Guided Amnesia about the organization. They succeed, and not two minutes later Fitzroy uses his privilege as a member of the group to demand a tribunal on the Commodore, the senior member present, for betraying Argo's mother to her death. Although Argo has no actual evidence to present, he has a "Eureka!" Moment about the Commodore's motivation. Then Clint rolls deception beforehand, succeeds, and then claims that he can present a letter Shebrie wrote about her suspicions that the Commodore wanted her dead. Argo is completely making up a piece of physical evidence that doesn't exist—but Jackle suddenly claims that he himself has seen this letter. Within the space of one episode the Thundermen have not only saved themselves from a somewhat unpleasant fate but also succeeded in unseating the Commodore from his senior position in the Unbroken Chain. (Too bad that he had a direct line to Grey.)
- "I don't think you know what Chaos has made me capable of, Grey." An unintentional Badass Boast from Fitzroy - he was just stating it as a matter of fact - that even Grey admits sent a chill down his spine.
- Fitzroy forcing Grey to stop poisoning Argo's find with a fantastic Thunderwave.Stop fucking cheating.
- Episode 28, where the Thundermen meet Order, and find out the real reason Order and Chaos are pushing for a war with Grey: the world has been stagnant too long, and it needs to move into its next phase. The Thundermen agree the system is deeply flawed, but are unwilling to charge into a war that will cost countless lives to change it. But it does need to change. So what do they decide to do? Blow it the fuck up. The system on which the world is run is corrupt and unfair, and if they have the potential to defeat a Demon Prince, surely they can dismantle it, right? As Travis puts it, they basically change their game plan from "defeat a demon in war" to "kill capitalism." And who do they decide to get on board to help them? Grey.
- After trying to reason with Grey throughout Episode 29, the Firbolg figures out how to get him to stop throwing things, calm down, and actually talk things through like an adult: treat him like the Psychopathic Manchild he is, and refuse to indulge his tantrum, starting to walk out on him.Firbolg: Enjoy your private war on furniture.
- The Firbolg's Rousing Speech to Althea Song in episode 30 after she talks about the way the machinery of bureaucracy crushes those it's meant to serve and those who serve it.Firbolg: There is one other option Althea Song! And that is to be the one doing the crushing!
- The Firbolg stopping the Commodore from throwing the Thundermen under the bus and having them arrested, with nothing but a good wisdom save, a nat 20, and a well-placed jar of bees.
