I never could figure out a use for Google Wave... and at the end of the year its gone for good.

Ha Ha Ha Ha!    That is spectacular!  I agree not heroic, but SPECTACULAR!!!!!


I'll add one, not about me, but Al playing Dark Green dude in Warrior Knights.  He had the smallest army and constant money/troop problems the whole game and yet, in the final two turns, won it all while the 2 strongest opponents (Ben & Steve) were distracted with killing each other and of coarse finishing off Dan.  So Al pulled out an impressive victory with the least gold and smallest Army.

OK, this one didn't end well...  I don't remember much about the character but we were in a hedge maze trying to reach the bad guy's castle.  I figured I'd levitate up to find the easiest way out to the maze.  Good idea, right?  Well the bad guy was watching and decided to hit me with a 10d6 lightning bolt.  Now at this point I should let everyone know that I was carrying 4 or 5 greek fires, you know--the ones that combust with air?  I think I saved and that made it so I wasn't killed outright, just knocked unconscious--40 ft in the air.  The fall killed me and to add insult to injury (or death in this instance) my backpack blew up in a very intense greek explosion.

And as I recall, Aither did that for Minsk in my campaign at 1st or 2nd level

In another campaign in college,  our front line Fighter was low on hp, and the Cleric (me) and other party members were out of commission.  The last party member, the Rogue, stepped into melee in front of the Fighter, allowing him to back off and drink a potion.  He was battered down to near 0 hp before the Fighter got back to the monster; without the potion's benefit we would all have died.

In one campaign we were 1st level and ambushing a wagon train that was moving through a cave.  I was the MU, and had cast an illusion to hide us all as we waited. 
The wagon train came, and we engaged it; as decided by the leader I hung back to maintain the illusion in case we needed to hide again.  Then one of the wagons popped open and another 5 or 6 men at arms jumped out and now our party, which had been holding our own, was badly outnumbered.  I stepped from concealment, moved up and cast Burning Hands on the new men at arms, burning them all and getting myself surrounded in the process.  The battle continued and I managed to drop 3 of the already weakened men at arms before the rest of the party came to my (now unconscious) aid.

In an earlier campaign, there were 2 of us that were multiclass MUs.  Lo-to-Barik, F/MU had possesion of an item that would cast a Fireball at will, but temporarily sucked out 2 points of CON when you did so.   I was playing Arden, the F/MU/Th with a low CON.

Our party faced what was known ever after as "The Krogering Monster".  Basically immune to attacks except for fire or energy, it was well over 15HD and had 4 attacks per round for something like 8d4 each.  The KM had dropped our front line fighters and Rogues, as Lot-to-Barik and Arden used all their Magic Missiles and Fireballs against it.  It still came on however; Arden knew that Lo-to-Barik's CON was higher, so pulled his sword and stepped forward to hold off the KM.  In 2 rounds he was down, but the time he had bought Lo-to-Barik allowed 2 more Fireballs to be cast; even so it was very close, as Lo-to-Barik had to stand still to use the item twice more, nearly getting killed himself, before the KM finally died.
If the situation had been reversed the outcome would have been different, as Arden's CON wouldn't have supported 10 points' reduction.

Arden could have just fled to save himself, but stayed and died in the defeat of the KM. 

Eugene had the choice of engaging the Vampire or letting it attack the rest of the party (which were engaged with other minions).  He stayed, and luck was with him as he rolled a 20 in two successful rounds, and cut off both arms of the Vampire.  Spell support followed shortly thereafter, and Eugene was carried off the hero.

Spot on!  As I said, the most heroic act I've ever seen, since Ivar could have saved himself but told everyone to get out even as his HP were burned below 15.

I think it's a lost cause, since all that can be said has been said.  At least it seems that way.
