During a mini heist/assassination, my players teamed up with some NPC's to kill a mad merchant mayor. Before the mission began, they made a plan: half the party would distract the mayor, half the party would sneak inside to block off any escape routes, and the NPC's would wait outside until the players were in position. After a long discussion, they decided that the code word to summon their backup would be YEET. Of course, about 2 minutes into the mission, the rogue yelled YEET, having completely forgotten that it was the secret signal... I will always cherish their look of confusion turn to horror as I described their plan falling to pieces. Didn't kill everyone, but it certainly came close!

My wife is playing an elderly aarakocra artificer with a plague doctor motif, and we also got an lung dragon style dragonborn who's a sorcerer with a katana, a firbolg wizard who's an ex pirate, and a deaf mindflayer rogue who can only communicate telepathically. We only just got to the part where we're restoring the pub, which we've dubbed "ghost fish tavern," with our artificer setting up a clinic upstairs. We've already had several great shenanigans, I could go on for a while but i'm gonna myself before I rant too much XP

I really don't want to be 'that guy', but you said he was paralysed while evading the disintegration rays. When you are paralysed you automatically fail dex saving throws and the disintegration ray requires a dex save to evade it. If there was another way your player was able to dodge the rays while paralyzed i think it would have been nice to explain it, so we might use the trick in our campaigns too. :D

If Blaine only rolled rays such as slow, fear, sleep and charm over and over again, never rolling for death/disintegration/enervation (which actually does damage), then it is plausible to never get killed. although with him being paralyzed, depending on the distance, the beholder could just have hovered over to him and bit him a couple of times (as soon as it hit it would have auto crit, and the rest of the party was obviously fleeing, so they wouldn't be a concern to xanathar)

I think Dingo still has you beat, via releasing the Terrasque on the world with drunken karaoke. Speaking of... There is a thought among some that the "there is only one Terrasque" specifically applies to a world by world basis. So what would happen if a bunch of heroes across various worlds just Wished their world's Terrasque away to some other world or plane or something? Might there be some world somewhere (likely a bit pissed off) that has a few dozen Terrasques just rampaging around, fighting each other occasionally for dominance, etc, along with all the other high level nightmares that parties have wished away in the past (perhaps this world has the unlucky designation of just being a "default place" to wish something away to if no real target location is specified by wishes)? What if you sent your high level party to THAT world for a bit? Basically a mad max world with kaiju (Terrasques and other fun) everywhere.

There's a leak in the room." Player 1 decided to put a pan underneath it DM: You died. Player 2 tried plugging it up with some spare cloth. DM: You died. Player 3 stuck their finger in it. DM: You died. After everyone started dropping like flies, they asked the DM what just happened because none of it seemed to make sense. It turned out that the DM pronounced the word "lich" the same way as "leak." Once that had been cleared up, they started over from that spot but not before they took a minute to stop laughing.
