I’ll start. My players were fighting some Lizard Folk that had camped out in front of the tomb they were trying to get in and they for once used some strategy! The Paladin used her bag of tricks to summon a Baboon to distract the Lizards while the party snuck up the hill and hid in some tall grass. after the Lizard folk started attacking the baboon the wizard used levitate to lift one of the lizards up 20 ft. The Druid knocked on of the other lizards prone and the wizard dropped the levitating Lizard on top of the prone one. Using a falling object damage chart i found somewhere we and falling damage from the dmg we did some quick shitty math and figured out that the fall and killed both of them.

    We were exploring the Lost Mine of Phandelver and to into a particularly nasty fight. With one AoE attack the (mini)-“boss” knocked me and our wizard out and put the other two at 1 and 2 HP respectively. Knight quaffed a potion of invisibility, picked up the wizard and tried to ram open a door to a neighboring room. The door didn’t budge and he took 1 HP damage, dropping both to the floor and ending his invisibility. The halfling kicked me down the stairs and made it seem like she stumbled and we were now all out of action. The enemies did not pursue but we were all on death’s door. Luckily she remembered that I was carrying a healing potion. She gave it to me and I managed to heal everyone up to a reasonable degree.

    Slinking away from that room our knight thought “oh let’s go exploring, we gonna have to do that anyway at some point” and alerted another horde of monsters to our presence. Less than a handful of turns later the party was again down to a total of 1 HP and at least one of us NOT doing well with his death saving throws. But halfling came in clutch once more and we actually survived.

    DM later asked us if this was too much. Our consensus was that it was really exciting but if we had died then our answer would probably be different.
