Today I was leading my latest party into battle against Demogorgon.  Cheesy git that I am, I had Jan and Haer Dalis lay a bunch of spike traps on the spot where I knew the Prince of Demons would spawn.  Sure enough, I challenge Demogorgon to combat... he spawns, he gets out a couple words: "YOU FACE DEMOGORGON, PRINCE OF DEM-" before about 200 spiked flechettes impale him to the wall and his last sight is that of my party doubled over in laughter.

I thought it was hilarious that the big D, the goddamn Prince of Demons himself, met such an ignominious end to a rather insignificant group of adventurers.  Probably not the way he was hoping on returning to the Abyss.

Another memorable moment was when fighting the black dragon in Suldenesselar.  My entire party buffs up, gets their weapons and shields ready, and is mentally psyching themselves up for the battle when Aerie pulls a Leroy Jenkins moment and runs up to the dragon solo.  I needn't have worried - one Finger of Death later and the dragon was laying dead at her feet.

Just decided to share those two funny moments I had.  Feel free to knock me for my abuse of traps :happy:  Anyone else have some particularly funny battle stories?

I've had a fair share of my own deaths that left the bad guys doubled over in laughter. Sadly they were so long ago I can't recall any details. It was usually something to the effect of: I enter room->enemy casts Horrid Wilting-> I'm dead...roughly about that fast.



I forget which dragon it was, but I recall running up to the dragon, it calling me a noob, I activated GWW on 4 warriors, and BAM! it's dead in one round! ONE ROUND! I spent like 10 minutes buffing and everything and it has the indecency to die like that!



I once had Viconia Turn Undead and take control of a Lich, I think Odaemaron (sp?), and I had him imprison himself. I giggled for hours.



One time, while soloing a Ranger/Cleric, I was operating the Machine of Globes on the floor above Demogorgon. I was goofing off not paying attention to what I was doing, just activating many things at once. Next thing I know I'm surround by liches... Turn Undead and POOF! chunks go flying everywhere!



Those were the days... I miss the days when my enemies actually scared me, and nothing scared me quite like a lich.

Onehitting Kangaxx with the improved MoD.
Onehitting the Shadow Dragon with the Silver Sword Procc
Losing your complete party to a single lightning bolt in BG1 - Forever.

Also, one thing that happens quite often is Odamaron killing himself with his own Symbol:Death.

Much worse than one-hitting Kangaxx is when you deal 1 damage every 2 rounds and he can't defend himself because you're protected from Undead.

Years back on my first complete run through ToB I was facing the demon wraith in Watcher's Keep. At least I think it was the demon wraith. That humanoid looking enemy on the third level down that has a blur effect on it. My party comprised of a kitless elven fighter grand mastered in two-handed swords, Keldorn, Cernd, Nalia and Aerie. I was still unfamiliar with BG2's nuances at the time, so my group was getting creamed. All three casters were stunned. Keldorn hacked away at the wraith's minions to defend Aerie and Nalia while my elf made a beeline for the wraith itself.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do any damage. I had him wielding the silver sword; which the wraith was immune too. He was swinging away while under an Improved Haste effect and constantly shouting about the weapon having no effect. Then out of nowhere the wraith dies. It failed a save against the blade's vorpal effect and keeled over dead despite taking *zero* damage. Good times.

It probably died in one round because you had spent 10 minutes buffing.

Killing Bodhi so quickly she can't escape the first encounter.
Killing Demogorgon for the first time with cheese traps.
Predicting where a horde of Gibberlings spawn is funny, especially when you lay some traps beforehand.

And this is were i failed , miserably. SCS is brutal.

And this one is just here because it's hilarious.

Berserker.

Silver Sword.

Failed Save.

Firkraag dead in one attack, his circle never even went red.

Sorcerer with Vecna, AoP, and HLAs against just about everything. Who needs protection spells?

... um ... I don't get it. Perhaps if you added a floating red arrow?   <_<    

OK I'm hoping one of these smileys conveys good natured stupidity, or something ..

EDIT oh wait, the damn smileys aren't even animated. D'oh!

Wait, what happens if you kill Bohdi in the first encounter?  Does it break the game?

[Seagloom]

It would be hilarious if Biff the Understudy was used to replace Bodhi in that instance. I had no idea that was even possible.

It doesn't matter. Her dialog was triggered, which advances the quest and sets the required variables in the background. Killing a creature in one place doesn't prevent another creature (the later Bodhi) from spawning in a different area, unless it's explicitely scripted that way.
If you could kill her before delivering her lines, maybe you could stop the game from marking the quest as complete in order to talk to Aran again. It's probably not possible in the traditional way though, usually creatures that need to do something before death (Bodhi, trolls, Imoen in chapter 1,...) are not allowed to drop below 1 HP. Shapeshift to Mind Flayer might work for this since the trigger is most likely HP-based, but that way you could kill her in a different way.

Does the "I will stand in Cloudkill until I die" AI bug count? XD (Used it to kill Gorion, Demogorgon and many others.)

[HoonDing]

Wild surges can be funny.

I've been replaying BG 1 for a few days now.  I had completely forgotten how deadly one lightning bolt could be...  no one was lost forever (ouch), but I reloaded anyway.

When I saw the one about Wild Magic I expected a cow falling on someone.  Still got a good laugh though.

*Ascension Spoilers*

I forgot about this one.  I once had Viconia Turn Undead while at the Throne, I took control of Bodhi and she killed Irenicus for me   .

[zhokar]

Lightning killed my BG1 party on level 1 when I met Silke. I placed my party poorly, she shot her lightning accross the street instead of down the road. Ya, that pretty much sums it up.

[wise grimwald]

I had to laugh when my positioning caused her to kill herself with her own lightning bolt.

[Taura-Tierno]

Chromatic orb on Firkraag without greater malison or lower resistance. Dead in an instant.
