A warlock with repelling blast kept knocking a sorcerer into a pit of bones lit by a hellish necromantic light. This was the deathblow and the DM says, "Only you will see this but the sorcerer screams and his head explodes into a bloody mist."
Warlock: "I will treasure that sight as long as I live."
First session of a new game. Not a much action, mostly introductions, setting up our first quest, etc, but a few good bits (mainly involving the rogue). Not everything has been revealed about all the Ps, but we have Ergdak (described as a purple skinned 7'7" "human-ish" fighter, some sort of custom lineage), Cash (human bard), Hugar Broadsky (half-orc druid), Ymorp (halfling rogue), and Althaea (either elf or half-elf wizard).
PCs are called to a meeting by the agent of an employer for the obligatory "you meet at a tavern" bit. The bartender and the agent have both actually met Ymorp, unlike the rest.
Ymorp *ooc*: "I pitch my voice deeper than normal and order an ale."
Bartender *assuming this is some kind of bit, extra deep voice also*: "Coming right up."
Agent: "Ymorp, is there something wrong with your voice?"
Ymorp: "No, I'm fine. I always talk like this."
DM: "Roll deception." *11* "You hear a bit of a voice crack in there."
Hugar: "Are you supposed to be that short, or is your voice changing because you're still growing or something?"
Ymorp: "I've been told I might still have a few meters in me."
Later, during downtime between the meeting and the heist job we've been hired to do the next day, the DM asks what we're all doing.
Ymorp: "I'm hungry, but I'm also broke so I'm going to steal some &$%."
Hugar *ooc*: "So is Ymorp going to be providing a lot of our excitement in this game?"
Ymorp sneaks up to the cafe patio where Ergdak is dining and swipes a plate of food but doesn't roll high enough on stealth to get away clean. Cue the chase scene with the city guard.
Ymorp: "Can I just fight them?"
Hugar: "A friendly reminder that you are first level and alone."
Cash: "The whole party cringes."
Ymorp: "Okay, can I roll acrobatics to do some parkour stunts over carts and walls and stuff to get away from them? And I'm scarfing down food from the plate as I run."
Hugar: "So we're basically reenacting that opening bit from Aladdin?"
DM: "Yeah, I think that's exactly what we're doing."
Ergdak: "Do I see this? It's right in front of me, right?"
DM: "Yes."
Ergdak: "Okay. I don't do anything. I just watch."
Ymorp eventually escaped but drops most of the food in her flight.
Hugar: "But you did manage to munch down the bacon, so at least that should be a net gain on calories."

DM: "Roll a sleight of hand?"
Player 1: "Oh, ok..." *roll* "um, that's a... 6?"
DM: "Oh goody! I'm about to teach you something about wasps!"
(for those who don't know, wasps can sting you even after they're dead - never touch a dead wasp!)
"...and that covers the educational portion of the session."
(A player cast Create or Destroy Water to try to put out a fire that was caused by another player's Grease spell. Sure. Grease doesn't necessarily create flammable grease according to the letter of the spell, but also by the letter of the spell, it doesn't necessarily not create flammable grease. Since the desire was to make the enemy fall prone and burn, flammable grease was desired... until the waterworks began.)

Ah yes, the chip pan fire. That came up in my second ever session - I threw a waterskin on it, making a small explosion, and then the druid used create water to make a much bigger one. The DM was laughing hysterically and explained that, before we did all the explosions, the enemy had about 4 hp left! We managed to revive the downed party members, who were all incapacitated by the explosions and not the boss!

You can't drown someone with Create Water. If your lungs are containers than your bones are objects. Any Siege monster that attacks you deals double damage because it’s attacking your bones.
