Fighting the boss we've been pursuing for some time, having stealthily boarded his armored river ship and very unstealthily attacked him.
DM: "That's 30 necrotic damage to you, Serena." Serena: "Fun fact, Aasimar are resistant to necrotic damage." DM: "Oh. Bah!"
Nu: "My kids turn!" [Nu refers to summons as their "kids," in this case a swarm of velociraptors] DM: "Yes, and they are afraid." Nu: "Six them are." Serena: "There are ten more!"
Nu: "And I'll play my flute." *rolls 2-1=1 performance* Nu: "Uhoh. Oh, I had it backwards."
DM: "Ferrin's turn!" Serena: "Ferrin's been having such an exciting battle this session." Ferrin: "He's having the best nap of his life!"
DM: "You are invisible. Pixies cannot see you." Nu: "But what if I'm screaming?"
Ferrin: "How many rounds do I need to be unconscious for it to count as a short rest?"
DM: "Nu, your turn! What does the giant flying invisible pink octopus do?" Ferrin: "That's a lot of adjectives."
After a battle that lasted a session and a half with the boss going into a second freaky giant spider-ish abomination phase before fleeing via teleport.
Serena: "I'm screaming angrily at the glowing bastard and the world in general." Ferrin: "Imagine being conscious and being able to do stuff."
Serena: "I want to search the wreckage for that chest I saw in there." DM: "Roll Investigation." *1* Serena: "Everything's really wet!"
===
Serena: "Wait, you're saying the dwarf went upside down, her skirts flipped down, she turned inside out and became a triton?" Ferrin: "Not inside out, just upside down." Serena: "Sure. Because that totally explains it. How does that biology even work?"
===
Serena: "Is that bed a pet mimic?"
===
Nu: "I kick the drunk guy" *1* DM: "He hugs you." Nu: "I do not like this."
===
Pin: "Okay then, if there's nothing to do for me here I'm leaving." Serena: "Don't get in trouble." Pin: "Never do!" Serena: "That's an abject falsehood!"
===
Serena: "Can't you do that with druidcraft?" Nu: "Why would I have druidcraft?"
===
Pin: "Hold this bag and don't ask questions." Nu: "As soon as he leaves I squish the bag a bit to make sure there's nothing alive in it."
===
DM: "Serena, he looks straight at you." Serena: "Do I have to make a saving throw?" DM: "Yes!"

It's explained that we are being sent to retrieve a magic violin from the tomb of a necromancer bard that could control undead with his music.
Ferrin: "So it's the crypt of the necrodancer?" DM: "I hate you a little."
Druid (OOC): "I'd like to, over my short rest, pull one of the bones out of the wyvern, sharpen it to a point, tip it with its own venom, light it on fire, and stab Rogue with it."
Me, the DM: "What the hell?"
Rogue: "Yeah, What the hell?"
Fighter: "Yeah, What he- actually I want to see this go down. Rogue owes me money"
Me and Rogue, at the same time: "What the hell?!"

Fun fact, most people that say "blood runs thicker than water" use it to mean the exact opposite of the original meaning. It refers to blood spilled among fellow soldiers who fight alongside each other being more meaningful than the shared water of the same womb that siblings are born from.

Player 2: "Oh we're robbing this lady."
Fortuneteller: "Wha-" ::Proceeds to get sucker-punched by a bugbear::
This bugbear didn't really think about how that fortuneteller going down might fling the entire Deck of Many Fates out across the room, but hey, the DM said he was having trouble coming up with a plot...

Joined a one-shot a few days ago. Level three characters, some of the other players were totally new to the game. I was a Tiefling bard. I’ve played a thousand times before- and DMed- but my brain seemed to convince itself that I knew no DND strategies. Here’s how it went.
In the very beginning, we had to get to an island. We first tried using a shoe as a boat, which involved me persuading the merchant to give us a shoe even though we had no money. We acquired the shoe, but didn’t think ahead how all five of us were going to fit into an object that the wizard had cast a simple enlarging spell on. (The shoe only doubled in size.)
After arguing pointlessly for a bit, the cleric finally suggested we just get a boat from a nearby shipyard. The DM was disappointed in us.
Once on the island that had a passageway underground and leading to the under-city, our party went to investigate some crime. We assumed the sewer tunnels we had to go through were booby trapped, but to make sure, the dwarf suggested we send someone ahead to just see what would happen.
Dwarf: Alright, who’s expendable?
Human: Me!
Wizard: What are you, again?
Human: A fighter.
Wizard: Oh yeah, go ahead.
Luckily for the poor human, my common sense kicked in and I suggested the cleric cast Find Traps.
Player1: She doesn't really pay much attention to her hair.
DM: Most people will notice when their hair starts falling out in clumps.
Player1: Yeah, but she's not really attached to her hair.
Player2: Well, not any more.

The acolyte started sobbing and tried to douse the fire while the rest of the party slowly backed away.
