Tonight, my warlock character killed a very dangerous opponent by sheer luck... but it looked damn cool.
My party and I (all 10th level) uncovered a Malarite plot to take control over an Uthgardt tribe (Forgotten Realms) and confronted a disguised Malarite shaman in front of the village elders. We accused him of plotting to murder the tribe's eldest shaman with some doppelgangers, and he returned the accusation right at us. However, at some point, he realized that he was cornered and losing the verbal battle, and changed shape into a form similar to that of Malar himself (an ape-like beast). My character reacted before he had the chance to flee, and hit him with an Maximized Empowered eldritch blast. The fake shaman then jumped onto the pillars, climbed them, and jumped out through a hole in the roof.
My warlock flew up, only to see him change form again into a dire bat. And then... I scored a critical hit on my second Maximized Empowered eldritch blast. The shaman was no more.
It was a great moment, even though it was pure luck on my part. The warlock doesn't have very many options at his disposal, but it feels very satisfying being able to use his abilities to the max. I was having a blast.
