Immersed in Lava - Have you ever seen it?

The last big session I led, one of the characters (actually, the long standing NPC) not only took the 20d6 damage for being immersed in lava, but also took the 20d6 damage for falling 200ft before he hit it!!

Best part of it all is that he lived.
This begs elaboration.

That was hot water and mud and steam. I don't believe there was any actual lava in WPM.

Well, I guess if you beg... :D

It was part of the long standing game I run. In fact, it was the climax to the groups latest adventure: the group had been fighting a fanatical fire-based cult and had finally come to their lair which was, obviously, a volcano.

The leader of said cult (the BBEG), was a high level advanced noble salamander cleric with a number of feats taken from savage species - most notably the Multigrab feats and the Fling Enemy feat.

As everyone knows, epic fights against major villains in a volcano -must- take place on ledges, precipices, or rocky outcroppings that hang over the magma reservoir below.

(Doesn't take a genius to figure this out...)

The salamander hit the NPC with his tail attack, grappled him easily and then, while fighting the rest of the party with its longspear, flung the NPC over the side thus causing 20d6 of falling damage (they were very high up). On the NPC's turn, he took the 20d6 for lava immersion, drank the potion of fly he had and started to ascend.

(I'd talk about the 10d6 damage a character takes the round after immersion but he was healed by then by the party cleric so it doesn't count)

He lived partly because I rolled low damage and party because of high hit points (he had been untouched up until that point).

Whatever you do, don't get your legs chopped off while jumping over a lava river. You'll get stuck on the lava-river bank, catch on fire, and, well, you know the story.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry, had to be done).

I found a used Jedi next to some lava this one time. But he was missing all his arms and legs, had only a single artificial appendage left and possessed a bad attitude. So I left him there. Does that count?
 

I once teleported our party to follow a fleeing red dragon. Little did I realize hat its lair was teh crater of a volcano, and we all ended up on the floor of the crater, submerged in lava. We got outm as we were all 19th-22nd level, but boy did it hurt for a while.
 


MarauderX has us facing a dragon and his minions scattered about various islands in a lake of magma (not lava, because it is still underground). Now, we're there to talk to the dragon, but the minions might want to fight.

Prot Fire will give maybe two rounds of protection if the Air Walk is dispelled. Hmm, maybe should stick to eagle form because wildshape can't be dispelled.
