It was back in the 2nd ed days, when they were called Sons of Kyuss and Lightning Bolts still rebounded. I played a plucky yet extremely clumsy wizard in a town under siege by unpleasantness, notably the Kyuss guys. Even worse, the attack had an effect on the world itself, warping it with wild magic. My character sensed this and took what he thought was the logical action (still remember my quote, too, "The very warping of the fabric of reality is MORE than enough for me to leave.")Unfortunately, I got separated from my party and ended up in an abandoned building. A half dozen horrible rolls scuttled my attempts to snipe at some incoming Kyuss from above, so I got mauled and infected. With the Kyuss upon me, undead doom soon to come, and no allies on my side, I did the only thing I could. I fired a lightning bolt at the Kyuss at an angle that would have it rebound back into me! After all, if I took the electric damage, so would the worms! Amazingly, it worked. I killed the Kyuss, survived the lightning bolt myself barely, and the DM ruled that I atomized the worms. He later described it as one of the craziest things he ever saw a player do.</blockquote>
