So many stories, so little time...
I'll go for an old favorite first. I must have posted this on a few other threads before, but it's still a classic.
3.0. Near-epic levels. The party has ended up going from Faerun to Rokugan, and got involved in stopping the ghost blood-mage Iuchiban from raising the King of all Oni. One of the characters is a elf rogue who's convinced he's a fighter. Oh, and a cursed ring of nine lives had turned him into a catboy. The party's followed Iuchiban to the Festering Pit, where the ritual's already in process. Fu Leng's mammoth horns are emerging from the muck.
"So," say I, "the ritual could be complete any moment now. It has to be stopped. What are you going to do?"
Wonderboy says "I'm going to pounce on Iuchiban!"
I stare. We all stare.
"I said I'm going to pounce on the ghost. Is that a problem?"
Well, the good news is, having a confused and screaming catboy plunge through his ectoplasm was certainly enough to get Iuchiban's attention. The bad news is, he knew creeping doom. And won initiative. Catboy got skeletonized.
Demiurge out.
