Damn. Burning a dragon that breathes ice. That takes some skill.

If I need to try and draw a comparison, the only one I can think of would be my solo-ing of a Dungeon. Not a dungeon boss, but the entire dungeon itself, while my comrades just kinda... watched. This was on my first character, and the one I was most attached to: Klydebern, the Soup Cleric.

So this dungeon, it's based entirely off of this video namewise, I believe our DM called it the "Tomb of Royco." The fodder enemies all looked like the guy in the video (the one singing.) And one of them hit me with its ranged attack, which caused me to start resembling him. I got the chin, which our DM said added +1 to charisma, "since it's so goddamn sexy." Oh well, right? So we beat up the goons, and one of them drops a box with the word "soup" hastily scribbled onto it. Klydebern keeps it. Next room, there's this giant chasm, with a statue at the other end of it. A lever is pulled, and the chasm is filled to the brim with soup. My cleric swims across the lake of soup, to this statue, and offers it the box. The statue is pleased with the offering, and it transformed the box into a cursed weapon: The Sword of Royco. (Most of this was our DM writing third party stuff in.) The sword dealt slashing damage, along with soup damage (Soup damage was an effective element against all enemies, except constructs, Undead, and otherwise bloodless creatures.) Lorewise, it turned what blood it touched into soup. Said soup could be consumed to heal 1d6 HP, but a will save was required in order to avoid physical deformity into... that guy. There was also this very large sum of gold I found, so I was also loaded.

Finally, we arrive at the Dungeon Boss. He also had a Sword of Royco, and he challenged us. I alone accepted his challenge, stripping off my armor as a duel ensued. (We were both shirtless.) I emerged on top, and Klydebern went on to become the greatest cleric I've ever known: playing the role of damage dealer, tank (I invested in some plate armor.) and the party healer. Klydebern did go on to fight more mighty enemies.. if it is of interest, I could share them as you do your tales of Grigor Armstrong.
