My first convention game (RQ1, when it was the only Glorantha RPG in town) in the Blind King's Palace in Pavis, where a Dragonsnail got "trip and fall down". The GM looked at Steve Perrin, who just happened to be in the room at the time, and Steve said "sure, why not?"

I managed to

A) Slide under the 'snail as it was righting itself
B) Hold my sword straight up
C) Let it impale itself (rolled a crit)
D) Roll well (especially with the 'snail's extra damage dice)
E) Kill it in one shot
E) get out from under before the snail crushed me

Ah, thre heady experience of vicariously cheating death.
