==Total Party Incineration==

Playing [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition|DnD5e]], I decided to make a Wild Sorcerer, because Wild Magic Surge. Okay, party consists of a cleric, a thief, a monk, a wizard and me, all level 1, all with 12HP or less. We get to go after some bad guys who are giving a small town some trouble. First battle erupts and all goes well, didn't have time to cast any 1st level spell. We get some info and move on.

Ambush! 7 highwaymen attack us! Second battle!
I use my tides of chaos to get advantage for an attack, if only to force a wild magic roll on my next turn.
Next turn comes in, I charm one of the mooks. Magic Surge time! D100 results in 01 - one surge each turn for the next 10 turns. Off to a great start!

Well, battle ends before I get another turn, but the surges will still happen. The sequence was
* 53 - Immune to alcohol intoxication for 5D6 days (rolled 14)
* 78 - Polymorph on myself. Successful save.
* 44 - Teleport as a bonus action
* 64 - Cast fog cloud centered on myself
* 73 - Random creature becomes poisoned (the thief)
* 75 - I glow with a bright light for 30ft. "JESUS IS COMING FROM THE MIST, BABY!"
Then, I roll 08. 3rd level fireball centered on myself. They all looked at me with a mix of awe and rage. 8D6 damage against a party of level 1 characters. Oh, did I mention that we got so excited at what would happen that the party forgot to move away from me? Because they did. Time to roll damage: 31. Me and the wizard are dead (''if you take your total HP in damage when you're at 0 health, you die instantly. We had 7HP''). Roll Dex save! Cleric fails! Monk fails! Thief succeeds, but he only had 4HP before the blast. [[TPK|Total Party Incineration]] at level 1.

Oh, and the charmed mook survived, because he was outside the blast zone. According to the DM, he is now level 3 and retired after the battle.
