Not too far into my first campaign, I was playing a Hexblade warlock with a level of sorcerer for some extra spell slots / CC spells. We get ambushed by some bad guy guards trying to rob us. As they’re stalking us in the bazaar we were shopping in, the initiative rolls begin out of nowhere.
Roll a nat 20 for initiative, and end up going first. I cast grease and catch them all in it. 4/5 guards fail the save and fall prone. The 5th guard goes second and shoots an arrow at me, does a few damage. I react with hellish rebuke. It ends up engulfing all of the guards, the hay cart next to them, and half the bazaar into a raging grease fire inferno.
I learned to be more aware of my surroundings after that day.

“Local bandit gang tries to rob wandering mercenary group, public market burned to the ground.”
Ahem, returning to my old character:
This is why I prefer to stay out of mouths of gossipmongers.
… that and… an intimate death is a more respectable death… and a bit more precise…
