I couldn't find a 'glory' thread though we already have a 'gory' thread (ie obituaries), but I had to give props to a player for a timely crit.
Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Chief Ripnugget.
Down to 5hpts after being hit with a spirited charge by Ripnugget on Clawfoot who kept riding by of course, Franjak Shriikirri-Quah in a berserk rage climbed a pillar, leaped at the chief and smashed him with an earth breaker for 47pts of damage. It was a series of three amazing rolls for the climb and jump (over 20 totals) and the crit..nat 20, nat 16 (+9) and Ripnugget became just a goblin with a cheap trinket on his head in a pool of his own blood.
Lianus Undergallows is an unsavory halfling with a scruffy goatee and an eyepatch. Though the party often wonders why they bother to keep him on board (he just seems to tag along making a nuisance of himself), he manages to carry the day with a well-thrown tanglefoot bag in a fight against a deadly quasit witch deep underground. The weight of the bag and the sticky adhesive proves to be more than enough to eliminate the little demon's greatest advantage. Squirming pitifully on the ground, she falls easy prey to a righteous beheading by the paladin.
(The funny thing is, the player is a greedy scoundrel who is the first on the scene to loot the dead and collect treasure. We all thought he was a miserable miser, but now we know what he spends all his gold on. He kind of reminds me of a Pathfinder version of Batman with his utility belt.)

HereYeah, but that's not necessarily glory...
Hooray for gibbering piles of badguy!
GLORY!
Yes, I first read what he said wrong, without looking at the spoiler. After I posted, I read his whole post again and found out I was completely off track, so I deleted my post ;p I thought I did it fast enough that nobody would see it, but I was wrong :)

The player who plays Franjak understands barbarians...though down to less than ten hit points, and having seen the goblin dogs in the exercise yard earlier, heads from the throne room to the yard and pulverizes three of the four by himself.
One of the party members did follow him and finish that last one, but it was some pretty cool action IMHO.
The most glorious thing my players have done is spending about 2 hours 'fishing' for zombies in the Catacombs of Wrath. That was slightly irritating for me, but as long as everyone has fun, I'm happy.
