"Talrune's stroll"
My own 5e group has a character in a more diehard campiegn in which character are dying left and right. Except for our Dragonborn Sorcerer with the worst stat rolls of the whole party three times over. The party as a whole averages three sheets per person and his is a first character.
That Sorcerer by the name Talrune had somehow convinced a (relatively) friendly Sucubus to be his wife and not kill him for sun-snu. When their child was layed (The GM decided that the child would be in an egg) the egg went through a rather ridiculous mishandling that resulted in it being launched out of town.
Talrune is a very proud Character and decided he would retrieve his child from the death forest (as we had dubbed the woods in which every encounter to this point had been close to TPK) solo. The rest of the table fails to notice Talrune is leaving and cannot help.
Talrune proceeds to solo a pair of ogres, a herd of seven Bulettes, and a Mature blind green dragon that mistook him for its mate. All without dropping to less than half health
Such blatant badassery is now regarded by the party as "Talrune's Stroll" and is referenced whenever someone tries to split the party or think's an encounter is unfair.
"Do you think you can copy Talrune's Stroll" and "It's not as bad as His Stroll"
Whenever another player gets bad rolls I always look over and say "Better than Talrune and look what he did."
