I'm curious what unusual and unexpected things groups characters have done. In the game I'm running, the party's cleric decided to announce their arrival at the Blue Nixie. "Prepare to be boarded" or some such thing. Of course the same cleric wins initiative when the first of the thugs tries to fire on the party and casts "concealling mist". By the time the spell ended, they were facing all of the thugs. They survived, but decided the horse size bug was going to be to much after the bard stuck his head down in the hold and saw it. Of course, Lavinia can't find the number for the local Orkin man so she is going to send them in for pest control, but they don't know that yet.
