Here's two great stories.
So, during Dungeons and Dragons 5e with El(the GM), Gin and DL, my character entered a cave. There were three wolves in the cave, starting an encounter. They all got top Initiative rolls. One goes to attack me...And misses by an INCH, saving me a brutal flaying. The other two go to attack me...And reveal they are in chains. Gin saves my butt by giving up a few days of rations, and I don't take a single point of damage throughout the encounter.
Our next obstacle? A stream with a water overflow trap. Gin and the wizard of the team, Hugo(played by DL), go over there. They make a DEX save and, in failing that, a STR save to not get washed away. Hugo manages their DEX roll and gets back over to the safe footing. Gin, however, gets washed away after failing both saves, taking 4 damage. He climbs up, and after some time, tries again. He takes 2 more damage in failing the DEX save, but manages the STR save.
