Our entire party gets to have a hand in killing the final boss, Hitler. So we go around the party:

Elf Player: I go with my standard dagger to the throat.
Druid Player: I use Wild Shape to transform into a German Shepherd and start attacking him.
DM: *as Hitler* Blondi!? 
Cleric Player: I use Sound Burst to echo the voices of 6 million Bernie Sanders’ screaming at him for charging too much for salami.

This continues for a few more turns and allies.

DM: As Hitler dies, he whispers “I’ve failed you, leader.” As he fades away, you see a vortex of dark magic appears in the middle of the chamber, eminating with pure malace. Emerging is a girl wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. She was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. As you all stare at her, she puts up her middle finger at you, and the world goes black. You see Shia Labeouf stand and begin to clap. 

You all wake up in the sewer from the beginning of the session. This was all a dream.

Fin. 

DM: The man behind the curtain finally stands up, after all of his allies are defeated. He rips off his disguise to reveal a plain man with a tiny little mustache.
Party: ……
DM: It’s Hitler!

Mid boss-battle, which is imostly narrative.

Our Elf Barbarian had previously cut the One Ring off of Sauron’s hand, and this round a huge, red eye appears in the middle of the room. 
Cleric Player: I create 40 gallons of water on the Eye of Sauron.
DM: You hear a booming voice scream “MY BRAND” and the eye sizzles out of existence.

Still in the boss battle, which is mostly narrative.

Cleric Player: So I’m fighting with Goku, and Krillan walks in. He goes “Man Goku, there’s a GREAT sandwich place downstairs!” and at that moment, Frieza turns and launches Krillan into the air, forcing him to explode. I use obscuring mist and all you see in the middle is a yellow glow.

DM: Can I take over? 
Cleric: Yeah it’s cool go for it.
DM: Thanks. *as Goku* FRIEZA I DON’T KNOW WHAT HOLE YOU CAME OUT OF BUT I’M ABOUT TO SEND YOU BACK TO IT. *he goes Super Saiyan*

The party, the allies, and the enemies are all fighting in the throne room. The fight is mostly narrative, rather than based on rolls.

Druid Player: Toph and I start whispering. She describes something to me, and then I use Wild Shape to give myself the appearance of Azula’s Father.
Azula: *frozen in shock* Fa-father?
Druid Player: Toph uses her being stunned, and creates shackles from the granite floor around all four of her limbs, leaving her unable to lightning bend. 

We’re approaching what appears to be the boss battle. The ‘leader’ is sitting in a throne behind a curtain, but his final protective forces are teleporting in one by one.

So far: Boba Fett, Megatron, Frieza, The Joker, Sauron, Skeletor, Azula, The Villain from the Last Crusade, Walter White, and Corypheus.

BUT WHO IS ON THE THRONE?????

DM: Toph holds up her hands- “I hear three people approaching.” The figures appear and you hear “Prepare for trouble- and make it double!”
Players: NO NO NO NO
DM: The renegade option pops up- Shepard and Masterchief both hit it and you hear two gunshots. When the smoke clears, Jessie and James are lying dead on the floor.
Elf Player: Where’s Meowth!?
DM: He and Happy are slap-fighting on the floor.

Elf Player: I stare at all the beautiful tough men here.
Druid: I leave Toph with my badger and run to Faryn (the elf)… You need me to wingman?
Elf: I don’t even know who I need help wing-manning with!
Druid: All of them? I’ll get started.

Indiana and Han are leaning against a wall facing each other, trying to see the resemblance. Shepard and Masterchief are trying to one-up each other with war stories.

After Han Solo is released from the cell, he walks over to the Elf Barbarian-

Han: Oh hello there, my name is Han *kisses hand*
Elf Barbarian: I role intimidate to keep my cool and seem awesome and scary. *rolls low*… I blush. 
Druid Player: I intimidate him because he’s hitting on my friend. *rolls high* I CLIMB UP HIM AND GRAB HIS LAPEL.
Han: Why is this child climbing me?
Druid: I AM NO CHILD, I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. *slaps him*

We arrive at the Dungeon, and approach the eighth cell of allies. 

DM: In the very last cell, you hear a young girl’s voice.
Druid Player: IS IT TOPH? CAN IT BE TOPH? LET IT BE TOPH. I run to the cell.
DM: It’s a small girl with bangs over her eyes, and green clothing on. She isn’t wearing shoes.
Ranger: Oh look, another halfling.
Toph: … I’m a child.
Ranger: Oh.
Druid: Sooooo… you’re a kid? Why are you in a cell? What kind of stuff do you like?
Toph: I like Earth bending… and Earth Bending… And… Earth bending? 
Druid: Do you like animals? I have a badger.
Toph: Like a badgermole!? Can I meet him?!
Druid: No… like a badger. Moles are different things. 
Toph: No, I mean a badgermole.
Druid: Badger… Mole.
Toph: Yeah, badgermole.
Druid: No, there’s a space between the words.
Ranger: No, space is where the dragon people with cool guns came from. 

See who was in the seventh cell here

We arrive at the Dungeon, and approach the seventh cell of allies. 

A guy in green armor is kneeling on the gound, looking stoic, with his gun over his shoulder. 
Ranger: I let him out and then knock on his helmet.
DM: A green holo-visor appears to protect him. He says “Thanks for freeing me, time to finish this fight.”

See who was in the sixth cell here

We arrive at the Dungeon, and approach the sixth cell of allies.

DM: While Indy is introducing himself, you hear *wookie noise* from the next cell over.
Ranger: Oh, it’s a… Yeti? With Brown fur?
Cleric: Being brown doesn’t make him any less of a Yeti.
DM: *wookie noise* Suddenly a man steps out from behind the Yeti, who looks weirdly like the last guy. “Chewy, relax, they’re here to let us out.”
Ranger: You know you look a lot like the other guy?
Han: I’ve been getting that a lot lately, I don’t see it. 

See who was in the fifth cell here

We arrive at the Dungeon, and approach the fourth cell of allies.

DM: The next cell is kinda weird. It’s just a semi-truck with a tractor trailer attached.
Ranger Player: HOW DID HE EVEN GET DOWN HERE?
DM: “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, I would be proud to fight by your side. I am Optimus Prime of Cybertron.” The truck starts folding into itsself until a huge robot is in front of you.
Ranger: I get the transformation magic, but why a weird carriage?

See who was in the third cell here

After defeating the dodgeball team, Batman and Shepard try to shake down the Gnome, in search of their allies.

Gnome: They’re in the dungeon! I’m sorry! I’ll take you there! *they put him down* Upside- that was like, all the guards in the whole place. So A+ on that one.

We arrive at the dungeon and approach the first cell.

DM: You see a man with pink hair, no shirt, and a plaid scarf. 
Elf Player: Are you serious right now?
DM: He says LET ME OUTTA HERE, I’M FIRED UP. There’s a small blue cat on his shoulder.
Ranger Player: NATSU?

We enter the Mako with the Mass Effect crew. Eventually, we drive through a wall into the throne room where our teammate, the gnome sorcerer, is sitting. Two years have passed since we left, and apparently he is now the ruler of this state. During an explanation of this, his “body guards” approach. Down the hallway we hear a distant *thump thump tsssss* over and over. 

Ranger player: No. Nope. No. What’s next, Ben Stiller and the crew from Dodgeball?
DM: We are the Globo-Gym Purple Cobras and we will- WE WILL- rock you. *thump thump tsss-ing resumes*
Druid Player: I roll intimidate to make his bodyguards back down. *24*
DM: How exactly do you intimidate Ben Stiller?
Druid: HEY! YOU!
Ben Stiller: Yes, small strange child?
Druid: YOUR NOSE IS WEIRD, AND IF YOU HURT ME OR MY FRIENDS I WILL KILL YOU.
Ben: NO CHILD TELLS ME WHAT TO YOU. PURPLE COBRAS, ATTACK!
Druid Player: I shoot an arrow to pop his dodgeball first *21* 
DM: The arrow goes straight into it, he looks at it, says ‘Oh no.’ and explodes.
Druid: WHAT!?
DM: His dodgeball was filled with explosives. Did you miss that part?
Druid: YES.

The elf barbarian is staring at Wrex in admiration.

Elf Player: I feel like… like I have to roll intimidate just to talk to him. *rolls* 24!
DM: You walk up and headbutt him, to which he replies “Ya got quads, kid.”
Elf: *screams*

The Normandy has just landed, Commander Shepard walked out.

Druid Player: I roll handle animal on the ‘small dragon’ (Normandy)
DM: What appears to be a smaller dragon or lizard pokes his head out of the door-
Wrex: I ain’t no animal, sweetheart.

DM: Suddenly, there is a sound in the sky. It goes *plays audio clip on his phone* BWAHHHHHHH
Druid Player: Are you fucking serious
DM: And a huge dragon that looks vaguely like a cuttlefish appears over the alley. Then, a smaller dragon swoops down and shoots a beam of light at the huge dragon, hitting it out of the sky. THAT dragon gives birth to an even smaller dragon, which lands on the ground, opens up, and a really cool woman steps out in black armor holding a huge gun.
Elf Player: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MASS EFFECT?

DM: The cloaked man-
Elf Player: Batman.
DM: The cloaked-
Elf Player: BATMAN.
DM: THE CLOAKED MAN. YOU GUYS DON’T KNOW HE’S BATMAN. HE GRABS ONE OF YOU- I’m sorry, he grabs one of you, and you notice his colors don’t match this world.
Players:…
DM: He’s animated.

DM: *says something stupid*
Druid Player: *throws a balled up peanut butter cup foil at him*
Foil: *gets lodged in DM’s ear*
Cleric Player: YOU CRIT!

Ranger: I’m going to try to get over this wall because my friends are on the other side and I want to make sure they don’t die.
Druid Player: I KNEW IT, YOU LIIIIIKE USSSSSS.
Ranger Player: Well, YOU don’t know it. You’re not here to hear me say that.
Druid Player: I roll sense motive to see if I can figure out he’s doing this for the power of friendship. *rolls 15* 
DM: Oh he’s totally doing this for the power of friendship.
Druid: I KNEW YOU LIKED US!
Ranger: *from the other side of the wall* DAMN IT!

In our prior battle, our gnome had opened a portal to the plane of air elementals which, as our GM informed us, is very easy to open but very hard to close.

Gnome: Wait… It’s hard to close from here. So WHAT IF

Ranger: Don’t do thi-

Gnome: WHAT IF I go into the plane of air elementals and close that portal and then open a new one here come back through it, and THEN close that portal.

GM: Sure, if you want to risk opening a portal on the other side of the world.

Gnome: …. I’ll get back to you.

The druid is sneaking through the camp site and a few soldiers start walking towards her general direction.

Druid: Uhhh I TURN INTO A TREE.

DM: The camp you’re sneaking through is in an open field.

Druid Player: Shit.

Soldier: Has that tree always been there?

Druid: I’ve been here for weeks!

DM: Roll bluff.

Druid Player: Crit.

Soldier: Well the tree would know better than us I suppose!

We had just found the cleric’s mom crucified in town, took her down and let her rest.

Cleric: Mom, how are you doing?

Mom: Well I’m hanging in there.

Cleric: Mom.
