What's the most anticlimactic thing one of your players has done?
Here's mine:
>Two Ankegs (huge insectoids) bust out of the ground
>One PC walks alone, ahead of the party
>Asks: Do you speak common?
>Ankeg fucking screech
>Says in the most unconvincing and insincere voice possible:
>Perhaps you speak sword!
>Draws duel raipers
>Misses both
>Ankeg crits and rips him to shit
>Entire table keks for weeks
>"Perhaps you speak sword becomes a huge meme"
>Acting cool and saying oneliners as a martial in D&D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What's anticlimactic is the fact that this didn't happen

Baldur's Gate had ankhegs in a farm right outside the starting area (just south of Friendly Arms Inn), if you actually explored instead of rushing straight to the next objective. They are hyper-murder to low level folks.
Never happened in my games. Somehow, when you needed to roll high, or when you needed that 20, REALLY needed it, you would succeed.
