One of my favorite encounters was where we were doing a jump-between-the-rocks-there's-hot-lava situation. As a Fighter with legerdemain (never again!) I was asked to jump between a series of rock platforms suspended over lava with some of other other folks with that particular skill. Our goal was to blow a hole in a lava tube so we could flood an enemy encampment with molten rock thus bypassing a particularly messy battle that we might not have been able to win.
I was wearing plate and chainmail and we had to fight our way through fire elementals the entire way. I ended up having to go back across the platforms a couple of times to either retrieve new traps (whoops!) or to gather up fallen enemies (no bueno!). Luckily just previous to the encounter I ended up with an item that gave me 1/4 damage from fire which made me one of the hardiest people for this specific encounter.
At the very end, I found myself covering the trap layer with my own body and shield so that I took all of the damage that would have interrupted his setting of said trap and quaffing potions to stay alive. I think it was @norman b whom I protected during this ridiculous exchange.
I am still amazed we made it through that. I came out of that absolutely exhausted.
