I was playing in a campaign where another player was playing an absurdly selfish druid who started a fire in a town and then stone shaped a building to put it out who then became violent when my monk stepped in to drag him away and have a word about being a **** inside towns who then decided to turn into a giant crocodile and kill me I managed to win the grapple because size is a little less breaking in pathfinder and monks are a little more capable when it comes to grappling and I got really lucky. After not blitzing and killing me and me managing to pin him (really lucky) he turned into an earth elemental and fled town.
Next session he didn't show up but the dm invited a few more people to join our campaign so we were stuck in the town waiting the other usual member of the campaign (we only really had a 3 man party normally) killed someone who was supposed to be a regular commoner who someone wanted to roleplay for the murder but then decided they wanted it to be their character so the level 1 commoner was suddenly a level 6 rouge that faced up against an anti paladin with none of his fighting gear (he charmed her into going for a romantic walk outside of town) who he managed to defeat but not before she got close enough to town for her screaming to be heard. The end result being that the anti-paladin was executed and the new players decided to join a different campaign so it was down to just me and the druid.
the murder and execution all took place on the same day the druid went mental so I had to load up and go out after him while he had no more wild shapes and no more high level spell slots and his companion was still diabled from previous injuries.
I ended up bribing him to come back (not into town the mayor declared he'd had enough of the parties shenanigans and everyone but my monk would be arrested on sight) because on top of being selfish he was greedy.
the whole time I was completely aware that the druid had no problem killing my monk (he had already indirectly killed another party member early in the campaign) and I was really lucky the dm took my side on some issues over how prepared he was likely to be but I was pretty certain that I lucked out in keeping as many people alive as I did.
tldr: ever had yourself backed into a corner where your character was likely to die and managed to luck out and live bonus if you managed to keep other people alive too.
