SEIGE Engine - possibilities

I'm just curious for the sake of boredom, what is the craziest thing you've done or allowed as a CK to be done using (and probably because of) the SEIGE Engine.

Edit: This was sparked by the other thread that mentioned that most folks just don't get C&C because they don't know what's it's capible of doing.

I allowed my fiance to make a Charisma check, under guise of a shapechange, to subdue a dragon hatchling. She rolled a natural 20, and the dragon failed its save by rolling a natural 1.

There really are so many that I do as situations arise. I do SIEGE for practically all the 3e skills and the knowledge ones are purely determined through character background, role-playing, and adventuring, as to how I set the CL.

I have a player who had a rogue character that fancied himself a "thief-acrobat" sort of character, so I allowed him to do a slight of hand/acrobatic check (Dex) once per opponent to deliver an attack that does "back attack" damage. The CL equaled the opponent's level/HD. If successful, the attack was treated mechanically just like a back attack.

Hmm. Craziest? Dunno.

I had a situation where the group was fighting an Otyugh who was at the top of flight of stairs (10' wide), and the group was bottenecked in. So one of the players behind the front line made a Dex SIEGE check to run through the combatants, draw his dagger and slash the Otyugh while sliding. He rolled a great SIEGE roll, but then a '1' on his combat role, so he slid under the Otyugh but when he drew his dagger it came flying out of his hand and across the room.

Yeah, thats pretty mundane, but it was fun.

I had a fighter want to grab a nearby vine during a forest encounter, swing around while letting out an enormous war-whoop, and attack the center Orc of a group of 5-6 Orcs as he swang back over, then drop to his feet back out of range of melee.

I set a CL (he had good dex as a prime), he made it and came swinging around. I told him the attack would be at a -3 because of the move. He rolled a 2. The fighter swung over the heads of the Orcs, slid off the vine and tumbled to a face down position in front of his comrades. The Orcs stared for a second, then as a group burst out laughing (Orc humor), and I rolled a quick save for each. 2 were so convulsed by laughing they dropped their weapons and fellt to the ground in stitches, loosing their round.
