So the story of the weekend at U-Con in Ypsilanti, Michigan was in The Lichway, an old-school dungeon from White Dwarf magazine #9 from 1977.
The PCs had traveled through most of the dungeon with their donkey, Jones, carrying the two chests and the extra spear and shield they had recovered. They finally ran into the wizard Dark Odo, who promptly cast Sleep on our 1st level heroes. They all missed their saving throws. As they are blissfully drifting to sleep, they heard the donkey bray loudly in anger. He charged the wizard, rolled a 20 and rolled maximum damage, doing a total of 12 hit points to the wizard with the spear, killing her instantly. The owner of the donkey awoke being licked by the trusty Jones.
