You Shall Not Pass/Webcomics

"Balrog: Thou shall not pass!
 * In Order of the Stick, two members of the Redshirt Army offer to hold back a squad of oncoming hobgoblins in order to give their leader and the heroes enough time to escape. Elan, being Genre Savvy to a fault, knows that they're doubly doomed, and even tells them so in an attempt to dissuade them. They manage to save themselves by giving themselves just enough characterization during the battle, and finally even to downgrade a fatal wound to a minor one by telling each other their names, Kazumi Kato and Daigo. Daigo wisely decides to withhold his last name for a future emergency. As they've both managed to get married, reached sixth level (a "booster level" in any class), and step up to the ranks of nobility afterwards, it's proving to be a prudent move.
 * He even started to reveal his last name: I am Daigo D-(door slams in face)
 * During the Battle of Azure City, Lien single-handedly defends Hinjo's personal ship from the hobgoblin hordes, both saving it for his escape, and protecting the refugees onboard. In a subversion of this trope, she survives, protecting the ship long enough for Hinjo and the Order to get to it and for them all to escape.
 * Torg tries to do this during the "That Which Redeems" arc of Sluggy Freelance. He even quotes Gandalf. But then he decides to just push the bad guy down the hill and outrun him with the rest of his group.
 * Played with in the B-Movie Comic:

Professor: Strange. I've never seen this being before... ...yet I have the odd feeling that line should have been mine, somehow..."

"Murai: Indeed. I have been telling you, have I not, that I believe ?"
 * Bob and George Here. Not, alas, using the line since it came out before the movie.
 * In Digger we find Murai, at the temple, alone against an army..


 * In the Festival of Veils arc of Dubious Company, Mary and Sue do this after the Queen threatens to arrest and torture Elly for the King's disappearance. . Perhaps the first time Mary has ever looked more badass than her sister.
