I have more:

In following scenario I was part of a three man party routing and undead plague. I was a mad single class wizard who, besides suffering from delusions, had absolutely no common sense what so ever (his wisdom score was a whopping 3). Still his wild imagination and creativity saved his hide now and then.

I was lost in a forest swarming with undead. I had sauntered away from the others because I was angry at them. (They had taken away my flail because they were tired of me chargin everything in sight with a weapon I wasn't even proficient in). We had ventured into the forest to find a local nobleman's daughter who had been lost. By dumb luck I stumbled upon her sitting upon a suspicious looking altar, apparantly not bound or anything. Around her stood a circle of black skeletons with weird runes on them.

Determined on saving the day I did the only thing logical (to me) and strode in and grabbed the child. I had just before (in a rare moment of foresight) used Alter Self (my favourite spell) to grant myself a pair of velociraptor-like legs with matching tail granting me superior running speed. After picking the frightened girl up. The ominous black skeletons rears to life and lunges at me with astounding speed. I have the moment of suprise on my side, however and manage to gain a head start. But I am only able to keep my distance to them by using all my rounds to run as fast as possible. If I slow down the slightest the mysterious undead begin to catch in on me. Casting spells at them was out of the question.

I had a pretty neat magical returning throwing stone with a fat to hit bonus in my possession, but as I was using all my energy on running I couldn't employ it.

Then I looked at the child and got a bright idea. She was small and did hardly weigh anything. Still she was big enough to figure out how to throw a stone (my magical stone was rather small). Then I remembered that I still got an Unseen Servant active (this non-combat spell of extreme utility has an extremely long duration). Consulting the spell description tells me that their weight allowance was big enough to carry this little girl. So I jam the magical stone into her hand (stopping very briefly) and commands her to throw it at the advancing skeletons. Then the Unseen Servant picks her up allowing her to throw the stone at the skeletons while I do the running. See, Unseen Servants must be within a certain range of you. Since they have to maintain this closeness they will effectively always travel with the same speed as you do if you are running at maximum speed.

When my Alter Self spell(s) ran out there was only two skellies left. One was heavily wounded. (They were 3 hit die monsters who was permanently "hasted").

I managed to whack the last one with my backup morningstar and some magic missiles suffering only minor wounds. The girl was unharmed, but rather freaked out.
