* Ponder, faced with the head wizards being head wizard-y (that is, obstructive and unhelpful), thinks what Vetinari would do in this situation, and tells them that if they want to really help, they should go off to another room and write down their ideas. Which they do, allowing Ponder to get to work on an actual solution.

* The final scene of the book is both this and a moment of awesome: On their way off into the unknown, the Horde free Fingers Mazda, the first thief. Afterwards, thanks to a long eternity being tortured, he's not actually sure what just happened. He's not even sure it was real. What he ''does'' know is he's free, he's got a sword from somewhere, and that bloody eagle is coming... and he's going to ''enjoy'' himself.

** And it gets turned into a moment of Awesome... Apart from Leonard using him for a few tests '''before''' the mission, ''nothing bad happens to him''. And he's one of the few people that gets to see the Disc from space, with time to enjoy the view.

* One of the final scenes, where Cohen and the Silver Horde have [[spoiler:finally died after falling off Cori Celesti into the equivalent of a nuclear explosion; the Valkyries turn up to take them to Valhalla, and they decide ''they don't '''feel''' like being dead'', so they proceed to ''mug the Valkyries and steal their horses!'']]

* The gods witnessing the Bard confronting Nuggan for his utterly stupid Abominations. One of them whispers to Offler than he at least banned paunioplasty. He doesn't even know what it ''is'', but it scares 'em, and that's good enough.
* Vetinari, a man who has tamed the untameable city of Ankh-Morpork, being utterly confounded by someone like Ponder. Apparently his only solution to people like this is to keep them busy with machinery. At the end of the scene detailing this, Vetinari even asks him if he needs some more machinery.

* Also an awesome moment, but Rincewind, explaining why he's volunteering by refusing to volunteer for the mission, ''confuses the hell out of '''Vetinari'''''. His logic: He does not want to go on the mission. But he is volunteering because [[CosmicPlaything he knows how his life works]] -- if he tries to get out of it, he'll end up on the ship anyway, probably with a headache, so he's just going to save himself the trouble and go along with it.
