Well, not Demogorgon, per se, but a nasty extradimensional beholder with the same stats as the CR 26 demon lord. Here's how it went down!
In the climactic battle of our science-fantasy Shattered Realm campaign, this suped-up beholder and its mighty dragon underling had designs upon conquering the solar system, but standing in their way was a coalition of champions. The two sides met upon the barren surface of an asteroid, with the fate of the entire system hanging in the balance!
Most of the characters moved up to engage in melee, while Matthew's character Kai crouched upon a ridge overlooking the battlefield. You can see Kai in the image above; he's at the bottom with the bluish-gray cloak and a rifle aimed at the beholder. While other heroes distracted the beholder, Kai lined up the perfect shot with a devastating antimatter rifle borrowed from an ally. Matthew rolled a natural twenty, so his damage ballooned to 12D8 from the rifle and 10D6 from sneak attack. All told, it brought the beholder down by about a quarter of its hit points. We still have a long way to go in this battle...
Also, if you look closely at the photo, it appears that Garm -- the king of dire wolves -- is farting out a fireball. I assure you, it's just glare from the bright overhead lights!! :)
