I would have fought Demogorgon, but I was RPing a Good character, and freeing a powerful demon didn't seem right. That XP sure is tempting, though, especially for Multiclassed characters. (Boy, I wish my Mages had TWO 9th-level slots, instead of just one.....)
Actually, I beat the demilich by using the ring of the ram to knock him back into one corner, while moving my mages into the opposite corner. I then closed in with the two guys that had protection from undead scrolls on them, blocking him into the corner. When the two guys closed, I used wand of conjuration to summon cheap critters, which quickly moved in to completely block him off. This changed his attention to the critters, and I quickly whacked him.
