So Today I just had my bi-weekly session of D&D 5e, in which I had the best boss fight I have had so far. I was playing a Light-Foot Halfling Rogue who was running away from the bandit camp with just about the whole party through the forest. (The other two members where just in the town we where helping out or something) So I jumped off my Pony & told them all to run, expect to let myself die to save them all. (there was like 50 guys & we only had 4 members) So I start a forest fire & the main Bandit Captain stops her men & says "Leave this one to me." She jumps at me & gets two hits which I Uncanny Dodge, I then roll a Natural 20 to hit her & cut into her knee cap so she can't walk anymore & she falls to the ground in pain. Then her lover (The Governors son who is a traitor & has been selling secrets) tries to shoot me missing both his shots, after that I just start attacking the Bandit Captain's neck non stop, he then jumps over the flames & tries to push me away from the love of his life, but I then roll another Natural 20 on the Strength Check & throw him right into the fire when he screams horribly & a good chunk of his skin burns off. I then keep attacking his lovers neck & the Governors son gets up & misses two more attacks on me, I then finish of his Lover & cut into his knee cap & stab him through his neck with my Dagger. The Bandit's all run off in fear because their two best fighters have just been stopped by this scrawny little Halfling, in which the Gnome Ranger comes back to come save me & witnesses this happen & then has a fan girl attack. (No other words can describe it.) My DM just get's so salty because a Light-Foot Halfling took out his two hardest Bosses on his own because he wouldn't stop rolling 3's & he did change dice at least twice.

I don't know if I'd call it my best boss fight, but I'll tell you of my most recent one.
The characters - Aldoth (dragonborn fighter), Armadillo (shifter monk), Dash d'Orien (human fighter), and Femur Dirtnap (high elf wizard) - have figured out the location of the suspected kidnapper of the scion of House Medani, a ruined temple of Aureon in the depths of Sharn. After fighting the villain's lieutenants - the gargoyle, Crag the Nose, a psychotic choker, Gasper Snatch, and a toothless bugbear thug called Smiley - in the vestibule and sanctum of the temple, they pressed on to encounter Mange, a shifter berserker, and Nipplespike, a hobgoblin monk festooned with body piercings, on the rickety, winding stairs leading up the bell tower. As they made their way up the crumbling stairs, Manger and Nipplespike threw javelins and hand axes at them. Armadillo and Dash closed the distance and took on Nipplespike while Femur hurled spells from the cover provided by a pile of rubble. Aldoth meanwhile fashioned a lasso and managed to snag Mange's outstretched arm and give it a yank, pulling her off the stairs to the hard ground 40 feet below.
The lieutenants dispatched or routed, the PCs made it up the stairs to the belfry to face the master inquisitive of Sharn turned scheming villain, Dick Barrage. Zelina d'Medani was held fast to the bell with a strong steel chain and complex padlock. A powerful acid applied by Dick Barrage sizzled on the bolts holding the bell in place - if the PCs didn't rescue Zelina in three rounds, the bolts would give and the bell would plummet, taking her with it to the ground 80 feet below.
After a suitably villainous monologue, the characters leaped into action. Dash and Armadillo rushed to engage Dick Barrage in a clash of swords and fists. Aldoth moved to secure a rope to Zelina. Femur used prestidigitation to cleanse the bolts of the acid eating away at them, buying the party some time. As Dick Barrage's sword cane rained blows upon Dash and Armadillo, it was clear the party was outmatched. Dash was on his last legs, desperately fighting against the master inquisitive atop the beam holding the bell in place as Dick tried to break the beam to drop the bell. Femur picked the padlock on the chain holding Zelina and Armadillo whisked her away to safety. His plans foiled, Dick Barrage lashed out at the PCs, disarming them and striking repeatedly. Short on options, the heroes focused on the beam, quickly smashing it. With a loud crack, it snapped, Dick Barrage slipped off, hitting the side of the bell - DONG! - before ultimately falling to his death.
In the aftermath, the party licked their wounds and counted their blessings for it was truly a close call. The baron of House Medani rewarded them handsomely and the Sharn Inquisitive sang their praises on the front page.
