My story is about my cleric, Clarke.
As our party neared the end of Red Hand of Doom, we started to get hints that we were going to have to fight "Tiamat" (our characters, obviously didn't know it was just an avatar), and my character - a follower of St Cuthbert - was intent on either destroying her or sacrificing himself trying, but had no ideas as to how this would happen.
The artificer in our party knew exactly, though. During the combat, he ran to me and handed me his portable hole, and told me if I wanted to save the world, I'd have to run up to Tiamat and stuff it inside my handy haversack...
Which I did (barely surviving the attacks of opportunity), and pulled the avatar and my cleric both into the astral sea, where legend in Brindol has it they both still exist, forever chasing each other.

We had a running joke that one player, every time we ran a one-shot, kept having his characters lost in another plane, after it happened something like three times in a row.
Once it was appropriately thematic - the party was investigating a monastery filled with insane, mind-flayer worshipping monks, and found a portal to the far realm at the heart of it, and fought a Zeugulak, which they managed to drive back through the portal - but with its last attack, it grabbed his PC and dragged it through the portal with it, just before it closed.
Another time in the last fight I think he was hit by a prismatic spray and, of course, ended up exiled to another plane.
And one final time, in an epic campaign, his barbarian managed to punch a hole in reality and get dragged off into an vortex of nothingness - and make his epic constitution check to survive in the endless cold vacuum.
