If so, can the demon escape to attack the wizard by teleporting out of the pentagram. Also, a pentagram cannot stop a physical attack from a non-magical creature. So, if the demon materializes outside of the pentagram and picks up the party's barbarian and throws him at the wizard standing in the middle of the pentagram, does the barbarian hit the wizard and knock him out of the pentagram, or does he stop when he hits the pentagram?
For teleporting, I think the key point in the rules is that a demon cannot leave a pentagram. Doesn't matter how it tries to do it.

The rules do say a demon can use weapons so if there were any ranged weapons (like rocks), it could use them to attack across the pentagram since they're nonmagical.
