Shemeska said:In terms of the metaplot, certain “weaknesses” have been exploited in the past, and the rare NPC has seemingly come close to gaining some victory over Her, only to ultimately fail (and sometimes with evidence such attempts were merely part of the Lady’s design). In any case, the Lady should always remain above and beyond the ambitions of the PCs.
If you want to keep to the canon and yet allow the fiends to rule Sigil, the way to do it is not by blunt force but through some sort of agreement.
Who knows what goes on in the mind of the Lady of Pain? And what is time to Her? Maybe there is some hidden agenda going on, and She chooses not to manifest her presence at the apparent takeover of Sigil.
It's possible to come up with some plot device that allows temporary (whether that be 1 day or 1000 years) apparent rule to pass to the fiends.
The key to beating the Lady of Pain is not to overwhelm her, but to convince her that you should be allowed to do whatever you want to do.
At least that's the approach I would take.
