[QUOTE="Toras, post: 1375249, member: 13626"] Its not honestly that I am a Lady Fan boy, as I am usually the first go for the throat of Unstoppable Beings on general principal. The Lady exists to enforce a neutral zone, on place in all the multiverse were all beings are essentially free of the massive external forces that could normally crush there will. This is good for normal planescape, necessary for lower level adventurers to even be able to interact with the setting as more than an errand boy for there respective powers. Something that cannot be stressed enough is that MANY Millenia have passed with this situation as it is. And even with the Blood War going on, massive amounts of effort would have been put into capturing what has to be the most strategically important point in the multiverse, despite the tactial disadvantages of occupation. With all of this effort, it would take a massive, complicated, and more importantly time-specific event to succeed where so much has failed. Rather than trying to force a horde offensive, making some appeal to the "rules" within Sigil, or trying to seal the portals (they re open in random locations), might I suggest an alternative. (My understanding is not perfect so bare with me) 1. The Demons have been attempting to recreate Sigil down the very last detail, in the hopes it will grant them some advantage. 2. With the Blood Alliance, they now have the aid of the other fiendish races in this effort. 3. Using the combined efforts of the three Fiendish races, they are able to succeed, even filling Sigil with duplicates of its residents. This duplicate could be used in vast amounts of sympathetic magic, perhaps aided by the power of Fiendish Lords, and huge sacrifices in terms of souls. Perhaps it gains similar properties under fiendish control, or perhaps it provides a link to strike at her directly. [/QUOTE]
