I really dont' want to hijack this thread but...isn't the annulus an artifact that destroys creatures who use Psionics?

Yep but it also states that it has the ability to destroy a diety. To the best of my knowledge WOTC hasn't put any Psionic Dieties out there so I interpret that to mean that it can destroy any published diety.
 

Yeah but I can just imagine the party finding out about the plan ahead of time to use the Annulus on the Lady of Pain and getting to Sigil too late to save her but just in time to see her bathed in the power of the Annulus, her very essense being destroyed in the attack. As soon as she was destroyed they'd then be witness to the portals being flung open and the army of fiends pouring through slaughtering anyone in their way.
Ooh! OOh! And from amongst the Yugoloths, maybe a terrible new force can arise...the Yugogirls. :p

And not just that, the Yugoloths create a new form a transport. A really cheap one that falls apart easily but gets great gas milage... The Yugo!

What do you call a one seater Yugo? I-Go
What do you call a two seater Yugo? We-Go
What do you call someone else's Yugo? They-Go

Actually you'd find the portals of Sigil closed to you if you tried to bring something like that into Sigil. And who said that The Lady was a deity? Deities generally don't kill every single person who attempts to worship them. *evil chuckle*

If you attempt to smuggle anything into the City of Doors that would be potentially a dangerous imbalance within, She simply bars your entry to the city. And even if She allowed you to take the Annulus into Sigil who said that it would actually work if you tried to use it on Her? It would be worse than trying to kill Ao while on Toril using a toothpick. That's the seeming level of power we're talking about here, but then take that to another level of magnitude entirely.

W/ regards to the Rift Spanner and the Dark Powers of Ravenloft. As I recall they actually have mentioned in canon for Ravenloft that over a certain level of true deity the Dark Powers can't actually contain that person in Ravenloft. Vecna was the shining example of this. As a demigod he was contained, but above that he managed to escape. (I can't however say where this was stated, I'm not too keen on RL)

...For me, this thread isn't about the amount of Devil infantry or how powerful the Lady of Pain is but about taking the mythology of D&D (and it really is its own mythology now) and rocking it, with the PC's leaving it different from how they found it...
Interesting side note: People seem to make the same mistake with the D&D mythology that they make with their mythologies and religions in real life. They forget the real purpose of said mythology (in this case to have fun with it) and instead jump up and down trying to maintain its "rules."

In any case, thanks for kicking off this thread, Paka. It's been an interesting and fun read.

So the Lady is an unbeatable force, an all knowing entity with every strength and no weaknesses. She knows when someone enters the city with pocket lint. Basically to defeat her you have to destroy reality so it would take her with it. No wonder I never liked Planescape. Out of curiosity, if you entered the city with the Annulus inside a portable hole would she detect the Annulus or just the portable hole. The Annulus is inside a pocket dimension and so really isn't entering Sigil until it is taken out of the bag and by that time it is already inside and through the portals. No wait, let me guess... she'd immediately sense it and put the Annulus holder into one of her mazes. Since she is all knowing she'd no doubt know exactlly what the annulus is.

Sorry for the rant, I've never liked the idea of omnipotent entities in RPGs.

Shemeska, you seem to be the sage on Planescape. How do you beat the Lady?
