Also the PCs at that stage in their careers are powerful enough that creatures that could potentially bypass the extra-planar nature of that spell (i.e. Demons, Devils etc) are relatively commonplace now (and many probably have a reason to come looking for the PCs, in addtion to having the means to bypass that protection).Its entirely possible that the PCs have also made enemies of at least one powerful demon lord/ devil/ mage/ priest or whatever thats capable of bypassing those magical defences, and has the motive to do so.Did the PCs once thwart 'Blagazarr, high priest of Orcus' at 6th level, stopping him from 'his evil plot to sacrifice hundreds in the name of his dark lord' its entirely possible that Blagazaar has been brought back by his evil master, or even that Orcus himself has taken offence.Bam presto. Orcus gates in a resurrected Blagazaar (replete with new shiny demonic powers) and a bunch of demons into MK Mansion. Lesser Deity (read: DM) fiat.Im not saying do it all the time of course. Just enough to keep the PCs on their toes <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
