You go hang out with Great Old Ones, get a quick experience of omnipresence, and come back with a planar nuke.Actually, I should add a little more to that, since I've been doing some double-checking on how planar links in Eberron work. The Eberron cosmology is very different from the core Great Wheel version, with one of the big differences being that none of the planes besides the Material Plane (Eberron) has a connection with any other, but all of them are linked to the Material. So Xoriat too, when it was linked to Eberron, wasn't linked to the other planes. So the opening of the Gate in Nameless on another plane would be a serious (pun unintended) aberration, with one of two consequences. It would either (a) actually link Xoriat to that plane, allowing Xoriat to eventually take over that plane and then move to Eberron, or (b) Bypass that plane totally and just make the step across to Eberron, since that would be the 'natural' location for a link to Xoriat.As you say, though if (b) above happens then it wouldn't make a difference.As Rackhir said, it was much, much nastier. We were actually close to the end of the session when Mordain asked for samples from them and the PCs turned him down, and I said, "Look, guys - we're too late today to play this out, and I don't want to bother doing so next week since he will take you down. There's no chance of it not happening. Can we just skip the fight and start with the aftermath?" So the players agreed.During the week in between, Six's player and Gareth's suggested that I let them know what happened during the fight so that they have some information about the guy for when they eventually come up against him again (Luna's player was adamant that she was going to make his life miserable as payback). I said, "Sure," but after I worked out what he was going to use on them, I realized that I didn't need to provide any details, since they would have no idea what happened. You'll see it with the next writeup, which should be up sometime next week, and I'll provide some of the 'behind the scenes' details then.</blockquote>
