07-10-06, 11:58 AM My players had an idea that kind of struck me by surprise the other day....we are playing an evil game and suddenly they decided they would like to conquer the multi-verse....every plane, material plane and demi-plane....Now I can run anything but I was wondering if anyone else had attempted this or even considered it. Also any constructive critisms/ideas are encouraged and welcome, both from player and DM point of view.

For those unfamiliar with Sigil and it's guardian, I would like to clarify the above statement. Sigil is the city at the center of the multi-verse, featuring people and cultures from all corners of the D&D realms. From this city, one can go anywhere, to any plane, in any campaign setting. It is ruled over and guarded by a mysterious being known only as The Lady of Pain.
The Lady is a mystery. She's widely regarded to be the de facto ruler of Sigil, its protector and its victim. She is said to guard the doors of the Cage against the myriad schemes of the gods, to be the ultimate expression of balance in the multiverse, to be the prisoner of the City of Doors. There are thousands of stories about her - one even tells that she's actually six giant squirrels with a headdress, robe, and ring of levitation and illusions - but none of them can be answered. She is a true enigma, a puzzle with no solution.

If someone displeases her - by upsetting the balance of the city or worhipping her - the Lady may punish the offender. Her punishment ranges from the Mazes - a twisting, turning hell with a cleverly disguised exit - to the casting of her shadow across the transgressor, covering him with slashes and gouges from her sharp-edged shadow, leaving behind a pile of gore and viscera. Neither option is paricularly attractive.

Rule of Adventuring #1: If it has stats, we can kill it.

The Lady of Pain has no stats. End of story.
