    Default TDOs plan and Serini

    Just a random thought: what if the Dark One's plan to Teleport a gate to another plane has already happened with Serini's gate? Like what if Monster Hollow is an endless series of shell games that lead to... A sign saying 'lol sucks to be you?'

    If Serini could do that safely, she probably would have done the same to the other gates.
    It's also likely not safe, and moving the gate will let the Snarl escape onto whatever plane you move the gate to.

    If we are to assume the Order is now on a tunnel that leads to the Gate (after successfully bypassing the teleportation trap), then the Gate wouldn't have been moved at all, the Order is still under Monster Hollow. Xykon and co are the ones who got teleported, and may or may not be in Monster Hollow at all.

    Of course, I assume things won't be as simple as that. Seirini was presumably an Epic or near-Epic Rogue, she probably placed more traps in that place.

    Here's an interesting take with the thought "TDO's plan and Serini"

    TDO and Serini are both sitting in a hot tub, at a swim-up bar called Riches, somewhere on the semi-elemental demi-plane of "kinda like tropical paradise that is an intersection of land and water".1 The two of them are sipping margaritas and cracking jokes about all of this Snarly-Gatey thing, .

    Two for one margaritas, with a shared platter of fully loaded nachos, goes a long way to lubricting the wheels of conversation. When the bartender advises them - as the bill is being tallied up - that there was top shelf tequila in the 'ritas and thus it will cost a bit more, Serini responds with: "I'm shocked, sir, shocked!" (The bartender is, of course, an expatriate lightning elemental ...)

    1If we can have the demi plane of ranch dressing, this demi plan can also exist
