    Default Couldn't it have been worse if the phylactery did fall into the rift? (#660)

    Xykon and/or team evil would have to go in there, and they'd learn more about what's inside the rift, presumably to their advantage.

    OTOH, they could have gone in there and been utterly destroyed.

    Pretty much this. We don't know what's inside, but Redcloak would probably just not give a damn if it fell in and Xykonx phylactery was destroyed.
    Meanwhile if Xykon were to get him to venture forth into the rift, they'd...probably get eaten by the Snarl. Not a very good chance of surviving that.

    An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

    It could, for the bad guys. Xykon would not risk being utterly destroyed for his phylactery, as it is not vital for him unless he gets destroyed, too. He would unleash his fury on Redcloak and hobgoblins, brutally. That also harms only the bad guys.
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    It's also entirely within the realm of possibility that the Snarl could have reached through the phylactery and destroyed Xykon's soul.

    Not even the Directors knew what would have happened had the thing fallen down into the Rift.
