Here’s a theoretical for you based off a dream I had that apparently came from the Briarwoods arc of Critical Role.

Assume a D&D style fantasy world, w/ a recurring villain who continues to be an issue even after having been killed.

Alive she was a powerful sorceress. Dead, she has become powerful enough to be a warlock patron.

Since she’s a “if you send me to hell I’ll just kill Satan and assume his throne” type, how do you take her out of the equation for as long as possible?

@DrNerdLove find her a really distracting hobby, like crochet or Warhammer or killer sudoku, then watch as it swallows her time?
@DrNerdLove Create an artifact which contains and keeps her in a phased state of existence, and then chuck that artifact into subspace.
@DrNerdLove you have to distract her. There’s no defeating her.
@DrNerdLove Phantom-zone like prison?
