What some folks seem to have been forgetting is that whle the PC's
were belting about the metaplanes Harlequin was actually very busy.
Fighting a lot, lot more beastiexs than the players ever get to see,
that final pile were simply what was left after he finally went down.

Realistically you should, his defences are down and hes in no fit
state to resist, ok thats not very ncie of them but.
Note that harlequin being 'immune to PC's' simply saves a very silly
Munchinkious list of how to send 100's points of karma on quickened
and anchored defensive spells that would have the same effect. It
also save FASA providing very overpowered conversions of ED stuff he
has access to.
