... isn't that actually sort of a good thing for Xykon considering that no one will ever find it?
Or are there some half-hidden facts about not hiding your phylactery too far away?

Well, it should give the OotS a new dungeon crawl soon :)

As far as the "not far away," I don't know all the details and specs on phylacteries, but I know in the FR novels (where liches were common villains), the phylacteries were never kept on the person, and were usually hidden in a dungeon, even when the lich was out and about.  So there didn't seem to be much of a limit to distance then.

I'm not sure how interesting a long sewer-based dungeon crawl could be, but then again, Dorukan's dungeon was pretty much just bland rooms (except for the really odd ones) and that turned out pretty well. We'll see :)

IIRC, a destroyed lich regenerates near the phylactery. I don't think there's any restriction to how far they can get from it, though.

It's good for Xycon in that it's well hidden, but might be a tad inconvenient when he regenerates. Or maybe it'll be good for that, too.

Also, do you think the devils might collect on their debts next time the party is at full strength facing Xykon? (thus making V help Xykon in the battle)

Right, but unless Rich allows magically disfigured halflings, I think Xycon would prefer just waiting it out over a suicide that leads to a 66.6~% chance of ending up in a sewer. Besides, as long as he needs to wind up destroyed, why not cause some serious damage with a kamikaze attack?

Or are there some half-hidden facts about not hiding your phylactery too far away?

You always want your Phylactery hidden but always where you know it's safe. The best plans I've read about involve cutting a mountain in half, making a hallow 5x5 chamber made of pure adamantine, stocking up this room with tons of extra scrolls (especially teleporting ones) as well as some extra clothes. You then put a ton of abjurations on the chamber, including ones that prevent teleporting in, scrying of and destruction of the Chamber. Then you put the top half of the mountain back on and pretend like you were never there at all.

If you leave the Phylactery out in the middle of no where, there's always the chance something or someone will find it and have more than enough time to destroy it.

The good thing for the heroes is that there is now no longer an epic lich protecting it.

Though knowing the Giant, there is now an epic level Kraken guarding the phylactery... in its belly...
