I would strongly suggest that for most of the siege, the bulk of the defenders are on the mundane plane. Otherwise it becomes unplayable for ordinary PCs. Yes, there's a lot of HQing going on. Yes, you're in a high-magic area, getting through that barrier is probably easier than normal. And by the end, yes, the defenders seem to be using a Short World as a hide-out. But for the most part - if the entire place is on the Other Side, what are the Lunars chucking rocks at? What's that army doing there? Have you shifted the Lunar attackers off the mundane plane, too? Where do we stop?

Yes, I missed that, sorry. Good point. He certainly has.
