True...I would have thought he would have wanted to take Balor's body with him when he teleported himself and the surviving Legionnaires away, so stripping the armor off it immediately wouldn't be an issue, but maybe he thought they'd be less likely to pursue him if he left the body behind for them to mourn (picture a hundred thousand thrall lining up single file to take turns laying flowers by Balor's corpse, while a ghol reads the service).
Hey...maybe it was *Balor's body* that caused the big explosion at Rhi'anon. According to GURPS, the explosion occurred when his head was thrown into the Devoid, and we know that something caused the head to blow up just then; maybe the body blew up at the same time. Thoughts?
