What would make it perfect would be if, among the Grand Inquisitor's possessions, there was the key that would activate the orbital bombardment system, and Clyntahn destroyed it during the fit. Merlin telling Clyntahn that he had the key to victory in his hands, and destroyed it himself would be the most exquisite torture.
Given the textev that you could fire Paiter's key out of a cannon without harming it, it seems unlikely that Clyntahn could destroy his key. OTOH, it could have accidently been thrown out by the cleaning staff when cleaning up after one of his "tantrums".
