Dear all-knowing forum visitors,
As a unseasoned DM I recently took over a game already in progress, with the players preparing to take a step into hell to greatly reduce the amount of devils in existence. With a tank (their idea, not mine). My question is this: How does layer travel work within the 9 Hells? I'm aware of spells like planeshift etc but the previous DM banned such spells and for the sake of continuity I would like to keep it this way. SO are there physical paths from one layer to the other that can be walked? Can you reach it by flying from one layer to a lower? Does the river Styx provide access by boat perhaps? Or is my only option to hand them portals to the other layers (want to avoid this if possible).
So I've read the planar handbook and fiendish codex 2 and although they give me a good overview of the layers, it does not explain how best to handle traveling between layers.
So oh great forum, any help is greatly appreciated
