[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2390281, member: 8461"] It's worth noting that Cerlic (aka Charon) is a fool-proof way to utilize the Styx, assuming you can pay him. He charges 100 platinum pieces per person per planar layer crossed though, and (IIRC) 500 pp per person per plane crossed on top of that. Anyone who can't pay (or calls him without sufficient funds) is dumped in the river, or attacked (he can form a water elemental out of the Styx). He does accept magic items as payment though. The upside to utilizing Cerlic's services is that he [b]never[/b] betrays his customers, so long as they pay what they owe him (he accepts magic items of an equivalent value). He responds to being called (by any of his names) at any point on the banks of the Styx. As a mention, probably the safest place to be on the Styx is on the (IIRC) first layer of Pandemonium. The Styx is at its weakest there, and just touching the water has no ill effect (though drinking it still does). EDIT: One hazard Shemmy forgot to mention is that Styx dragons also live in the river. You can find them in [I]Draconomicon[/I] (and, IIRC, [I]Dragon[/I] #300). [/QUOTE]
