Hey all,
So I'm planning on running my first 5e game, and I'll be going back to my favorite setting of Planescape. The first part of the game will end up focusing heavily on a conflict between Baator and Mount Celestia, the player's will end up spending significant amounts of time in the latter.
So here's the rub: I need good ways for my player's to more easily be able to access the layers above Lunia, the first layer. I like the original flavor that all gates and portals end only on the first layer and a berk's gotta think and scrape himself into a better man to ascend bit by bit, that's integral to how the plane functions. However, I don't want my players to necessarily have to follow that rule, I'm just looking for some semi-believable suggestions.
It's not unprecedented. The books talk about large scale devil armies somehow climbing up the mountain and modron marches crashing through the 5th (iirc) layer. I just need something that ties it all together, preferably without having to have a major power notice the characters too early into their careers, I want them to earn that.
Cheers.
