[@Shalakor]

Realistically, they're level 10, that's enough likely clout for someone to approach them with the request to take on the task needed in the nine hells and access to a direct teleportation method to get there with. If they need to be lower level, just start a new campaign with new characters. Unless you're specifically running a campaign with the gimmick of rotating DMs, regular DM not being available should most often mean just run something else totally fresh/new/non-continuation of what was. If you want a change of pace with something that doesn't fit what the party is currently involved in, go all the way with it with a new party. Most players love an excuse to roll up a new character, especially in 5E where it's very simple to do so. ...This is of course painfully obvious, and anyone able to recognize this video as parody would be able to think of these solutions and factors.

[@Pandaemoni]

In Greek mythology it was the River Lethe that made people lose memories. It gets conflated with the Styx, but there were several rivers in the Underworld in Greek myths: Styx, Lethe (the river of forgetfulness), Acheron (the river of woe), Cocytus (the river of lament), and Phlegethon (the river of fire).

[@lordbuss]

Styx was the river of pain, right?

[@Pandaemoni]

@@lordbuss I am not sure. While the others have a consistent effect on people, the Styx is generally just poisonous to the living. The word, styx, juent "shudder" ot the like merely denoting that people who see it are generally dead and shudder at the sight. But then there is Thetis dipping Achilles and it granting him invulerability rather than poisoning him...

[@Battlefieldfan146]

[@firetarrasque4667]

The best part of this is that the Styx isn't the one that erases memories, it's the Lethe.

dm gave the secondary big bad a "wand of power word kill" as a threatening thing, I (a rogue) instantly rolled stealth to sneak up behind him, rolled a 25 (17 + 8), sneak attacked, rolled a Nat 20 on attack, killed him in one turn, took the wand, and used it until the end of the campaign.
