The players must travel through the river Styx within the Astral Sea to enter Avernus and save Elturel and Baldur's Gate. I was trying to come up with how my players could or would attain an airship or ship to travel into the astral sea and through the River Styx. Baldur's Gate 3 has an airship flying through Avernus and I thought it would be awesome to acquire an airship and enter the deadly Astral Sea instead of being teleported by a Wizard. I know the River Styx flows through the Astral Sea and they could enter through there and crash into Avernus.
A Spelljammer could fly into Baldur's Gate and crash and the party takes out the creatures aboard. Later on, they find out they have to travel to Avernus and the only way is to fly into the Astral Sea. So they repair the ship with help and fly there and through the River Styx.
If you can't figure out an airship, a ship captained by a Merrenaloth (the name might be wrong but the sailor yugoloths) that can take the into Avernus through the river Styx. Though what the characters do to actually get into Elturel I'd beyond me
This is actually a genius idea!! They could make a contract with a Merrenaloth after contacting them or summoning one to the material plane and then take them into Avernus through whatever means. Thank you!

Airships are always fun.
