It seemed that some people are role playing the demons to have not been imprisoned on the same floor as the angels. Like, some people put their characters a floor below other characters and when they talk about the stairwell, they make it seem like they have to reach the angel floor and then take that stairwell to the surface. I swear I read somewhere that The Pit was beneath "a castle." So we have one person on a journey to Eyra's palace but if her palace sat a top The Pit, then really they didn't have to go far. I think a map would have helped this situation.
