The ferryman, a skeletal looking humanoid scratches his skulled chin and clatters his teeth together in thoughtful manner and says; "Hhrrrmmm, Abyss easy to get but get to Terminal Archives? Very, very nasty waters there. You need give me rather worthy payment for such my lord. I can bring you there but it's something I do not risk just for anyone, no, no." The boat floats in the dock while ferryman waits Tzadkiel's response to his words. They usually do not directly name the prize, greedy as they are, so they let other's generosity name the price but if it's low to their standards the flatly refuse and wait for new offer. Which may need be bigger than in first bid to cover insult for offered too little for their passage.
