At SonOfZeus1200: Yes because it would be that easy to have Nico just go ask Hades, "Can you go fetch my friends out of tartaus for me with your sword. Ok thanks". Sorry but, don't see that happening. And why would Hades want to help Percy and Annabeth (especially Percy) escape out of tartaus. And even if Athena and Poseidon made him do it how would he and his army get close to the pit without getting sucked into it. Gods amd titans get sucked into the pit. And just because the people are dead doesn't mean that their souls won't go to tartaus. And since Percy and Annabeth are living still their souls proabably won't go to the pit, but they will still be trapped. Many if's.
