As Batman appeared in the misty, cold, sunless realm of Niffleheim, he looked around.
"Why isn't there a skating rink here?"
Meanwhile, back in Valhalla, the players had dispersed back to the Tavern. All of a sudden, everyone was interrupted by a shimmering interdimensional portal, opening up in the middle of the Player’s Tavern! Balder the Brave, Asgard’s God of Light, shot through the portal and crashed unto the floor. The Gods and Players looked on in astonishment as they noticed he was covered in blood, a wooden mistletoe arrow sticking from his chest!
“Balder!” Odin exclaimed.
“A-all-father….there be no time…..I must warn theee…..597-X ….*” and with his last breath, Balder the Brave expired.
Odin turned to Hela in rage
“HELA! I swear by all the Norns thou shalt pay for this!!!!”
Hela, her arms crossed, did not flinch.
“Stay thine hand, my liege. I do give mine solemn oath I am not behind this. It seems a hidden menace threatens Asgard – by name of 597-X. Hmph! If there is to be a menace, I and only I am to be it. Still, I canst not deny having beautiful sunshine Balder in my misty home will not gladden my heart. A wooden mistletoe arrow – surely an ominous portent, is it not, All-Father?” she smiled cruelly.
Remembering the ageless legends, Odin turned then to Loki with a glare of pure anger.....
OOC: Just FYI, neither Hela nor Loki nor Traitors had anything to do with it - this is 597-X!
I promised you a battle exercise tonight, but there's too much going on so I will save it for early tomorrow morning so you guys can play off of it.
