Once a month, a magical mist envelopes the coastline of their homeland. The party boards their longboat, rows into the mist and is deposited in another plane of existence. One month they find themselves plundering the Happy Hunting Grounds for rare animal pelts, then next month its Acheron for exotic weapons and armor. Them of course, they wind up in the Abyss and it all goes sideways.Generally, the mists arrive at the same time every month. Once deposited on the shores of the other plane, the mists linger for a few hours, allowing the raiders time to plunder, then retreat. Sometimes, though, it's less predictable. Perhaps, the mists quickly retreats for a few hours, leaving the raiders stranded and panicked until it rolls back in? Another time, the mists doesn't take the party straight home, but instead takes them to another plane.Who knows where the mist comes from. Most of the warriors believe it is a boon from Odin, but perhaps the mists are the doing of Loki, who loves to toy with humanity.It's still a rough idea, but I think the breaking things and killing people in strange places could be fun for a few sessions. It'd be fun for the party to develop close ties with the NPCs who make up their raiding party. Perhaps the outer planar creatures get tired of the meddling humans and mount a raid of their own, which claims the lives of the party's loved ones? It's possible other clans would hear of the magical mists and might attack the characters' village, hoping to learn the secret. If the characters wind up in Valhalla on one trip, what might they see? Maybe their experiences would cause the other villagers to look upon them as holy man, earning the party the ire of a jealous holy man or noble.Eh, it's just an idea, so I'll have to see how it works out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
