(you've probably already come to the same conclusion, but hey)The first battle where they will be summoned- save time, don't bother running even a signle round of combat, just tell them that they were in a battle and the last thing they remember is a horn going off in the distance... then they see [whatever....]Fight a Valkyrie and her warriors- slim it down, maybe just a quick fight.... set ECL 18 or thereaboutsYeah, that's it.... onto the direct questions.@ the well of Mimir- go with riddles, preferably based on Norse mythology... arrange it so that the Valkyrie told them something about the Gods that can come up again as riddles with MimirAlong the oak Yggdrasil- an encounter with some innocents who are victims of Thor's mad outburstsDid Loki.....etc- tempting tempting to build this into the plot, right off the bat I can't give any good suggestions on how you can weave this into the session, very good idea thoughWhere is the "beast"- you can contain the entire adventure within the Heroic Domains of Ysgard, HOWEVER, the Gray Waste of Hades is a good one too.... "Where evil springs eternal"... I would say that the nature of "the beast" could also determine which plane you end up inWhat is the Beast?- by "beast" I assume something BIG... even if there's plenty of Large sized creatures in the Epic Level Handbook I think you should reward your players with fighthing something big... maybe a Dread Linnorm (MM2... I think)? Depends on your group really..... in my group the players view the Tarrasque as a legendary beast. and the whole mystery around the Big T would be broken if they were to fight (and slay) it. Wha happen next?- oh yeah... that's a BIG one.... I usually like to start writing my adventures by having the end conclusion clear in mind. Sometimes as simple as: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> *players fail in the mission - bad <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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /> happens * players suceed - nice reward, and something within the adventure that will set the premise for a future adventure</li> </ul>I'll think about it a bit.... maybe come up with an idea.</blockquote>
