You start off at the edge of a Glacier. N to view the cart and 2
goats that are Thor's transport, SW-D-N to an Ice Cavern.  Get
sword, S-W, kill bear (with sword). E-S-S-S-S-SW-S to a hole in
the ground. D-S to where a wolf guards the Gate, get key, N-U-E to
the Pool of Wisdom. Talk to the old man here to glean a few
homespun homilies on life, and you discover a "great price" is
needed to pay for a drink from the Pool.  NE-E to the Norn's Cave,
read sign, W-N-NE-N (E of Castle gates).  Unlock gates, drop key,
drop sword, E-E to where you are attacked by bandits and have your
thumb cut off.  You wake up later in the Ice Cavern, so back to
find that missing digit....S-SE-E-S-E, get thumb.  W-S-SW-S-SW to
the Pool. Give thumb to man, drink water, and you suddenly have a
marvellous idea about Ragnarok....so off to the Castle to tell
someone. From here onwards you can only carry one item at a time,
because of your thumbless condition.

NE-N-NE-N-W-W-N-NW to a small room in the castle. Get trumpet, S
to Dining Hall where you find Thor. Talk to him - you tell him
about your idea, he asks you to tell Heimdall, drops a letter of
recommendation, and disappears. E-E-E-N-NW-W-U-NE, blow trumpet, E
to the Foot of the Rainbow, drop trumpet.  W (the goats and cart
have now disappeared), SW-D-SE-E-S-W-W-W to Dining Hall.  Get
letter, read letter, go back to the Foot of the Rainbow.  U to the
Gates of Asgard, give letter to Heimdall to read. You enter Asgard
with Heimdall and explain your plan to Odin...End.
