The Skies over Valhalla

Go back to the physical realm

Without a yeti mount:

You poke your head through the slash, and find yourself looking at Valhalla from a dizzying height. Come down now, they'll say, but there's no way you're going all the way through that slash without some sort of transportation.

Maybe like a hideous winged yeti mount? You should go see those A. W. O. L. guys on the Nearby Plains about getting yourself one of those.

Attempting to engage the swarm without a yeti mount:

You can't do anything without some way of flying. And before you go pointing at all of the stuff in your inventory that says it lets you fly or float or levitate or whatever, that stuff won't work. You're gonna need a hideous winged yeti mount, because that's the only thing that can handle this particular kind of flying. Because of science.

With a yeti mount:

You whistle for <yetiname>, hop on his back, and hurtle through the slash with a mighty roar and a disgustingly loud belch. In all this excitement, you're not even sure which of those came from which of you.

• A Giant Swarm of Yeti-Mounted Skeletons (disappeared on rollover May 15, 2011)
• The Bonewall (Appeared on rollover May 12, 2011)(disappeared on rollover May 15, 2011)
• A Massive Flying Battleship (Appeared on rollover May 13, 2011, disappeared May 14, 2011)
• A Supply Train (Appeared on rollover May 14, 2011) (disappeared on rollover May 15, 2011)
• The Bone Star (Appeared on rollover May 15, 2011)

Attempting to adventure in any of the above locations while falling-down drunk:

There are at least two of everything up there, and you're also worried that you might fall off your yeti. You should maybe come back when you're at least slightly less drunk.

Notes

An A. W. O. L. Messenger instantly flies up to you and says "Good work, Adventurer. Admiral Hagnk wanted you to have this."

• On May 12 at 12:30 this page went down with the following message:

  We're fixing some problems with the world event right now.
  
  

  Oh, umm, I mean... Admiral Hagnk says that the Astral Slashes have become especially unstable, and that they're too dangerous to enter for the next fifteen minutes or so. Also he says your pants are out of style.
