4-6 (16-24 hours)
Focus
Endgame choice, multi-path finale
Structure
Three-act confrontation + branching endings

Cosmic order, player ascension, mortal survival
Battlefield Options
A feasting hall turned abattoir. Endless Einherjar respawn. Destroy the feast-kettle to halt them.
Odin Confrontation Frame
Phase 1: Ledger of Debts
Odin invokes every favor and debt. Players can pay, defy, or flip debts back on him.
Phase 2: Eye of Seeing
Odin reveals secrets. Each round he exposes one PC truth; facing it grants advantage, fleeing it fuels him.
Phase 3: God of War
Pure combat. Use god-killer weapons, giant allies, and soul cages. Each round a mythic terrain shift occurs.
Optional Phase 4
If players choose preservation, mediate a new compact instead of killing. Roll social, sacrifice, and leverage clocks.
Endings (Pick What Fits)
Preservation
Forge a compact: gods serve mortals. Requires soul cage trade, giant accord, and Valkyrie reform.
Revolution
Kill all Æsir. Reality resets; decide who and what survives. High body count, pure catharsis.
Transformation
Players ascend. They become the new pantheon, bound by their choices and debts.
