Plot Summary: 
Vinoba says if you don't want The HHO to reveal Mendax's true identity, do us this favor. Drop this package in a pond. The group agrees. They touch magic rings and go to a wood between the worlds. They drop a package in a pond. The pond dries up. The party learns that each pond is a plane, and go to the Aasgard one. The heroes participate in a bet and build a wall around Aasgard. Elowen negotiates that the gods as a thank you bring the plane back that they had blown up, and vows vengeance on The HHO for tricking her into doing that. 
Behind the scenes: 
Director's Cut: Some comments from the DM: (quoted from another discussion): "In last week's adventure Norsing Around, I didn't expect the players to spend forty minutes deciding which pond to jump in.  I was the DM for that adventure and I kind of thought they'd throw the package into the pond, get bored, and jump into another pond.  Fifteen minutes, tops, I figured.  What ended up happening was that they threw the package into a pond, created a magical dog to look into the ponds, learned that the ponds weren't water, didn't want to risk Stan the magical dog's life, created a throwaway fluff ball animal to jump into the ponds, the animal ended up being a massive tiger who survived jumping into the pond, named the tiger Richard, got emotionally attached to Richard the tiger, had Richard the tiger jump in a second pond to push their luck, that pond went up in flames (as did Richard) and then deeply emotionally mourned Richard and later asked a god to bring him back to life, 
resulting in Richard choosing to live with the god rather than stay with them, his irresponsible creators.  All of this happened because I asked them to jump into a pond."
