Or, in this case, a pot of what Angie calls my "burning tractor tyre" high-caffiene tea and a dusty Asgardian Tome that was apparently buried in a peat bog, to judge from the smell.

In other words, I've been going through the book Drumm left us with the other day. It's actually useful, which means I owe him a favour, bugger it.

The Big Bad is named Cul Borson. For those who know Asgard, yes, he's Odin's older brother. He's the God of Fear, banished from the throne and Asgard for the usual crimes against Asgardians. And of course, he was banished to Midgard/Earth, which is how he joined forces with our very own fear-demon, the Dweller in the Dark. They joined forces to take back Cul's throne (the Dweller would get Earth as a reward), got beaten and Cul was imprisoned in a tomb on some island-or-other here. The Dweller went on to eventually latch onto Tandy and the files cover the rest of that story.

Cul was beaten last time with the Odinsword, but it was broken in the last encounter. Asgard's buttoned down tight - no-one's been able to make contact with them - so we can't ask for help there. Now we know what we're fighting, we can work on finding something that'll finish him.

And next time anyone visits Asgard, can we get a fucking list of however more booby traps they've got lurking on Earth?
