This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I thought it was fairly clear that they cross the Bridge of Swords 
into Hel's domain, unless they are specially favored. 

But Sir Ravd threatens a villager with the prospect of Hel damning 
her to an afterlife in Muspel playing with dragons, if she perjures 
herself. So I guess that's an option also. 

Also, there seems to be another hell-ish place apart from Muspel. 
Able says somewhere that he was "at the siege of Nastrond". 
Wikipedia says Nastrond was an afterlife punishment place for bad 
people of various descriptions. I assume in the TWK cosmos it's a 
region of Hel.
