As this is obviously all Loki's doing, presumably Plan C is to send in Odin to grandfatherly visit every dwarf left in Hel's domain until he says something horribly ominous that distracts her.

I see - Either Hell gives up hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of dwarven souls, or she is unable to interfere with the events.

Or both. Unless she says that she gives up all of them right now, they are going to keep pestering her.  She might keep giving away souls, then find out that she is too late and the combat is over.

Or she ends up giving away so many souls that she becomes too weak to influence a high level cleric of another god.

Is there a reason she can't just delay talking about the souls, until after she influences the vote?

She can't influence the meeting if Thor/Loki is standing there right next to hear making smalltalk while waiting for her to finish watching the meeting so they can talk about those souls.

Thor and Loki have an established right to discuss the business of dwarf souls with Hel as a part of their original bargain. She can't send them away from her realm until the matter is resolved, but if she just delays then they'll be present to see her breaking divine law by directly interfering with mortal affairs and then be permitted to either stop her or else be permitted to counter her interference, such as by manifesting true sunlight inside the council chamber.

I wonder if you could survive if you shifted out to the Far Realm...

Oh my fuck, is that what the Far Realm outsiders are?

*googles it (which is totally not the same as trying to enter it)*

Sounds like the realm of Lovecrafts Elder Gods dialed to 11. Though theres no indication that such a realm does exist in OOTS and its basically described as another universe onto itself and could clash with OOTSs storyline.

The outer planes and the astral plane are there, so it stands to reason the far realm is as well. Creating worlds has to leave *something* on the cutting room floor, after all...

It's also someplace that's extremely hard to reach, requiring powerful epic level magic or something. I'm not sure that Plane Shift would be enough. Given the vast number of planes, a non-targeted 'get me the hell outta here!' usage* of the spell is probably more likely to drop her someplace ridiculous like the plane of ranch dressing (though that case wasn't actually random, it was Skarr, or whatever that imps name was again, lying to Zz'ditri about where it'd actually go since he gave the frequency of a harmless place instead) that would be much easier and take less effort to reach.

*Though I didn't see anything regarding using the spell in that way. Might come down to the discretion of the GM.
