Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard[]
The Hammer of Thor[]
At the beginning of the book, Samirah al-Abbas has arranged a meeting with Magnus Chase and Otis at the Thinking Cup. Samirah had to leave to go reap a soul before Otis arrived. Otis showed up in a trenchcoat and ate the scone that Magnus had wanted to save for Sam. Then Otis explained that the hammer was still lost, but that he had an idea of where it might be, namely in the barrow of a Wight in Provincetown. Right then, Otis got killed by a mysterious assassin with a wolf-mask, who turned out to be Utgard-Loki later. After the assassin managed to escape Magnus went back to the Thinking Cup.
After the Quest to find Mjolnir, Sam and Magnus meet up again at The Thinking Cup at talk about their plan to apprehend Loki and sail to Scandinavia in the summer.
