I haven't fought Moder yet and I am not an A grade gamer but I do have some advice for you and your friend.
Calm down. Take a deep breath. Think the problem through. It sounds like you now lack the weapons, armor, food, and meads necessary to fight Moder and are out of the resources necessary to craft these items.
I would think, however, that you still have a base with crafting stations. That makes starting the game over quite unnecessary. You should be able to gather the resources to craft what you need to get started.
Sounds like there is an area in the Mountain biome that has Moder present and is littered with corpses from previous attempts. I believe your best course of action is to concentrate on retrieving the gear from those corpses. Sneak in, loot a corpse, and run back out.
For that you need perhaps basic troll armor, a decent shield, a decent melee weapon, cooked meat and neck tails with some carrot soup, and a couple of frost resistance meads apiece. The armor and gear are not for fighting Moder but to deal with the odd wolf or other enemy you might encounter. If you don't have a camp with a portal close to the edge of the Mountain, find a location and build one. Split up before entering the Mountain and approach from different directions.
If Moder spots and pursues one of you, run for it. The other should be able to loot a corpse or two while Moder is in pursuit. Don't run directly back to the camp with the portal. Use the Eikthyr power. The idea is to get to a Black Forest or Meadows where you can easily lose Moder among the trees. Even if the fleeing Viking gets killed, Moder may be drawn far enough away from the last place he was encountered to make subsequent corpse looting runs Moder-less.
Note: I killed Bonemass in the Meadows. I wasn't getting anywhere with him in the Swamp so I drew him a hundred meters or so into a wooded part of the Meadows. I then ran out of his sight and circled back to my camp with portal to rest, repair my gear, and get more food and meads. Bonemass stayed pretty much where I left him in the Meadows. He was much easier to fight there than in a Swamp.
