&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We gave Heimdell&amp;rsquo;s crowns to Harald and Maeve. Menka returned the holy symbol of Odin to Harald&amp;rsquo;s curate, Olaf Iverson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kyril&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 vials of holy water&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Diamond Spider was, as you know, the local Thieves&amp;rsquo; Guild in Markheim, headed by the owner/proprietor, Spider Braz, and the retinue of dancers, bouncers and barmaids, all of whom were guildmembers, or at least non-thieves in the know and on the payroll. There was a complex system regarding who called be &amp;ldquo;rolled&amp;rdquo; and who should be left alone, and Flint neither fully understood nor got involved in that.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Sixty-Third</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-5/session-63/</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-5/session-63/</guid><description>&lt;div class="session-title" style="text-align: center; font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: 600; color: #b94e48; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;"&gt;

 &lt;td&gt;Menka&lt;/td&gt;

 &lt;td&gt;81/81&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the &lt;em&gt;Temple of Thoth&lt;/em&gt;, Father Malai had described the &lt;em&gt;Hall of Gods&lt;/em&gt; to Menka and stated that it would be a good idea to show proper veneration to the gods if we entered that sacred hall. Father Yuyu had described the prayers and intonations for proper sacrifice and veneration to Osiris for this purpose and Menka made note of it (see 5.6.6).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Interlude I: Creel's Tower</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/interlude-61-62/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/interlude-61-62/</guid><description>&lt;div class="session-title" style="text-align: center; font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: 600; color: #b94e48; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the portal below the tower closed and danger at least temporarily averted, Creel advised the party that he had sent messages out to his fellow 8 wizards (of &amp;lsquo;The Nine&amp;rsquo;) asking for assistance. While the party bivouacked at the tower, some of this aid arrived.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
