&lt;p&gt;The party had entered the &lt;em&gt;Hall of Seven Pillars&lt;/em&gt;. We paid our &amp;ldquo;tax&amp;rdquo; to security. We were free to
move about the cabin/cavern. We were also filthy, stinking, exhausted, bloody, and wounded.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session The First</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-1/session-1/</link><pubDate>Sat, 29 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-1/session-1/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="preamble"&gt;Preamble&lt;a class="anchor" href="#preamble"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The game will be AD&amp;amp;D 1st edition. We&amp;rsquo;ll be able to hit the ground running if everyone can roll
characters up on their own pre-game. I&amp;rsquo;m happy to sit in and roll up the character with you if we
can meet up, but since it is a busy pre-holiday week as I write, and we all have jobs, families and
lives, it is fine if you roll up the character on your own. Just get it done before 12/29.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Fourth</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-1/session-4/</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-1/session-4/</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;p&gt;Menka returned from his interview with the demon wench at (9) unscathed. Apparently demonic, the
woman was a creature of surpassing beauty. She stated quite clearly that if we could get Guldar
Heel to free her she would aid the party in its quest to find Melios and the brooch and would be
willing to hand over &amp;ldquo;Hraelock&amp;rsquo;s&amp;rdquo; treasure.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Thirteenth Pt. 2</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-2/session-13-2/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-2/session-13-2/</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;p&gt;Having earned some serious gold (and the experience points that go with it) it was time for some
training and levelling up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Arkadios is heading to Byrny to shoot up a congressional baseball game – 31 HP, 6k cost -

&lt;p&gt;You are contacted in your chambers by Bentley Mirrorshade of The Friendly Arm. Johann Hadrigan
requests a meeting. Bentley offers a room off the main bar. The meeting is requested presently.
He explains that Hadrigan has been aggressive in demanding a resolution of this issue, has paid
well for his stay here, and that the Friendly Arm would like this guest to conclude his business
and depart peacefully. He will await your response.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session The Fourteenth</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-2/session-14/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-2/session-14/</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;p&gt;The ettins had attacked the party mid-day. Several party members were sorely wounded after the
battle. Menka cured light wounds on Lycovyne for 7 points and twice on Ulland, bringing both
characters to 27 points. The party decided to travel a bit more before healing and resting and
headed northeast. Strangely, we did not keep a map.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Forty-First</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-3/session-41/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-3/session-41/</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;p&gt;Since our attempt to rest had been disturbed by the Grimlocks, we were still
a mess. Kyril cast &lt;em&gt;dispel magic&lt;/em&gt; on Flint to bring him back to his
usual short size with no apparent effect. Cathal took a pull from Seamus&amp;rsquo;s
mug, getting back 8 hp (31/67). Cathal bound everyone&amp;rsquo;s wounds.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session The Forty-Third</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-3/session-43/</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-3/session-43/</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;p&gt;Having let Legola return to his repose, we decided to rest in the unique Dionysian bar,
heal and regain some spells. We head skittering rocks to the north and a low, indistinct
moaning to the south.

&lt;p&gt;Menka spoke with Aesil about gaining access to the mirror she kept somewhere in the tower. She
was far less than interested in providing access and was neither concerned with events far
to the the south nor with the visions provided to the priest by the messenger of Thoth.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Fifty-Second</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-52/</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-52/</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;p&gt;We sold some extraneous gear and cleaned house a bit. Gonchar and Cathal visited the keep armorer
and got their plate mail repaired.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anticipating 10 days on the road (5 to the Tomb under the cliff and 5 back) we purchased horses,
feed and iron rations for around 278 pieces of gold.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Fifty-Seventh</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-57/</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-57/</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;p&gt;The party emerged from the tomb of the Twice-Crowned into a bowl-shaped, wooded area which clears near the entry to the tomb - the party is stinking, tired, bloodied and bandaged. Two of the party are carrying bags of holding which are overflowing with coinage - luckily, the coins dropping into the dirt all seem to be coppers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Osgoth</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-6/map-key/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-6/map-key/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="osgoth.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note to players: this is a map of the &amp;lsquo;known world&amp;rsquo;. The major regions are denoted by numbers, with descriptions of each set forth below. Each region is summarized in terms of political situations, rulers, gods, terrain and some description of note to adventurers. It is all &amp;lsquo;common knowledge&amp;rsquo; a resident of Osgoth such as yourselves would know. Only major cities are noted (and described below) - no cities are named on the map, because an 8x12 piece of paper didn&amp;rsquo;t allow room. Major geographical features (large mountain ranges, hilled areas, forests (temperate and pine), large lakes, huge swamps, major deserts/steppes, significant islands and the largest rivers) are noted. This is not to say that &amp;lsquo;clear&amp;rsquo; areas on the map do not include smaller forests, mountain/hill regions, lakes, ponds, smaller rivers, swamps or other terrain. Only the major areas are noted. Further, countless smaller keeps, cities, towns and villages exist throughout the continent, and none are noted on this map.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
