 &lt;td&gt;Kyril&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;69/69&lt;/td&gt;

 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Lycovyne&lt;/td&gt;

 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Gonchar&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;100/100&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Flint&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;72/72&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Cathal&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;67/67&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Tim&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;36/36&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
 &lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;Seamus&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;78/78&lt;/td&gt;
 &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We spoke at length with Teos at the bar. He was loquacious in his gratitude and willingly answered our questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creel&amp;rsquo;s tower was less than a day&amp;rsquo;s ride from the Horne&amp;rsquo;d Lamb. The good barkeep told the party that to simply touch the walls of Creel&amp;rsquo;s tower was &amp;hellip; dangerous. Creel himself is a good man and had long held commerce and communication with the Inn as well as the surrounding area. Creel&amp;rsquo;s wife had died of some unspecified malady - perhaps plague, all sudden-like, and while Creel was out - and the man had not been the same since. Creel had turned to the dark arts of necromancy in an effort to bring his beautiful wife back to life. Teos had nothing but praise for Illyssa.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session the Sixtieth</title><link>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-60/</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://evilblacksword.us/chapter-4/session-60/</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;

&amp;ldquo;When I get my hands on Kyril&amp;rsquo;s evil sword shit&amp;rsquo;s gonna get real around here very quickly&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the chiming ended, the carvings on the walls cease their infernal undulations. The footsteps we heard outside the room became louder and suddenly 4 subhumans dressed in archaic scale mail broke through the door - three carrying odd, curved battleaxes, one wielding a glistening, dripping dagger. The subhumans launched into the room among us while a creature, human-sized but like a large octopi, ambulating with a sickening undulating gait on its tentacles, glaring eyes in its large head, stayed in the doorway. The creature began to wave its tentacles and the familiar reality distortion field filled the room. The cleric failed his &lt;em&gt;save vs. spell&lt;/em&gt; and was incapacitated and disoriented. The rest of the party made their save.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
