Violet Gibson, an Irishwoman who attempted to shoot Italy's fascist leader Mussolini, is one among a host of fascinating characters in Evelyn Conlon's new short story collection, Moving About The Place. In 1926, she fired on ‘Il Duce' as he walked among the crowd in a piazza in Rome. Her bullet skimmed his nose. The crowd attacked the would-be assassin, but the police intervened. Violet was committed to an asylum and never released –  the same institution where Lucia Joyce spent more than thirty years. “Difficult women were locked up for all sorts of reasons,” says Evelyn.

In the last two weeks, The Wildcards (our level 12 DnD party) have been dealt a very bad hand... Our story begins after the party has just escaped from the horrors of the 88th layer of the Abyss, The Gaping Maw, but at a great cost. With their friends' lives held hostage, The Wildcards were forced by a cult of Asmodeus, The Revenant Vow, to retrieve an ancient evil artifact, the Blackstaff. Forced to rush, lest their friends be killed, the party plunged deep into the depths of a demonic temple before battling against the keeper of the Blackstaff, The Lich King, Kar'Val. During the battle, Niavere, a founding member of The Wildcards, was killed after saving the party's rogue, Hando (who secretly harboured feelings for her). Devastated at their loss, The Wildcards looted the necromancer's vault and took several treasures (the infamous Blackstaff, a Vile Crown that Kar'Val wore, a mysterious Gate Gem Apparatus, a Book of Vile Darkness that their warlock Gord secreted away, an Infernal puzzle box, a shadowy dagger Whisper, and a magic dispelling longsword Mage's Bane) but were unable to find The Lich King's soul reliquary. Out of time, The Wildcards exchanged the Blackstaff for the lives of their friends, only to uncover that one of those very hostages, their most powerful ally, the wizard Raymond Boralis, had betrayed them and joined forces with The Revenant Vow. Now wielding the evil staff, Raymond honoured the agreement of their deal and let them leave with their lives. Devastated, The Wildcards escaped the abyss (with the aid of a divine ally, Erathol) and found themselves back on the material plane. They'd been transported to The Platinum Sanctuary, a legendary hall of heroes thought lost to history for centuries. Our game picks off just after having laid Niavere to rest upon a funeral pyre at sunset. Now The Wildcards must regroup and decide their next course of action to protect the realm and defeat The Revenant Vow... The Wildcards party consists of: Alana "Brawly" Brawlin - Level 8 Fighter (Cavalier) / 4 Barbarian (Totem of Bear) Gord Dunsworth III - Level 12 Warlock (Vengeful Soul) Hando The Blue - Level 10 Rogue (Swashbuckler) / 2 Bard M'ari - Level 10 Fighter (Battle Master) / 2 Rogue Valentine Wilde - Level 10 Bard (Lore) / 2 Warlock (Hexblade) --- Follow Hexplorers on Twitter  https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&v=DuJGdtoCzXk&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmZNeVVtYkxCdFZhTlFLRjNiYzByYWlOSHNHUXxBQ3Jtc0trTWpVOFVLcEhxMzlSZ0VUNmFUWEtFc1pQV216T0s5MEkxZjFWbmhOSnR2cWg1RlF0RkdLU3VfeXNoV2ZSUFVFNXVaQ09VVU5SNG9kNnBkN09DcWhvUjMwN0luZGNnRnUzUlA2bXZuNjFSWHRrNWkyNA%3D%3D&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FHexplorersDND (https://twitter.com/HexplorersDND) Watch our campaign on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCThkKOiWuRZ0Qz0QYhXhSGA/ (https://www.youtube.com/HexplorersDnD)

Hi there, my lovelies! I'm comin at ya with the three chapters that set the table for our trio (well, quartet if you count the wheel man) of heroes to attack the scourge hiding in a homeless shelter. But first, we have some family drama to deal with as Murphy finds out her little sister is going to be marrying her ex-husband. Which really truly is SOME SHIT. RoShawn and I talk at length about how very not-okay that is, and how Murphy's mom is defending the baby sister way too much, but that's not really the main plot here so I will leave it at that. The main mystery here is the weird animosity between Ebenzer and Kincaid. RoShawn's ears perk up at the way Kinkaid calls him "Blackstaff" but she can't decide what that could possibly mean. The only thing she knows for sure is that this man is about to be knocked off his pedestal. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon!
