Ep. 100 — Chapter 4 (Part 2) from "Baptism of Fire"

Breakfast in Beauclair

Christiaan from Canada and South Africa and Sophia from Australia join Alyssa for our discussion of Andrzej Sapkowski's Baptism of Fire, Chapter 4 (Part 2). Very important bits include: the trial by ordeal, the stupidest D&D group, the threshold that one needs to achieve to drop a hot horseshoe down a priest's pants, the Nilfgaardian Cavalry workplace comedy we've been waiting for, The Filthy Pelican, morality's role in bravery, the definition of justice, and a bold assertion or a defense? You decide.
