Bo from the US and Gaby from Guatemala join Alyssa for our discussion of Andrzej Sapkowski's Baptism of Fire, Chapter 5, Part 2. Very important bits include: the classic fish soup scene, being bratty about who you share destinies with, Geralt's motivations, togetherness and camaraderie, and Therapy with a Vampire.
