Breakfast in Beauclair

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


Listen Later

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.
