Kvothe continues to introduce us to his travelling companions, and wackiness ensues.

Kvothe introduces us to the Adem warrior known as Tempe. We discuss our first impression of the Adem, including Tempe’s attitude towards his body, and the clothes he wears. We digress briefly to talk about a famous general, before turning back to discuss the ethnicity of the Adem.

Kvothe steals back his lute, and starts to wonder if the Maer has an ulterior motive. We talk about Kvothe’s need for adventure, his youthful naivete, and how this mission is the most dangerous thing Kvothe has yet undertaken on purpose. We also diatribe about the logistics of banditry - and what it might mean for Temerant.

Kvothe assembles his inventory and begins his trip. We talk about the Maer’s uncomfortable suspicions, unspoken stakes, and how to shut down a rebellion before it starts.

The Maer offers a platitude. We talk about Alveron’s psychology, where Kvothe falls in line with the Maer’s morality, and what safe roads might mean to someone who grew up in a travelling troupe.

The Maer alludes to some trouble with the King. We talk about our opinions of the Maer, his fiscal situation, and his canny manipulations of Kvothe.

The Maer appears with a side quest. We talk about the pagan rituals, make an unfortunate allusion to pizzagate, and the Maer’s ambivalence about his engagement.

Kvothe hits the bottle and learns some saucy gossip. We’re back after our long break to talk about the fourth book in the Locked Tomb series, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, and the power of schadenfreude…. Everything except the book, really.
