We've lost a lot to the audio gremlins, and the scars are still clear here. Thank you for bearing with us. We think we have at least a temporary fix for next week. HUGE thanks for your understanding.

We're having some big audio issues. If that's a dealbreaker, check back in TWO weeks and it might be better. Sorry fam

Sorry about the rough recording. We had some real software failure. The episode is merely mangled, not dead, but we're hoping for better next time. Thanks for understanding bye

So, um, it seems like the Watch is actually a significant force. Do you think that's why no one really messes with the Duchy other than that time Grem messed with the Duchy? Ain't bad, is all I'm saying. Oh, also, Catherine has a sick duel this chapter and at one point there's a fun surprise that straight throat ruptures her, so that's fun.

This is such a well named chapter, at least at first, because they do be in tent. That's how armies tend to house themselves.

When you gotta protect your van, who ya gonna call?

In which the Fae fall like chaff and also reap like scythes. It's impressive and terrifying.
