Triss joins Ciri on one of her (drug-induced) prophetic visions. The prophecy: pain and death. Triss also discusses her experience in the war against Nilfgaard: pain and death.

Geralt and Ciri are traveling to Kaer Morhen, but this chapter spends most of its time with Dandelion. Dandelion first regales a crowd (and us readers) with a handy recap of the story so far, then he meets a very enthusiastic fan. Unfortunately this person is a fan not of Dandelion but of torture. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (00:16) - Intro(00:30) - Recap(02:33) - Chapter 1(17:57) - OutroWe are Alice Sullivan, Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake.Find us at armadillo.club!Music: Intrigue by Alexandr Zhelanov licensed under CC-BY 4.0.

Geralt, convalescing in a rag-cart after being trenched by some bridge ghouls, has a series of combo hallucination/flashbacks which fill in several blanks in his situation.

Geralt journeys to the heart of the wild woods of Brokilon. He mostly manages to not get killed by the dryads. He also runs into one Ciri, a child who appears to be his Destiny.

Geralt meets a mermaid! Not a little one, a regular-sized one. He also meets a beautiful and intriguing bard (also regular-sized).

Geralt and Dandelion meet up with Dandelion's old friend Dainty the merchant. But not really, because Dainty has been replaced by a shapeshifter!

Geralt is living with his on-again (but mostly) off-again true love, Yennefer. Things are perfect though, because Yennefer doesn't like to be pinned down and Geralt might be an emotionless mutant. They form a love/hate triangle with another wizard, Istredd, and things end sadly for all involved. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (00:16) - Intro(00:32) - Recap(01:19) - A Shard of Ice(29:02) - OutroWe are Alice Sullivan, Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake.Find us at armadillo.club!Music: Intrigue by Alexandr Zhelanov licensed under CC-BY 4.0.

It's basilisks and mercenaries, witchers and dragons in The Bounds of Reason, the first story of Sword of Destiny. Geralt teams up with a dragon slaying crew (despite being a non-slayer himself) as they hunt down a dragon for its loot. Why would he join?

First: The Lesser Evil, in which Geralt encounters a very grim take on Snow White. Snow White is a sexy mutant bandit who is out for revenge on, well, basically everybody.
