Kitty from the US and Tracie aka Miss Magitek join Alyssa for our discussion of Andrzej Sapkowski's Baptism of Fire, Chapter 6. Very important bits include: international 'Baptism of Fire' editions, Peter Kenny's triumph, excitement for The Witcher 4, how Ciri fights for herself, the legend of Lara Dorren, our best Yzma impressions, perfect 10-year plans, parallels between the Lodge of Sorceresses and Dune's Bene Gesserit, the mustache-twirling kind of evil, the absence of good, and Hannibal Lecter, gynecologist.
