Much More. A cleaned-up, velvet-clad Geralt arrives at the banquet—a marriage feast thrown for Calanthe's daughter, Pavetta. Suitors from different kingdoms are in attendance, all vying for Pavetta's hand in marriage. Mousesack, who we first met in episode one, has his money on Crach an Craite—a rowdy, beer-swigging young lad who you may remember meeting on Skellige, as an older man, in The Witcher 3.

Occasionally the assembled lords argue and wrestle. Pavetta is not impressed by their loutishness, nor does she seem interested in any of them.

Calanthe makes a dramatic entrance, armour splattered with blood. Her subjects cheer. Later, Geralt asks her why she fights when she could just sit on her throne in comfort. I also get the impression that Calanthe has the hots for Geralt.

But who wouldn't? Geralt responds as he usually does, with a grunt. Back in Brokilon Forest, the leader of the group, whose name we still don't know, reveals to Ciri that they are not elves, but dryads—a race of all-female wood nymphs who have lived in the forest for aeons. Ciri is relieved to be reunited with Dara and watches as one of the dryads removes the arrow from his shoulder, healing it with a magical water.

He was the only survivor, because he fled. Ciri refuses to believe that her grandmother, Calanthe, would do such a thing. He's laughed out of the room, Calanthe telling him Nilfgaard is the "shit rag of the south. Maybe she should've been nicer to the lad, eh? Then, suddenly, a commotion.

A man wearing an armoured helm fights his way into the feast, kneels before the Queen, and says he's come to claim Pavetta's hand. She's a "glorified royal arse wiper" who has spent the last three decades "cleaning up stupid political messes. Somewhere on the road to… somewhere , Yennefer is bored. She's riding in a wagon with Queen Kalis of Lyria, who laments her life, describing herself as little more than a "fleshy contraption for squeezing out heirs.

Yennefer says her life isn't much better. She thought becoming a king's mage was her destiny. Instead, she's a "glorified royal arse wiper" who has spent the last three decades "cleaning up stupid political messes.

Then, in a flash, her life suddenly gets more exciting. A sword rips through the canvas above her, its blade coated in blood. Yennefer opens a window in the wagon and sees fighting outside, her face splattered with more of the red stuff.

She steps outside and the soldiers accompanying the Queen are dead, gutted. Then the assailant appears: a cloaked mage accompanied by a nasty-looking, crab-like critter with razor-sharp claws.

Yennefer springs to action, conjuring up a portal and escaping into it with the terrified Queen and her child. It seems the King has had enough of his wife not being able to produce a male heir, and has sent this assassin to kill her. What follows is a thrilling portal chase through a series of wildly different landscapes: a desert, a rain-soaked village, a barren wasteland.

But Yennefer can't shake the assassin: he's tracking something the Queen is wearing. This is not to suggest that he was not perfectly happy killing innocent bystanders and just plain anyone he felt like. He seemed to have issues with the power arrangements. When Geralt finds himself unexpectedly incarcerated at the beginning of Chapter II, it turns out that the Professor is one of his fellow inmates, but not for long. The Professor was bailed out of jail by persons unknown, leaving Geralt to stew, but not before taunting him a little, as bad guys do.

Their second encounter comes at the end of Chapter II when the witcher must again face him and Azar Javed. Their third encounter is their last. It is the Professor's second last encounter with anyone or anything. His last rendezvous is with a hungry kikimore queen.

Witcher Wiki Explore. The comment section of the Aleksandra Skiba artwork is filled with praise, as the piece feels like a perfect blend of the two series. Ciri is a central character of The Witcher 3 , and someone who could possibly be the main playable character in a future game in the series, which is something many are hoping for. She is a complex character, but one that is strong, brave, and determined. She would make an excellent assassin in the Assassin's Creed franchise as well, but a crossover likely isn't happening any time soon.

Still, it is fun to imagine Ciri skydiving off of an incredibly high building into a pile of hay.
