As she rides between realms and timelines, Yennefer flees with the Queen, now aware that the King has clearly orchestrated this attack and sent an assassin her way. Yennefer’s tranquil ride is broken by a creature attacking the caravan. Unfortunately her birthright family slaughtered his family and this causes a rift to grow between them. In the forest, Ciri meets up with Dara again and admits to him who she is. As they sit and listen to the entertainment before them, they snub a prospective mate for the Princess given he’s from Nilfgaard and hostilities are still quite high. This inevitably leads the Witcher to sit with the Royal Family but he refuses to help them.
Afterward, Geralt takes a bath as Jaskier mentions a royal ball.ĭressed in seemingly inconspicuous clothes, Geralt’s disguise is quickly extinguished as Mousesack recognizes him immediately and pulls him aside, where they discuss royal affairs. Meanwhile Jaskier listens to men in the tavern spins stories of Geralt’s bravery and wits, before the Witcher himself walks in, covered in guts, prompting the men to chant and cheer for him. She tells them her name is Fiona, before their leader encourages her to follow them. As she regains her wits, she comes face to face with a strange warrior tribe. The midway point of the show also brings up some interesting questions going forward and at a little over an hour, there’s a fair amount of magic and action in this episode to chew over.Ĭiri starts episode 4 of The Witcher wandering through the forest, entranced by the voices before stumbling upon a brilliant yellow light.
Unfortunately, Ciri is captured by a very evil-seeming Nilfgaardian soldier named Cahir-but manages to use her powers to escape.Following several episodes of build-up, The Witcher delivers a really impressive episode, one that finally allows Yennefer to flex her magical muscles whilst starting to intertwine our stories together. CIRI’S TIMELINEġ263: Ciri’s full timeline takes place in 1263, shortly after Nilfgaard captures the Kingdom of Cintra and she’s sent away by her grandmother Queen Calanthe with vague instructions to find Geralt because he is her destiny. But he ends up getting imprisoned (and escapes), which brings us to. No bigs, except two seconds later Pavetta vomits and everyone realizes she’s pregnant-meaning Geralt’s destiny is tied to that child (who ends up being Princess Ciri).ġ256: Geralt and Yennefer meet up when Geralt’s buddy Jaskier gets sick due to releasing a Djinn (similar to a genie), and it’s a whole dramatic thing which ultimately results in Geralt falling for Yennefer and binding them together via Djinn-wish.ġ262: Geralt and Yennefer meet up for a dragon hunt and there’s lots of simmering sexual tension and drama, but they end up parting ways on bad terms when Yennefer learns of his wish.ġ263: Nilfgaard is about to to invade Cintra, so Geralt cashes in on his Law of Surprise in order to claim Ciri and protect her. In Duny’s case, this is Pavetta-since her father was unaware of Queen Calanthe’s pregnancy at the time he was saved.Īnyway, Geralt ends up saving Duny’s life at this party, and Geralt chooses the Law of Surprise as repayment. This dictates that the savior gets something that the saved person already has but is unaware of. What *is* the “Law of Surprise,” you ask? Basically, when a person saves someone’s life (as Duny did with Pavetta’s father), they can ask for the “Law of Surprise” as repayment. The party is interrupted by a man/porcupine (just go with it) named Duny who uses the “Law of Surprise” to claim Pavetta’s hand in marriage.
