Don Jigote is only too ready to ascribe unexplainable things to wizards. When he is talking to Sancho, they have another fight. The two things coming out of Dottie playing the princess of Macaroni is she is like, hey, you can't take any side quests while you're on my quest, you're not allowed. And this is, the kindly necromancer who's looking out for him is not to be confused with the evil necromancer who walled up his library. Or turned all the giants into windmills to confound him or something,.

Enjoy another episode of our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

These episodes cover Chapters 28-42.

In Episode 5, Don Quixote rejoins the party. and everyone decides to shack up in the only inn/castle in all of Spain. Secondary characters step into the spotlight with their own stories, including a novel-within-a-novel called The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious.

In Episode 6, Don Quixote takes the backseat for a few more chapters. We have to close the book on Cardenio's Crew, finish the story of the Two Friends, and meet a few more ancillary characters who just love this inn.
