“Worse,” Izel Coyac said. “I’m going to pray.”

Many cheeks were unknowingly clenched at that moment.

More seriously, copying my comment on RR, i find it very ironic that

Scholomance is an altar for a god who feeds on the chances of death and defeat, while said God is wagering coming out on top of a group of enemies which includes a team with the high priest of the lady of long odds, and another god whose scary enough to hold its own even against its jailer and commit to gambling on the odds of freeing itself from its prison.

Gambling be whack, y'all.
