Here is the unbetaed chapter 101 of The odds were never in my favour.

Sorry it came so late in the month, but between several unexpected things which happened during the holidays (nothing bad, I will reassure everyone, but it ate my writing time) and the fact this chapter was 15,000 words long by the time I ended it, well...December is about to die, to imitate our dear Professor Trelawney.

I will post the future writing schedule tomorrow, since there's many things which will change, due to...changing circumstances. Curse you, Tzeentch and Loki!

For the betaed chapter, the plan is still to publish it tomorrow, assuming my poor beta manages to correct it in time. I think it will be difficult, but well...that's my fault, not hers.

Happy end of the year 2022, and enjoy!

... and Monty Python strikes again. I laughed.

Thanks for the chapter I eagerly await the update to the writing schedule. I hope the next work you will write more about is the Weaver option with the shear opportunities to escalate even more!!! Angel of escalation

That was awsome, laughs were had. I hope we see more against the odds for more funzies

Wow, Neville’s gone off the deep end. IF he comes down from this, he’s in deep shit. Poor Henri being trapped in that madhouse. And Ra proves once more how much a monster he is. If there is a karma spell, Ra better hope he never gets hit with it. But very nice chapter!

“that strange women lying in ponds are no basis for a system of government! Supreme power can’t derive from some farcical aquatic ceremony!” I don't understand the context of this sentence.

So Osiris is getting personally involved, interesting. I wonder if we'll see more of him intervening. I don't blame Alexandra for hating what the Grail can do; there's cheating, and then there's the Grail. Not to mention that the Light's actions are pushing her closer to the Dark. As I expected, one of the biggest drawbacks of using the Grail like that: arrogance, and the Light wasn't exactly lacking in that to begin with. A very interesting start to the Carnival. Best of luck to you and your beta readers.

So, some speculation on this amazing opening to the carnival civil war. :D Well, Neville, any progress you had made as a person is gone. You're way worse than Leo or Ron now. Regarding the Doge Court and its role. Osiris, per the last chapter, clearly has a role intended for Romeo, even if he isn't giving him explicit marching orders. My speculation says that the Doge's point is to be pressure on the Day Court. Their overwhelming numbers forcing the Day King to invoke Fate to retreat or victory. Based on post third task comments from Lucrezia, this may be their means to have Fate run out so it can't halt their endgame. The Night Court's got its act together so clearly that one really wonders how the Day has a chance, even with the gift of the Grail's blatant cheating. Overwhelming force when you barely know how to control it is just... inadequate. Still, 1 down, 12 to go, so let's see how the Day responds, though the display here doesn't suggest they'll do any better.

Another well developed chapter. And the plot thickens with the revelations about the grail. I'm assuming we are going to see the rest of the miracles it is capable of before the end of the task? The Judgement is for the Plague, the doping power for Wisdom, the healing for in Life, and the way Neville's every command is obeyed for Unity? Or maybe order. I am wondering what could be for innocence... I'm rather amused the way summoning works on this world. The Dark uses temporary "alive" summons to conserve power while the light goes for inanimate artifacts.

Another good chapter of the odds graces us with its existence. I believe I noticed an error at the very end of Lily Evans part in this chapter. Someone (most likely Lilian herself) is identified as the apprentice of knight teacher. shouldn't that be knight Recruiter, because I recall Angelica Sforza being Knight Recruiter (chapters 57/58) and not Knight Teacher (as of chapter 45 that was Gellert Grindelwald)? Apart from that I feel honored that at least parts of my last installments of stuff we aren't going to see made it into this story. Additional stuff that we learned are: - the new champion of unity is going to have a very bad day at the hands of Alexandra, because Ra intends that one to be Alexandra's Nemesis - Longbottom has lost whatever sanity he may have had and Henry might ask for a mercy killing in the future - Lyudmilla will play assassin at least once in the future (it would be a waste of a costume not to and she will not let that happen ... if for different reasons than most would assume) - Just about everyone in the game knows where the day court is living Now onward to stuff that we might not see: - poliakov, the champion of corruption corrupting the grail ritual with his willing death. "yeah, sure, go ahead and kill me. I'm a fuckup anyway." - Last words of Poliakov, while chained to stoneslab and about to be sacrificed - Lyudmilla getting in and out of Ca'Luce unseen and undetected (for a given value thereof .... corpses are notoriously bad at seeing and detecting after all)and generally having fun at it

Amazing chapter! Loved it and can’t wait for the next update! Also loved the Monty Python reference!

One small petty peeve I think should be mentioned. How did Faulk already have Ducats ? I mean we didn't get the whole explanation behind all the rules but I don't remember if it was mentioned how they are aquired except through some of the keys? Did the champions already start with some?

(1) So I read Osiris's warning about the 5th champion... and I am wondering if the Malfoy's are about to lose an heir. See Lancelot I believe is supposed to be French per Arthurian Legend and considering his betrayal of his king I could see the resulting line being stuck with a family name along the lines of "Bad Faith". (2) Pure guess, but we have been told to trigger the Plagues from the Holy Grail requires a sacrifice of an unwilling Dark Champion. Could the reverse, a sacrifice of willing Light Champion, in theory undue the affects or damage that aspect of the Chalice? I was figuring since Henri only has limited moments of control it might represent his revenge against Ra - destroying his mind control device and saving Venice and the Dark from the Plagues.

First off, happy birthday! This was an awesome opening to the start of the fourth task! If they all end on cliff hangers, I might need some hair color…. Could Henri be set up as an internal saboteur? Is his power of Order keeping him somewhat “aware” during his moments of lucidity? Poor Neville, just when he was becoming a somewhat tolerable individual his free will is high jacked and his arrogance level shot through the stratosphere, undeservedly so…. Fingers crossed when the judges see him aged up he at least looses some points for cheating! Poor dark champions, thousands of hours of blood, sweat, and tears countered effortlessly through cheating… something is going to have to give before it breaks…. Going to have me feverishly rereading several chapters to catch some dropped hints on the new Unity champion aka Alexandra’s cannon fodder…. I think of the three courts, the Night court is the only one who showed up and showed out… here’s hoping there’s some more fish slapping silliness and soliloquies in the Night courts future!

Thanks for the chapter. Interesting to see the contrasting strategies. The Night Court seems to be trying to win by grabbing the keys. The other courts seem to be relying on force instead. If the Night Court keeps being able to figure out where the keys are and the other courts continue to not spot the keys that is going to give the Night Court a huge advantage because while the judges are picking the battlefields only the Night Court will be able to prepare them.
