We neither need answers nor does Eve require any kind of gift.

Do we need it? No. Do i have a chronic need to gamble and risk? Yes!
 Besides, a gift from the god of war may be just the thing we need to keep eve alive, or we could ask her for all the enemy's troop movements, and eve would have one hell of a reputation as a scout.

[evictedSaint]

I'm gambling we have to hide more often than we have to heal from stabbings.  Please don't leave, helmacon, we need your help to keep Eve safe!

[helmacon]

lol, yea. I didn't mean i was actually leaving the game, I just wanted to make a lotr quote.

also, lets only agree so long as her favor is not Eve.

[evictedSaint]

The stakes are uneven.  Three questions or an indeterminate gift versus an indeterminate favor?  The pot is stacked in her favour, and that's without even knowing the nature of the bet we're taking.  It's a cruel, idle, bored god who gambles with the lives of men.

...and yet...

Maybe I'm just feeling risky tonight, but my gut says take it.  Who dares, wins, right? She'll owe us three answers or a gift, and nothing says we have to ask those questions now.

Take the bet, but Eve is off the table.

"My Sibyl is not a prize to be won or lost.  You may take whatever favor you wish should you win, so long as Eve remains untouched."

Edit:  Do we even know what we would ask, should we win and choose the answers?  If we can't come up with 3 significant questions, I say we take the gift.  An Artifact from the literal God of War would be the best buff we could possibly give her for now.

[helmacon]

plus her brother might tip things in our favor...

[Icefire2314]

I saw do not bet. But if people are certain that we must, make sure Eve is off the table. If she is not please don't bet because she will take Eve.

I'm going to go ahead and assume everyone wants to ask what the wager is before they actually bet.

"Its quite simple, little god. I choose someone, you choose someone, they fight. Winner takes all. And since you're new, I'll let you decide the scale of the engagement. And don't look so pale, you don't have to choose your little girl, nor will I take her from you if I win. I'm capricious, not cruel...Or so I'm told (she looks to George, who just smiles)." You don't really believe the latter bit, but she seems to speak in earnest.

(Now) WDYD?

"Two Battalion captains will see each other on the battlefield. They'll trow their men sort of like those over their.." We point some dudes out.

"..An the one from Eve's nations will triumph by taking out the head of their commander. Deal?"

[evictedSaint]

I'm trying to imagine how Eve would react, knowing her god was betting on the lives of men like common dice.  I think that if we made any bet, it would be Eve versus Ishtar's champion - any other bet would be unjust and ill-fitting for a god such as ourselves.

You excuse yourself from the company of the Gods for but a moment.  Like a feather drifting from the heavens, your presence alights on Eve's shoulder, a neigh imperceptable weight that she feels immediately.  "Child of Alore," you whisper into her mind.  "Now the time has come.  A rare opportunity is presented before you; an Artifact from Ishtar, Goddess of War and Love.  A powerful item, Her Blessing, Her Pardon, Her Key to Her House - this shalt be yours, should you choose to take it.  But be wary, child. Nothing can be gained without Something, and this Something is the life of an Enemy.  You are young, yes, but your hands are steady and your Heart is Fire.  You may choose to spare this unknown soldier, or you may choose to slay, but whatever choice you make know that I, your God, Alore, will be with you always.  You do not fight alone.

What is thy choice, Mortal?"

[3man75]

I was a bit confused how we went talking to a Goddess of war when she left to talking to George and her.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

how's it looking, guys?

[Andres]

The face and neck look a bit too boyish, but the body is good.

[evictedSaint]

It is surprisingly difficult to draw a female disgused as a male like a female.  I need to go back and adjust the facial structure at some point. -_-

A big part of the additional boyish charm came frome the blood-caked eyes.  Dark eye pits is a masculine feature, and I might have over done it

[Andres]

Huh. I thought the eye pits were because she's the avatar of the of the god of Rabbits.
