Really happy to meet you again on the BB field Sensei Bantha! My best time that i had at BB2 was with my vampire team at BC2 and all the advice and exchange of knowledge that we had about Vampires made enjoying more BB.

I'm sure that will be a great division, until the vampires come back (or Strikes back) we will bash!

See u in the field.

Greetings my old friend. 

We are probably biding our time, until the Cyanide finally open the tombs and the Lid to the masters of the night. 
It will be another kind of Vampires survival, but it is all fun.

 

To our current embroys, you have a nasty team there, I rejct all kinds of ideas to play the green scabbed race, they are for rookies.

Of course powerful without a doubt. Yours are greener than most. I'm not sure I want an early game or late in the season. 

 

But when time comes, lets continue the Vamp section to fill it with new blood and fresh teams

[Bantha]

The History of the book.

The Pre 2 B-season

 

<Grus> “WHOW DUDE!”

Both brothers stared at each other with eyes fully open and the mouth likewise. 

Sand looked at the book, the pages turned themself as the voice told the story. Just as it was reading the books for them. 

<Sand> “It’s Magic beyond everything we have seen!”

<Grus> “There is some text here written”

It was like a glass magnifier, tilted so the one sitting in the chair could get a closer look at the book. 

Grus moved around a bit to get a better view.

Sand grabbed his brother's shoulder clinging on also trying to get a view, but the angel was wrong.

<Sand> “What do you see?”

Grus pressed the lower part of the magnifier.

<Grus> “There it is”

He liked his lips while adjusting the focus with small tiny movements 

Grus read it slowly

<Grus> “S e a s o n 2, Season 2, that is it, and theeen” 

<Grus> “Our t e a…. n, no it¨s a M, and then bfre e tart, hmm”

<Sand> “Let me see”

Sand leaned over to get a better look.

<Sand> “Ahh, Our teams before we start”

They looked at eachother. 

<Grus> “What does that say?”

Sand leaned over to see the back or the front actually of the cover.

Touching the cover.

<Sand> “OZZ Top’s journey in Orca Cola Championship”

<Grus> “Ahh OCC that I heard about. Do you remember our dad used to talk about it every sunday. He always looked through the old games.” 

<Sand> “Yes that is true, it was the only thing we could pay on that liquid window on the wall.”

Again, they looked at each other and then on the mid button, between the arrow to the left and the arrow to the right. They both reached forward and pressed the button.

CLICK

 

And the mystical voice started again. 

 

<Viccy> Shall we take them by TV rating?

<Coach B> Lets do that.  

<Viccy> First out is then @Khuno Tridentis’s team

The General broke in.

<General> Sorry, but He is just the coach, it is not His team, just saying

<Viccy> We know, Okey?

Viccy inhaled like, Oh my god body language. 

<Viccy> It is Elves, called Elven Union apparently, they need to be special. Why not just Elves. 

<General> It’s just a contract thing, Money if that tells you anything.

<Viccy> 13 players, 2 Blitzer at lvl 4 and lvl 2,double blodge, one tackle diving tackle, could be a pesky one. 

Viccy waited on some feedback but when none came she continued.

<Viccy> One Thrower, Long bomber for sure, Geez. Two catchers Lvl 1 and Lvl 3 blodger ofc

<Viccy> and 8 lino’s. one DP, two with dodge. 

<Coach B> They will probably get some inducements over and over. who is currently 150k beyond, and Strong Coach

<Viccy> That will be 5 teams including ours. 

B nodded with a bit concerned look. 

<Viccy> Prediction #6? 3,3,3 

<Coach B> Yes to little dodge, but some will face the elven deal, when they just run through whatever to set up, will they hold all the bash? Any damage?

<Viccy>  They have several dmg on blitzers and some linos.

<Coach B> with win rate at 33% 5-7

 

<Viccy> Then we have @Cereal Killer with Nurgle at 1,305k

<Viccy> We are looking at 1 Rotspawn with block, 4a bloaters only one with block, then 1 killer, claw, MB, pro, block, one ball handler block extra arm pro. 2 more rookies and 4 rotters where one has pro. 2 Season old. Looks a but thin. 

<Coach B> Hmm, well it will be tough, do we say #9 he has win rate 27%, without knowing the rest?

 

<Viccy> Sure, then we have @Borke, doing the Underworld at 1,335k. BlockGuard Troll, Gutter Runner blodge and extra head. One Blitzer, MB Horns, tackle. One Dump off thrower, with block. Sounds trickzy.

3 clan rats one with wrestle two rookies. 

5 Goblins and two with skills, a Horns and a foul appearance

2 rookie snottlings.  

 

<Coach B> Very all round hmm, can he make it Old Bork, I wonder. 7-10 I think. Win rate 38%, mm I think he will surprise some of the others. 

 

<Viccy> Then there is @DakaMan, with Orcs, at 1,355k. 4 blitzer 2 block/mb/guard, 1 going with frenzy MB tackle, last with MB. 

<Coach B> I just hate them.. Brrr.. 

<Viccy> Then the four BOB, or now rephrased as BUB, Big Un Blocker, 2 Blok MB, 1 block 1 rookie. 5 Lino 2 with block one thrower rookie. 

<Coach B> Always serious trouble with that Green dudes. I think for us they are trouble, vs other Orcs they then have some disadvantage. But they have the numbers also, Maan. 3-5 place? But looking at win rate %15, it might be lower, like last actually.. I’m puzzled.’

 

<Viccy> Cool, then we have our Old @danton at 1,370k, 2 seasons head to head, and one win each. 

We are looking at the 6 BO, 4 block 2 MB 2 guard 2 rookies. Trouble trouble. 

1 troll sitting with Guard. 

6 gobbos with various skills, we have tackle, DP, Sneaky, two surehands, one tackle/pro. 

<Coach B> Pretty solid team, sitting at low TV, can they endure and get on top of the other orcs? 4-6? With win rate 50% he might be higher.

 

<Viccy> Then we go to 1,465k with @Leffe75, stepping up almost 100k. Nurgle team 2, 

Starting with Rotspawn, sitting with Guard and SF, perfect. 

4 Bloaters, Block on all two with guard. Looking solid. 

4 Pestigors, One ball handler surehand block, move+, Block MB on one, and Block and last is rookie. 

4 Rotters, one DP, Sneaky, one wrestle 2 rookies. 

<Coach B> Super stable team, 31% win rate, will probably increase looking at the team. Still, 4-6 I'd imagine.

 

<Viccy> Then we go to, ahh @Pidpad, he is actually at TV 1,425k Old world. 

win rate 47%

Treeman with Guard

2 happy halfings, one with sneaky one rookie

2 blockers with Guard, thats 2 dwarfs 

1 Dwarf blitzer, Guard.

1 Slayer MB

5 Lino’s, only one rookie, other are lvl 3, one lvl wrestle, pretty nice block wrestle, frenzy mix.

1 rookie thrower 

1 blitzer with MB

<Coach B> Low on tackle but average good.skills.Looking firm. Pretty likely to land top mid section I’d think. 

 

<Viccy> Then we have ooh, our team at 1,530k. 55% win rate, starting to look good. but can we handle all the big bashers, we are like a mix.

<Coach B> Well we can and history tells me we are doing good vs the less “only” bash teams so this can be tricky. Aim on top level to go through to the champs again and I think we can do it. 

 

<Viccy> Then we go to the @Spydyr and the Liz, sitting at a TV 1,550k, win rate 56%

6 Sauruse’s All block and then a mix with Guard and MB, one tackle one MG. 

5 skinks one dp, sneaky, two others lvl3 and two lvl1

1 Cameleon move 8,

1 rookie crox, sitting at 11 spp, so probably aiming for block. 

<Coach B> Lizards are really the threat here for all, so strong and fast. Mm, top 3 endings are pretty likely. Then he is also called TheSpydyr in the client, and "only" Spydyr in this area, interesting, was that allowed?

 

<Viccy> Last is then @Regor, fantastic Orcs at 1,610. Rate at 55%

4 blizers MB on all Guard on all, tackle SF, really solid. 

4 BUB, Block Guard and 2 Guard no block.

Troll with Guard

1 Thrower with leader + movement

3 lino one with block

<Coach B> Super Green! Will the inducements drop them, I think not. top 1-3 ending for sure.

The Bookworm

S2, Game 1

 

The story continues and Grus and Sand have been enjoying all kinds of games told by the strange device in the big room.

Grus and Sand only listen so some chapters of one of the books already provided in the side stand. They both missed the end of the chapter as they fell asleep listening to the humble voice telling the story of old. 

When Grus suddenly woke up, rubbing his hands around the eyes to get rid of some eye crumbs. What was that sound, so subtil and hard to recognize at all. 

 

He thought he saw something, some movement on the big page of the book. 

Grus rose gently from his current sleeping position and moved silently inch by inch.  

What was that, if it was not just an illusion.

Grus scanned the area while listening to Sand’s heavy breathing. 

There was the magnifier glass, he reached his arm to get it. 

Firm in his grip, he put his weight on the left hand and moved slowly towards the book. 

Sand moved in his sleep, 

<Sand> Stop it, I do not want it anymore!

He mumbled in his sleep. 

 

Grus leaned over to see what is was.

Then suddenly Sand screamed like he was stabbed.

Grus jumped to the side, lost his balance and fell down from the table. 

Nimble as he is, he landed on the floor with the magnifier still in his right hand. 

<Sand> What the hell are you doing! ahh my toe!

Sand rubbed his toe while looking around for the cause. 

When Grus head popped up beside him.

<Grus> Darn we lost IT!

Sand looked around puzzled. 

<Sand> We lost what?

<Grus> I do not know, some THING on the book!

The four eyes looked at the open book over and over. 

Yelling <Grus> And Now it is gone, thank you very much Sand!

Still rubbing his foot and toe.

<Sand> Well learn not to step on my toe then, MR Grus!

With a big yawning <Sand> What shall we listen to now, I’m hungry.

<Grus> I want some breakfast too, how do we do this?

 Sand shrugged.

<Sand> I guess you stepped on  my toe means it is on you to bring the breakfast. 

Ending the sentence with a begging smile. 

Grus laughed and then they both laughed.

<Grus> I will be right back brother!

 

Some time went and then Sand heard his whistling brother from below.

His brother came up from the stairs and pulled out a basket of breakfast. 

It had all the delicious things Sand could imagine. 

They both joined in, eating apples, cake, eggs, it was all there. 

<Sand> I picked up chapter 1 in the Season 2 from OZZ Top, shall we listen while we enjoy the wonderful breakfast?

Grus just nodded. 

Then Sand pressed Play. 

 

The Now familiar voice started up.

Telling the story when OZZ Top faced Festering Fantasies.

The commentator of the game talked about how more impressive the coach Cereal Killer was than the coach Banthas name caused. 

They went through the teams telling strength vs weaknesses. 

In game Cereal killar got enough to bring in an extra apo and the Star Player with ball and chain. Who can avoid one red card for free. ‘

Impressive, and while Grus and Sand listen to the game they also could watch the game in the miniature board just in front of them, letting the show be shown as is. 

It was a powerful display by listening to commentators and being able to view it all. 

It also showed the parts from the crowd, out pushed dudes trampled with joy from either side. It was a bloody game on the pitch and also if you happen to leave it.

 

The game itself turned out to be quite one sided. The OZZ Top, lifted out several of the Nurgle team members and as the star of the team was already missing from the last game, it was uphill. 

But they battled with what they had removed one Mummy early on with the ball and chain. Ozz still managed to out score the Nurgle team with 3-0 in the end. 

It was a game of bloodbowl like many others. 

 

In the end Grus started to stare at the book, and Sand gave him a puzzled look. 

<Sand> What are you doing brother?

Grus lifted his magnifier again and made a hush expression with his other hand. 

He then listened to the end of the game and with a gaping mouth stared at a little creature running from left to right over the book and the text. 

The end came and the creature stared back at Grus.

 

Grus asked with open eyes <Grus> Can you hear me?

The little one looked to be nodding. It looked like a moth. Small tiny wings, and it had glasses over the eyes. 

<Sand> Who are you talking to?

Sand looked around to see if there was someone else in here.

But he did not see any.

Then he gasped too.

Sand pointing, <Sand> Look it is a bookworm!

<Grus> What are you doing?

He told this with a gesticulating mouth expression, like the bookworm was deaf. 

From the device, came the familiar voice again.

<Maz> I’m doing what you ask the device to do.

<Grus> Who are you

At the same time trying to locate where exactly the sound came from.

<Maz> I am Maz, or that was what the creator told me. 

<Sand> Is he a moth, how can that be?

<Grus> Tell me Maz, how long have you been here?

<Maz> Since the creation of the device. It is my blessing and my curse. 

<Sand>How old are you my little friend?

Staring at the creature through the magnifier. 

<Maz> I do not know. As you know, I love books so he promised me I will be with books until the end of my time. It sounded good to me. Little did I know what he meant. Since that day, I was blessed with the ability to speak but the device expands my tiny voice in an odd way. For me there is no time before, as I do not remember it. I also guess there is nothing after as this device also keeps me alive. Once it fails for any reason I will perish with it. So I do not think about it so much. 

<Grus> But what is it that you do?

<Maz> I just read the books you would like to listen to. The books in here are also connected to the show on the board there. When it is possible to express the story with bloodbowl show, else I just read what you tell me to prepare. Using the buttons over there to identify the what. 

<Sand> How many books are there? Have you read them all?

There were no reply to the question. 

<Grus> Maz do you know how many books we have in here?

<Maz> I have no clue, and I do not think I have read them all. This place has been empty for quite a long time. The device will do your bidding, I do not remember which has been read or which has not. 

Both Sand and Grus stared at each other, with no clue what to do next. 

Sand took an apple from the breakfast, which was almost what was left. 

 

Sand looks up in the ceiling, on the fantastic lamp. 

<Sand> Maz, do you mind reading the second game in season two for us?

Again, there were no reply. 

<Grus> I think we just need to press play, and I don't mind listening a little more. 

[Bantha]

The Escape

S2, Game 2

 

<Mack> Run Bantha RUN!!!

Mack shouted

We were in the sewers, running below the bowling arena.’

I was drained in filth and smelly sticky things, I did not dare to even think what it was. 

Down here, the ceiling was very low, made for skavens running around with the backs tilted. 

And it just struck me, I have never seen a skaven  running upwards with stretched back. They are always hulking when they move, even in the open. 

There was a narrow passage. I pressed my face up to the upper wall to get that last sip of air. 

I just went down in the dirt. I did not even dare to open my eyes. All the toxic in this liquid river was just containing everything. And probably contaminating everything. We just escaped Nurgles team, is this how they will get revenge upon us?

My hands were fumbling in the “water”, when suddenly something grabbed my shirt and pulled me upwards. Air!! I could breath my lungs was about to burst. 

<Bantha> How long was I down there Mack?

Mack who just saved me from some bullies. He showed me the escape route just a few minutes ago. 

<Mack> It was just some few seconds boss.

<Bantha> Do not call me boss, you are not in the team, and it is only the team I boss around with. 

Mack laughed, in an open and honest way. 

<Mack> Whatever you say.

As he pulled me up he removed some odd things from the backside of the shirt, and throw it back into the filthy running river.  

<Mack> You can thank me laters…. dude. 

<Bantha> Who sent you?

Mack looked surprised, like I did not know, for real?

<Mack> A Little girl with a big purse. 

It must have been Viccy then. I could not imagine anyone else.

What did she know this time?

 

The team of OZZ Top had just joined the stadium, everyone was getting prepared for the game. 

MD2 vs the second Nurgle team this season and the last one. But this team was much more advanced than the last one. 

Far from the arena, I slowed down with a hand on my belly, I could not take it anymore. 

I threw up several times. First when lunch and breakfast was out of my body, I stopped but my body continued to shake. I felt pale as a zombie. 

Mack pulled out a bottle, cracked it open and handed me it.

<Mack> This will do you good. 

I took it with my hand still shaking.

<Bantha> I need a bath, I must get out of these clothes. 

I drank and drank, and drained the bottle. It was too much in one go.

I had to fight to keep the liquid inside me.

<Mack> I was told strictly to take you directly to the General. 

With a nod we took off, and I had to keep a steady pace to not lose him.

 

Some corners later, we arrived. Mack opened the door and showed me in. 

The general stood there with a handkerchief over his mouth and nose. 

He had a big towel in his hand.

<General> Just get out of those clothes and do it fast, ohh my god what a stench.

I was more than happy to get out of them, once out I stretched for the towel. The General gave it and made a “follow me” gesture with his head.  

 

We went down and there were two girls pouring hot water in a bathtub.

He nodded towards me in a “jump in”.

I felt so dirty, I did not care about how I looked. Just dropped the towel and stepped in.

The water was hot as hell, struggling to breathe, but forced me to breathe in and breathe out. slow and steady. 

<General> Thanks Li and Lo, here you go, I handle the rest. 

He gave the ladies some coins and turned towards me and handed me some soap. 

I did not linger one bit. The soap felt so good, rubbing my face at first. 

I continued with the body as The General told me what he knew. 

 

<General> So, Viccy warned me just an hour before the game. You know she has contacts.’

I nodded while rubbing in my legs.

<General> Someone had thrown lots of money in this game. Some other forces replied with actions “Take out the coaches”. I did not know what that meant. 

So I called in Mack, one mission: Get you OUT a live. 

We heard that @Leffe75 was not so lucky.

I stopped washing.

<B> Leffe75 coaching “the Worst team Inc”? Who we were to face?

General nodded with a sigh. 

<General> Condition unknown, he is at the hospital now. I am not sure he will manage to get back again until some days.

<B> What about our game then?

<General> The OCC will manage some results with fare outcomes.  

The leaders are not looking lightly at this. Whoever did this, needs to hide for a while. 

 

End of chapter. 

 

Grus looked at Sand.

<Grus> What the hell, what was that all about? 

<Sand> How odd, but we have the popcorn here so, just continue who is next then can you see that?

<Grus> Some Bee and Ork

<Sand> BeYork, who is that?

<Grus> Nono, Borké

<Sand> Is he French? Borkéee

<Grus> No, nothing like that I…. think just Bork with an e like @Borke. 

<Sand> So it is orcs?

<Grus> No no no, it is his name you know and he spells it like that. No meaning, I guess. 

Sand looked at him with open eyes.

<Grus> Trust me man, this will be a fun game, it is Underworld Denizens

<Sand> Whow, play play play

And sand took some popcorn and consumed them eager to listen on the game. ‘

Grus smiled, eagerly pressed Play

The Borke

S2, Game 3

 

The Game 3 announcers presented from the insanely large talking scope, “We present to you the power of the Revenants and its Warpstone leader B_O_R_K_E!!”

The crowd went bananas and lots of merchandise was thrown into the field bearing the name BORKE in red with a black background. The test was clouded in a glowing Green color. They had lots of fans, indeed the skaven and goblin brotherhood of Warpstone. 

 

They all came in bowing and clapping hands while a team of 6 honored guards was pulling a chart where the Big hero BOB was laying while a snotling was waving a huge leaf as a fan, cooling off the big brute.  

When in the center of the arena even more merchandise was lobbed into the field. 

 

Then the prononcer shouted “As the opponents for the day, the Undead Shambling OZZ TOP!”

There was nothing else presented, the ghouls entered first clapping hands followed by the wights with shining armour. But the reaction from the crowd was not really the same, the fans charing was minor compared to the number of the mixed skaven och goblin team. 

Only from one section was yelling and screaming in favor of the undead. 

 

Coach B heard Viccy whistling and pointed to all the crap on the field. 

<Viccy> They really need to clean this mess up before we start, but I think I will see if we should not also have some merchandise ehh. Just look at all the fans spend money on. 

Coach B nodded without any more comments. 

The mummies entered lastly moving over the arena with slow big steps one at a time. 

Then there were a skaven from the crowd who got a perfect throw, aimed at Dusty Hill, and BANG. The cap had the same color, Red, black and glowish green. The name was clear, BORKE but is now sat on the head of Dusty Hill. Tons of laughter bursted out from all sides, as Dusty Hill did not really notice the Cap. He just moved along. 

Once in the mid the teams faced each other and made some odd movements or dances etc, they all had their own rituals.

Finally Billy Gibbons, the other Mummy, picked the cap signed Borke from Dusty and threw it in the brown green grass and stomped on it with his foot. 

Even Bob made a giggle, just imagine a giggling troll. 

 

Then the teams went to the side to talk to coaches and the other part of the team. 

Suddenly some wolfriding goblins came out dragging a sort of big metal rake. 

After a few well planned runs the entire field was ready for the game. 

 

The referee faced B&B (Borke and Bantha) tossed the coin and Borke won and selected to receive.
Undead settled up as they had practiced. This time two Ghouls were fielded. 

Borke had brought a wizard and a starplayer, the bomber. 

 

Both Grus and Sand could see all this in the magic field on the big stone desk.
It was truly magical, Sand could not believe who created all this spectacular stuff. 

Even the wizard standing in the boot was clear with his long tophat and blue robe. His magical staff stood amazingly on its own just beside him. It was clearly not a walking stick. but supporting him in the web weaving of magical powers which was just an area as many others far far from Sands beautiful mind.

 

Bomber Dribblesnot the Star player had also joined the company of Borke’s team. The long metal nose mask looked really proper on the goblin. The backpack was loaded with bulging bombs. Bob took as usually the center of the midline of the field. together with two skaven facing the three doomed Zombies. 

 

Somehow the warpstone avengers had a dispute of some part who should be where, and when they were ready the undead had reformed the previous start up, and now the big Mummy Dusty Hill was just one square meter from the ball. 

Also the ghoul Billy Ethridge was lurking behind the mummy. 

 

The Zombies was pummeled to the ground and it took them one round to just recover, still they were on the field. The Nible team of Borke showed what speed is about and suddenly the ball was transferred to the thrower Doctor Downtown, who took up the pace and like that the ball with the protective cage was formed on the other side of where it just landed. The Killer Hans Hurt flew forward and got Frank Beard down with a power blow. 

 

The other mommy moved up, blocking an easy path to the defense zone of undead and Angus “Thunder” Young, flew forward to get the ugly goblin Gary, who looks really scary of the field but he could not break his armour. 

In response Dusty Hill was, downed and removed by Hans and zombie was stunned again, while the ball was safely return to the center now with BOB in the commanding role again. 

 

<Coach B> What the hell does he had on his head, can we not just roll ten more bandages around his head, how can he get the injuries so often!!

It was a rhetorical statement and not a question to answer.  

Some defense setup covering the opening right and left, mummy covering the left side of the undead and Antenna the zombie walked up to tag Hans the killer. 

Angus flew forward with an aim to harm the Gutter runner Dave Dodgealot, and as the mummy the strike sent him off, but no injury.

 

The lino skaven Mickey Mullet was really pissed off to see his dear friend Dave left the pitch and pummeled down Angus, there were a loud crack of bones, and Angus left the pitch. Even the magical protections did not manage to heal the wound, he was not seen anymore in this game. 

With both killer Angus and one mummie out, it looked a bit problematic for the undead. 

The movement of the ball was just some squares to the right, and covered from all angles it looked safe. Undead moved ahead trying to cover the possible paths. Ending with a possible chain push on Bob, but it failed and bob hit Afterbruner II to the ground. 

That opened up a bit, blitzing free the killer Hans, running down supporting a hit on Lanier Greg the ghoul, only pushing him though. 

The ball just slides to the right one square in the undead defense zone, but it was turn 4 so, plenty of time left for the nimble skaven.

The star made his first move, tagged by the mummy, he was to uncomfortable so the bomb landed in an area without anyone. Borke raised his eyebrow,

<Borke> Did I pay for that, really?

 

After some attempt Bob the troll fell to the ground, and Lanier could smack down Mickey, stunning him. Moving up to eventually hit Hans, but a push was the result but Frank did follow up tagging the Doctor Downtown who still had the ball which he got at turn 1. 

 

Hans only pushed back Frank, and when Bob was confused Doctor just moved one square back, securing the positions. While sakven and goblins moved up on the left flank to create a scoring threat. 

The starplayer only managed to knock himself down with a bomb. 

 

Then Billy leaped into action, the ghoul with Frenzy and pushed Hans out to the crowd and in the same move tagged Doctor Downtown. 

Putting some pressure on the thrower.

 

Bomber dodged the mummies slow feet but Billy was more on his toes, so when Doctor tried to doge he fell as Billies foot tripped him. 

 

Billy took the ball the turn after and Rythmeen was shown the red card after a foul, it turned out he also removed the skaven but also himself. 

Billy was now 5 squares from the TD zone. 

 

It was a matter to get some ko or injuries in the dying moments and one Zombie was ko’ed else, not so much happened.

1-0 in first half to the undead.

 

Second half started and the lino was downed without anything broken. Some defense setup spreading out the ghouls as the fireball was still a threat here. 

The mummy Dusty Hill recovered so he is back also the Gutter Runner was back as well as killer Hans. The Star bomber found a red card and had to leave despite Broke’s attempt to claim he is paid for the entire game dude!

 

Setting up some screening, warps opened the right flank and sent through a goblin. 

He was downed but not removed, and Bob went down after some attempts.

And then Woohsh, the fire came and dropped 5 undead, but all stayed. 

And with Hans blitzing down and remove the skeleton Chrome, Smoke & BBC, he tagged and moved in a goblin to tagg the ballkeeper Lanier. And almost everyone else. 

 

Pushing Hans away from Lanier, was key objective that worked, and then moving up to cover and protect in case Lanier made or failed the upcoming dodge. But he made it and wanted to be away from the sideline. Gary was too horrific to block from the poor zombie Afterburners point of view so, he decided not to. 

 

Gary feeling boosted with this, tried to knock down Lanier, but found himself downed and removed. Meanwhile Hans blitzed and pushed the ghoul Dan away to tag the Afterburner zombie.

 

Billy could open a path for Lanier, who took the sign and run down the field as long as he safely could. 

We failed to down the Gutter runner, feeling the threat of his pace. Afterburner felt insulted not daring to his Gary earlier on and took it all out on Hans hurting him badly in the process. 

 

Last effort to save the game, Mickey flew forward assisted by Mary the goblin, who only could push Lanier, and the home training (rr) turned them to skulls, and bang stunned with that as a thanks. 

 

Lanier gave the ball to Elwood and the rest is more or less history as skaven and the team ran away and there was no more effort after that double skull. 

 

2-0 to the undead. 

 

Sand took one of the few popcors that were left in the bowl.

<Sand> I told you it was to be entertainment. 

<Grus> Indeed it is a show anytime those Goblins enter the field. 

 

Thanks for the game @Borke

[Borke]

Thanks as well, it was an entertaining match, despite the bad loss.

 

[Bantha]

The internal war

S2, Game 4

 

Sand rolled over, fell to the floor and woke up in the fall.

Trained as he were he did not flinch at all, landed on the feets and rolled with the momentum. 

Two rolls away from the stone board he stopped. 

Looking around suspiciously looking forth and back. Nothing moved, he heard his brother mumbling something in his sleep. 

So he relaxed, stretched his back, felt the normal crack in his spine, ahh. Cleared his left ear with his finger, jawned. Looked up at the enormous skeleton still sitting in the humongous chair. 

 

Who was that, it really looked like a mage of some sort. An old dusty robe was covering his torso and almost the entire length of his legs. The pattern on the robe was covered with dust but he could still see some stars and the patterns that were sewed on it. Was that the one who created all this, or just another one like themself passing by, getting stuck by all the stories lurking in here. 

It would take years and years to listen or experience all volumes kept in here. He noticed both he and his brother had actually spent less time eating than normal. Which was odd as they are normally controlled by the feeling of lacking food or how long it took since the last time they ate anything. Watching and listening to the voice and sound of that little thing was intriguing for sure. Was the giant starved to death without knowing it. 

He jumped up on the stone table and started to rock Grus shaking him, stirring him from his sleep.

Grus was not alarmed at all, waking up with a big jawn. Rubbing his eyes awake, picking out some dirt from the corners of the eyelid.
With a huge tired jawn he mumbled to his brother.

<Grus>Whaaaat eumh.

Eye´s blinking three times, continuing the jawn.

Staring at his brother with big sleepish eyelids fighting to keep them up. 

<Grus>Yes, is………………..it.

His head nodded like it was currently too heavy to keep it upright. 

<Sand> Are you awake?

Sand poked his brother on his shoulder twice to see his reaction.

<Grus> Stop that, what is it!?

He said with a clear angry look. annoyed from the poking. 

Sand smiled

<Sand> Good, now you are awake. I just wanted to ask you, are you hungry?

Grus looked a bit disturbed and made a body expression like, do you wake me for that question?

<Grus> Am I hungry? No not really, have you brought something?

He looked around after some hidden food somewhere, for some reason that topic brought the attention to some hunger emotions that just got some attention. 

<Grus> Well actually now when you mention it, yes some breakfast would be nice.’

He ended with a whishful smile.

Sand nodded in agreement. 

<Sand> Good, I had the same feeling and the same situation, it did not really bother me until I understood this is actually evening now and we had not had anything for almost 12 hours. Imagine that brother.

He slapped his hands as a call for actions. 

<Sand> Let's get out and get some food. 

The time went and the silence was again heavy in the big room. Mack looked around after the new companions who he could tell the stories to. But no one was there, so he went back to his position waiting for the next one who would wake him up and ask him to read. 

 

It turned out that the next time it was chapter 5 in season 2 of the OrcaCola Championship.
It was Bantha vs Regor, Undead vs Orc´s. Power vs more power!

 

The undead won the coin-toss and the weather was fantastic, the crowd amazing!

The two commentators of the match were the Elf dancing El-lahorra fantastico and the Brutal honest Blackorc Bruno Brainbaashaa or tripple B as some call him.

 

-Hello darlings the undead tell the Orcs to try to set up, HAHAHA, the elf hints with an evil smile at 3B. Who actually did not get the poke at all. Tribble B, looks at the paper in front of him, and with an angry look, his grin reveals a mouth full of missing teeths but two great tusks at each side of the sick smile. 

-What the Hell is this, silly PAPER!

-Ohh that is the two teams described with some odd curved drawings, again hinting on the alphabetic wordings on the page which was apparently too hard for the orc to decipher. 

 

-Nonesenssss the orc yells at no one. 

-Look the undead now line up and the pretty one in green looks quite solid. 

-Pretty, what the hell are you talking about, they are Perfect Green, you silly ball tossing wimp. 

Lahorra smiles at him, giggling a bit.

Suddenly the orc rises and screams

-Go ORCS GOOO BASH’EM ALL!

Forming his gigantic hands like a trumpet over his mouth.

-WAAAGH!!!

Lahorra puts his hands over his ears. Blinking his eyes several times to shake off the unexpected loud sound. 

-What the hell, do not do that again.

But it was the blitz the orc made which got him aroused to the heavens, it was the most, well almost, beautiful thing for the old black orc to see.
Shaking the sound out from his head, the elf mentioned how solid the ghoul picked up ball from the ground, wanting to see the pass that never came. 

-Typical, where are the passing skills!

-Wrong game silly, the black orc muttered. 

The bashing skills were not so great and the orcs took the hits and in return they dropped the undead here and there. Only the mummies could hold the ground but was dwarfed with strength as black orcs and blitzers moved in to support each other. 

Again the return blows were pathetic and triple B was mocking the weak efforts of the undead.

But suddenly, the Elf jumped up in the air, Go GO!!!!

There was in the middle of the failing blocking movements another one, a hand off and a sprint or two. Taking the ghoul deep in the Orc defense zone. 

-Look at that, Go ladies! The elf was so happy to see some ball movements. 

-Bah, they will get him, do you not see that. Haha what a fool.

But the blitzer failed to get him off his feets and he stood there dancing closer to the touchdown zone. 

The mummies fell but it did not matter, the ghoul dodged away from the orc legs trying to trip him. Rushed in for a 1-0 to the undead, the elf again flew up dancing with light steps around on the table.

The orc now red in his face with fury.

-Sit Down butterfly, SIT DOWN! What is this type of game!

The Elf smiled and sat down.  

 

-Go Undead, Lahorra mimicked the crowd. 

-Haha it is too early, the green grin showed a mean intention. 

 

Then the undead replied with the blitz back. 

The orcs were quite stunned and in return they could not manage to down more than one little zombie. 

They got the ball alright though. 

As a result, one Blitzer was surfed, but the cost were that the agile team was now on one side, showing weakness on the other side.

The other side was caged but it was a flawed cage, one side opened and there was the lonely zombie. It was an opportunity that could not be missed. But the blitz was skull rr skull on the blockless thrower. Triple B just laughed at the silly attempt. 

-Haha, he fooled him bad, haha silly zombie.

-It was quite risky. I have seen elfs score from worse situations. 

-But there are no elfs around stupid.

The undead recovered and moved into the middle.

The Orcs replied by dropping the mummy obstacle, moved up and protected the ball keeping thrower. The big troll stood there pointing towards the mummy, now on the ground, clapping his hand forgetting to move and protect the ball. Seeing that the blackorc sprinted towards a zombie in the middle and the line orc dodges away from the other mummy, tagging the wight blitzer. 

Hindering the undead to close in for free. 

The side stepping ghoul blitzed down the orc blitzer and moved up tagging the thrower with the ball.

But he was downed after the blitzer managed a dodge to get the side stepper downed, and then it was 1-1.

Bruno cheered, Lahorra just smiled a bit, it was a score after all. 

In the end of first half there were an attempt for a pass, but the catch failed and Lahorra smacked his forehead with an open hand. -MY god.

 

Second half started and the orcs struck down the few on the line. 

The undead returned with blitzing the blitzer and followed up with a foul as the Regor used the apo first half on a ko, which was avoided. 

But the ref showed the Red card at the attempt, but here Bantha flew in and argued, somehow after that the Ref nodded and pulled away the red card. 

There was a big scrum happening, then the Troll fell on his own attempt to pummel a zombie.  

To use that advantage some support was thrown in and there was a glimpse of success by the undead. 

But the Orcs had more strength and injured one ghoul in the scrum bashing, Bruno howled to the sun as a maniac. 

The elf went bananas

-For feck sake can we not see some ball skills here!

-Blood BOWL, there you have the blood!

Orcs shifted wing to cover the ball a bit away from the scrum, but the undead was on his heels.

The blitz came on the unprotected thrower but even with a team reroll he was unable to get him down.

He was then freed and in that one zombie removed as ko. 

-DANG! Bruno yelled when it was carried off. 

-Stop it idiot!

Then the brawl began and papers flew as the two commentators tried to grab the other. 

The audience could only watch the game without comments as the two mixed punches. Well it was the elf who hit the orc, as the elf dodge all slow huge swings of the green trunks as arms. But it was like petting a tree, Bruno did not even notice the small clapping on his chin or elbows. 

 

The game itself was more and more tilted to the green favor as ghouls left and zombies were stunned and finally without a bigger effort after finally the thrower Grulkas was dropped, the bounce was catched by the blitzer Ugorh “the Aristocrat” who later could safely walk in the 2-1 winning result. 

 

<Grus> Haha nice game, the two commentators was really silly

He laughed with his belly now full of food. 

 

Thanks for the game @Regor

The winter is coming

S2, Game 5

 

With tired eyelids, Grus rubbed his dry hands over his eye’s. Trying to clear out any particles that annoyed his dry eyes. He blinked several times, coughed a bit and drew in some air through his wet nose. He took his arm sleeve and dragged it over his nose, I hate this cold he muttered hardly noticeable if you were only a few steps away from him.

Where was his brother now, it hurts, the head hurts. He rested his head on some cloth which was piled up as a pillow of some sort. Reached for the hot tea cup, just out of reach. Darn, he had to move to reach it. He thought and then he remembered the last time he checked it was already cold, that one too just as his nose. His head rested now, it feels good. I just relax a bit more and with that he curled up like a Christmas bun. 

 

In this shape, Sand, his brother found him. He hurried up the long stair to the mid or at least upper area of this odd tower. He found a kitchen below and found it actually works and he could turn on the stove. He had already forgotten how long they have been here now. Never before did they even try to do anything else but to use that odd table. Telling stories it did they both love them.
But now it has been growing cold in the old tower, is it already turning to winter? he wondered. I think it must have been at least summer when they found the tower, he could not really remember. Ouch his body withdrew from the hot cup as he climbed the ladder, he burned the thin sensitive part above the wrist. He hurried up the ladder, rushed by the big skeleton in the high seat and there he was. wrapped up like a little infant his brother.
Sand rushed around in the backpack, searching where was it. He knew it was in there, he did put it here he was sure. Common, he said out loud. 

Ahh there was the warm hood he searched for. Taring it over Grus head gently, covering his ears. There you go brother, he gave him the warmest smile he had ever given his brother. 

 

But it was cold in here for sure, brushing his arms bringing some heat up due to the resistance in the fabric of the actual thin shirt he wore. He started to wake up Grus, slowly and gently rubbing his arms with the new found towel. Sand needed to get this hot water with the Valerian herbs to Grus, while the water was hot. He heard in his younger adventures this was better served warm. Grus opened his mouth, whispering soft words.

<Grus> Is it you, my brother, are you, are you there?

He did not even open his eyes, and Sand saw they were clogged with some thick glue like pasture, it looked like. He held the cup close to his mouth, “open up brother” he whispered as not to frighten him. “This is good for ya”.

He knew it was hot, but it was important not to linger around. He tried to help Grus to get a taste of it. Grus shrugged backwards a bit reacting to the sudden heat. But Sand did expect this and kept the balance, not letting any liquid come to waste.
Some struggle but there, finally when he tasted the content of the cup, it helped. Grus did not resist it any more. With a big clunk it was all gone. 

Sand was happy, with this he was sure whatever Grus had caught, he was to get helped now. 

The power of Valerian was stunning, he had seen it work earlier on the battlefield and in the small town they visited earlier. Curing illness “faster than a wizard can” his aunt always said. 

Sand brought the big jar of water out of the backpack. Sand moistured the handkerchief and cleaned the eyes of his brother, the odd almost creamy substance had to go. 

 

<Grus> Thanks Sand

Honest eyes looked back at him. Sand took a deep breath, letting the air out.

<Grus> Shall we watch something?

They both curled up giving each other the heat the bodies created. 

<Sand> Yes that sounds good, shall we continue with Bantha’s journey in season 2 I think we left off as game 4, then I will check how to get some heat up here. 

Grus nodded and turned towards the board, and there the game 5 materialized suddenly. 

 

“YoyoYo boys and girls Get READYYYYYYY” the speakers yelled at them from the arena spoken by the famous ghoul Slippery Showgun. With extreme lungs and throat almost a mega amplifier on its own. 

The Uuuuuundeaaaaaad vs the Nuuuuurgleeeeeee. Or Bantha vs Leffe!!! Drums please!!

On to the pitch from the left corner came the passionated Rotters!!!

We have Mr McMahon, the lvl 1 rotter almost free from filth. 

And there is Buddy Rogers, lvl 2 rotter trained in the ways of blocking!!

Next Ivaaaaaon Koloff, Lvl3 both wrestle and tackle awesome skill!

And then the mighty rotspawn Great Khaaaaliiiii!!!

With guard and stand firm he also has all the foulness you can think of, stay away or decay!!

Then comes the Blooooters!

“Big Daddy Cool” Diesel lvl 2 sitting on the blocking skill, stay away I can feel the smell from here!

Then we have Goldberg, the brother of Diesel also lvl 2 block it is.

Psycho Sid the big one, lvl 3, block and guard, what a foul combination!!

Then the Kane lvl 3 with the same block and guard, soo nice to have.

We then have the famous Pestigors, coming on flexing their muscles to the roaring sound of the fans!

First out is the Miz lvl 1 

Then sheamus lvl 2 going with block

Alberto Del Rio, lvl 3 running around with the kills look, block and might blow!

Last and not least, the Jinder Mahal, lvl 4 block, sure hand and awesome speed is added to the mix of some smelly things I will NOT describe!

 

They all received the big welcoming from the crowd gathering in the mid section of the arena. 

 

In the blue corner, comes the zombies!

Hardly running but going!

Antenna, sitting on lvl 4 with Block, strip ball and kick! Unusual picks!

Recycler 3 comes on limping at lvl 1

Afterburner 2 struggles to keep up the quick pace at lvl 1

Eliminator, lvl 1 clapping to the crowd.

Then the wights enters!

With helmets on Angus “Thunder” Young, lvl 3 with block and mighty blow, and the crowd goes, THUNDER!

Frank Beard 1 tags along lvl 2 with guard, he waves as he moves in beside Angus. 

The skeletons come in with the jaws going up and down, not sure if they are saluting or laughing. 

Rythmeen “Bang Bang” clapps his hands to the Thunder song lvl 2 with Dirty player. 

Chrome Smoke and BBQ, comes next lvl 1

And then the Mummies, huge steps carry them slowly to the mid sections.

Dusty Hill lvl 2 with Guard.

And then the mighty Billy Gibbons at lvl 3 with block and guard, have we heard the combinations before?

Then running around the mummies jumping here and there are the ghouls!

Elwood “Last Dance” Francis the 2nd, lvl 3 with block and side step. 

We have Billy Ethridge lvl 4 with Block, side step and Frenzy! He is the angry one!

Lastly the crippled Dan Mitchell who refuse to give up lvl 4 with block jumpup and leap, but he also has that limp. 

 

They gathered in the middle when the Ref came up tossing the coin and the Nurgle won that one.

Undead setting up the defense. 

 

Starting with one Dan on the bench and BBQ, ghoul and skeleton. 

Nurgle started with Mr.McMahon on the bench. 

There was quite many pushes and kicks at the starting time, so the game was delayed. 

First round and only one zombie managed to stay his ground one was stunned. Dusty Hill was dropped with the might blow from Alberto, but it did not harm the mummy.

The ball however was slippery and could not be picked up, it fell down again out from the hands of Jinder. 

Undead cover up the ground to the left of the Nurgle where some advancement was made earlier. Hitting Miz with MB did not do much from Angus. Elwood was sprinting down to the Nurgle defense zone, creating a weak threat, but might be big if that ball stays again.

Some scrum in the mid, some pushes and some goes down but all stays. 

Alberto knocks down Elwood clearing that threat, Jinder gets the ball and runs to a safe formation in the center. 

Agnus fails to blitz down Miz but follows up trapping him. Dusty Hill sprints and falls but the team training saves the day and he guards his friends. Buddy goes down and “Bang Bang” stuns him. Elwood tries to run away but is tripped by Alberto who grins at him stunning him with that foot. 

Nurgle then has a power turn, the scrum in the middle with Bloaters and Spawn is to much and the undead get downed here and there. Both Mummies go down and Afterburner 2 is knocked out. Jinder switches sides with the ball and has a half cage covering him.  

Miz goes down again, both Frank and Billy runs to mid section covering up any further movement. “Bang Bang” rolls both down and even team training doesn't help, turn over. 

Nurgle then hunts the undead, closing in, knocking down Angus, stunning him.

But when Ivan the rotter runs to tag Billy, it is to far and the sprint fails he is exhausted even team training fails and turn over. 

Frank runs in tagging Jinder, and short after Billy comes in blitzing down Jinder, the ball goes back and one second later Elwood stands there tagging the ball which is not tagged with Elwood and Sheamus. 

In the center Dusty brings down Sid the bloater. 

It is already turn 6 as we all lost a round in the start. 

The scrum in the center continues undead are dropped, Frank is dropped. But the ghouls stayed up, pushed and side stepping around. Even Jinder fails to get the ghouls down, so no one has the ball. 

Billy manages to drop Jinder, and Elwood tries to get the ball who fails as Sheamus stands there, also hindering him to get the control he needed. 

But the bounce is in undead favor. Now tagged by both ghouls. 

The scrum continues and now Sid hurts Recycler who fails to regenerate. 

The ghouls however still stands and are pushed around the ball. 

Some evil plan for a 1d that skulls himself down ends turn 7. And it is not impossible to score. 

Some more are downed but the ghoul stands, Elwood get kicked while he is on the ground but the kick fails to penetrate the little protection he has. 

Some blocks later, the first half ends. 0-0

 

Ivan who fell due to sprinting had not recovered in time and missed the second half when it started. 

And Afterburner also could not recover in time. 

11 vs 11

 

Two on the los, was stunned and Goldberg bloater was hurt during a blitz from Angus, and even the foul things in the air could not heal the wound. 

The ball was picked up by Elwood, who took it to the side where Goldberg was removed. 

Leffe brings the team to cover up the side now heavy with presence. 

As response Bantha bring the ball to the other side, intention to drop “Big Daddy cool” but Daddy smelled even to bad for Antenna, who could not make it. Instead the blitz then came from far back, with Dan sprinting to get there and managed to drop Daddy. 

the foul then came in but could not penetrate the armour on Daddy.

Alberto drops Angus with a power blow, hurting him badly and even this one the magic cannot save, Angus is gone for the rest of the game. 

Moving in both bloaters and spawn to cover up the left side. 

Undead managed to block away some Nurgle, and Billy managed to get away from the spawns' tentacles. 

Eliminator was knocked out by Kane. Jinder moved in to tagg Elwood with the ball. Bloaters coming in, cutting off escape routes. 

Jinder goes down after a frenzy and pushes. Alberto gets stunned. “Bang Bang” skeleton dodges away from the Spawn and gets away from the tentacles as well. 

But ball stays right by the mid section two squares from the side. 

 

Jinder blitzes Elwood down, gets the ball after a dodge and runs down now only 8 squares from the TD zone. 

The Miz runs down sprints falls but the training saves him. 

But Antenna can reach Jinder, and Elwood get Jinder down stunning him in the process. Runs back so Sid can be downed stunning him also. Billy is then free who grabs the ball and runs back to center. 

Nurgle cannot get Don down and can only move up positioning for defense. 

Billy with the ball sprints down to the other side totally empty of creatures. 

Some bash here and there. 

Alberto blitzes but fails the dodge, TO. 

Turn 15 Billy goes to a safe position and the last two turns are quite boring when it comes to interesting things to notice.

 

Thanks for the tight game @Leffe75

The first snow

S2 Game 6

 

Sand paused the voice from Maz, the little creature bound to the magical room to read all books by the demand from the listener for eternity. 

Grus was already asleep halfway through the game. The sound from Mac that was produced had somehow really calming effects on the listeners. A tranquilizing effect, he remembered that both he and his brother were really mad at each other, he could not remember why, but midway into the game, everything was fine. 

Sand could now also feel the cold all around them. It was like creeping in on them from everywhere. Now even the stone table was growing cold. This will not work, we need to heat this place up a bit. 

 

Sand left Grus on that spot in that heap of clothes, pillows and towels. Only his nose was seen from afar peeking out from the pile. Entering the kitchen below, his belly rumbled reminded him that, yes it was a while ago they got any food. There was nothing left in here now. All cleansed from anything to eat. Sand checked his pocket for coins, but there were just some few coins left. 

 

Without any hope, he still went to the small town. He had to take some actions now, he new that. Entering the little shop called “Ellies Little Bag”. It was the shop he had visited before, buying some food and other supplies. Small but rich in almost anything and everything. It was filled with jars that stood on other jars, bags on other bags. Not much room for anything, but I guess everything was already here, he told himself with a smile. 

 

<Ellie> Can I help you?

The familiar voice of the very helpful lady Ellie who owned the little rich shop of goods. 

Sand blushed, he did not know why, he felt ashamed for asking for some favors from Ellie.
<Sand> Yes dear lady, I do not have much left, but I’m willing to work if you need help with anything, well not anything but as long as I can support I’ll do it. My brother is a bit ill, but I need some food and some herbs and maybe some thicker gloves for both of us. It is getting cold.
He said that looking up at the lady with some eyes almost bursting into tears. He could not help himself thinking and speaking about his brother in need. His feelings took him by surprise.

<Ellie> Do not worry little one.

She tilted her head smiling down at him offering him a handkerchief.

<Ellie> Dry those up dear one, I’ll give you a bargain you cannot refuse. Please tell me your name, will you, and then you can take what you want for free.

Sand looked puzzled, still sad about his brother's condition and now shocked by the helpfulness from this kind gesture.

<Sand> Is, is… I mean, you truly mean that Ms, I… I 

He tried to formulate the words but they didn't come out. He just couldn't understand how she could be so kind. 

<Ellie> Your name sweet one.

 She blinked three times with a warm smile. 

<Sand> I’m Sand Ms, Sand at your service

He nodded his head like an expression of how much he liked to help with what he could.

<Ellie> Well well, Hi Sand at your service 

She giggled like a girl, which Sand did not expect at all from a not that young lady.

Some alarm bells woke Sand from his happy feeling and suddenly he felt threatened that something was wrong.  

With that Ellie stood straight up, she was much taller than Sand had ever seen her before. 

 

It was not the first time he was there, but they never said much and he always paid with coins. Until now. 

<Ellie> What is wrong Sand!

Ellie's voice was also changed. Not soft at all. 

Sand looked around backed up to the door. 

<Ellie> There is no need for this, you just provided your name, and now you can take what you want. I mean no harm to my customers. 

Her voice was backagain, to the soft harmonious melody

Sand, still not comfortable with the situation. Looked around for some clues. 

<Sand> Why can I have anything by telling you my name? Where does all this come from when the town is as little as it is?

Sand did the calculation like the Sand normally did before he went into that tower. 

Is the town also part of the odd power or spell the tower was under?

Ellie raised her eyebrow in a surprising look. 

<Ellie> There is nothing odd about my goods. We actually have quite a few travelers passing by here. And your name was requested by an old friend of mine. 

Sand is still not happy about the answer.

<Sand> Who and why wished for my name to provide anything from here, it sounds too expensive to be true. 

<Ellie> I will not tell you who, but I can assure you there is no need to be alarmed. This person has this habit to learn and know the names of the frequent visitors to the Tower. As you have been in and out for a while, you were an interesting fellow to learn more about. 

<Sand> And just how does this man know I visit the tower?

<Ellie> Ohh this is known to a lot of people in the town here. Common knowledge you can say. 

<Sand> Is it his, the tower?

<Ellie> No, I do not think anyone Owns the tower anymore. It has been like it is now, as long as anyone can remember. as it does not provide power, no threat, no harm. Creatures who like to harm it grow bored by it, because the lower area is already a mess.  Creatures who want profit out of it learn it has no profit. Usually they just leave it as it is. 

Ellie sat down, reaching out with her hands.

<Ellie> All this is mine, I have worked hard to establish this shop here. I have received help from many. I do not see any problem for me to help you and your brother. The person who wanted your name has helped me the most, it is as simple as that. 

Sand calmed down, relaxing his shoulders and took a deep breath. 

<Sand> I see, sorry but it all sounded really strange and that tower is very strange indeed.

<Ellie>  Did you bring your backpack?

Sand nodded and lifted it up and put it on the shelf.

 

When Sand started to move back to the tower, snow started to fall. Big heavy flakes fell from the sky, it looked so fine. When he got into the kitchen he brought some wood with him. He had to take the climb in several turns in order to bring it all up. That ladder seems to grow everytime he climbs it. Grus was awake, and when sand told him what he brought he took thicker clothes on directly. But he has better colour now on his face at least. 

They attempted to bring some stone formed a little circle to have as a base for the fire. 

Sand told Grus about the snow. Grus ran to the widows and looked out. It was all covered in thick snowy landscape now. But Grus could feel the cold creeping in through the thin window, he felt the chill and went back to help with the fire. 

 

They spent quite a while trying to get the wood to ignite but no flames stuck out from the sparkles they made. Grus tried some attempts, who was the master of this. He could start a campfire in the rain. But here nothing worked. But the positive side was they got the heat up while working on the fire. Grus was almost sweating now. 

 

<Sand> Shall we follow this up with some games?

<Grus> What a fantastic idea. 

Sand pulled out the last surprise for Grus four bottles of beer. 

Grus’s jaw just dropped and nodded vigorously. 

 

“To Day we have the honor of Dakaman and the “Da Orcs” simple to the point, splendid!

They aaare faciiing the Undead lead by Bantha with the “OZZ TOP””

All fans around the arena bursted out, the battle between the fans started with trumpets screams, drums. The teams came out, when the ref tossed the coin in the air.

The ref turned to Dakaman to select as he just won the toss. 

As usual, the bashers want to receive so they can color the brown green grass on the field with some red colors. Even now when it was more bone colors to be spilled. 

Standard setup with one exception for the undead, as the “killer” was away in this game they also had brought in one Keg so the possible ones who are knocked out, could gather themselves a bit faster. 

The Orcs stood up as normal to them, all in front one in the back.. the thrower “Shin-breaker” lvl 2.

And with that the whistle started the game. 

Smooth as an Orc, all zombies were down but all stayed. The blitz from Roolag “Collateral Damage” (BlackOrc) failed and the push on Antenna (Zombie) made Billy (Ghoul) sidestep into contact with Roolag. 

Vurak (Black Orc) Tagged Billy (Mummy) , hindering him from doing anything else but hitting him. Ball picked up and rushed center wise some blitzers moved back to cover any fishythings from the ghouls.

Vurak went down, Roolag went down only first after the frenzy extra punch and Dusty Hill (Mummy) made the blitz downing a Black Ors in midfield. Then “Bang Bang” (skeleton) with Dirty player sent his boot deep into Roolag who now was swarmed with undead, he was ko but the ref saw this, sending out “BangBang” with the Red card. 10 vs 10.

 

Two zombies downed and blitz pushed the third zombie, ball keeper Sokur rushed up 4 squares from mid center line, two defenders on each side. 

In return, Billy strikes down and strikes out Vurak (Black Orc), Dusty (Mummy) strikes out Grulkas lvl2 (Black Orc) and amazingly Billy (ghoul) strikes out Kreen (Lineman) the rest sneaks up in the mid center scrum. It was now 7 vs 10. 

 

Da Orcs, scrum masters as they are, took down the scrum line of zombies and wights. Moved the ball to the right side away from the undead on the left side. 

One black orc was downed and Billy (Mummy) could only push with the blitz, tagging Sokur with the ball. The ghouls were thrown in tagging him with all. 

The blitz came from Zokram removing one ghoul, but double skulls forced a rr and it saved the day, pushing him away. The dodge from Sokur failed as the big mummy leg dropped him, but the last rr saved that one and Sokur continued. Then 1d attempt to free up orc brothers turned to a skull, and that removed the orc (Blitzer) form the field ko.

Billy could reach Sokur knocking him over with a blitz and Elwood grabbed the ball, running down in the Orc area. All other orcs were downed even if it took a rr, the following turn was a blitz but it failed the dodge of course, and next rounds was quite unlucky.

Not much more happened Orcs stayed and Elwood scored turn 8. 

1-0

Morkran and Krenn the two lineman, did not recover in time, and still Argok (Lineman) was on the bench, fielded 11 orcs anyway. 

 

Undead started to catch the ball, Billy took it with a firm grip. 

Three orcs on the line of scrimmage downed but no problem there. The blitz turned to a push. 

Undead looked small covering sides with zombies. Billy in the mid center.

 

Roolag came in downing Antenna and followed up, tagging the defenders of Billy, and Drekk joined him the two Black Orcs looked like they were in command. 

Small movements in the back covering any attempts to advance. 

11 vs 11

Billy (Mummy) injured Zokram but everything else was pushed, Billy (ghoul) moved back with the ball not advancing at all. 

Orcs moved on, struck down zombie here, zombie there. Marching up. 

Undead was unsettled and blitzed away 1d, skull rr push. Sprinted away after that covered by the next ghoul. 

Orcs was in power, pushed away and could then 1d blitz Billy with the ball, but he got away with bothdown. 

Zombie goes down, lineman (Orc) dodged away from Mummy Billy, and blocked the route for the ball carrier. 

Mummy could then free up Frank (wight) who could free Billy (Ghoul) so they could run down to a safer zone in orc territory. Dan Michell (Ghoul) followed up to cover his back. But it was bad positioning, “Boom Boom” blitzer came in with guard and Grusk followed up with frenzy and tackle, böitzed and knocked down Billy with the ball. Stunning Billy but failing the second dodge ending the turn. 

Both mummies knocked down Blitzer and black orc, down the lane Antenna did a 1d Block to free up Frank the wight, who could blitz free Lanier and Elwood, both ghouls. 

 

Elwood could rush in and get the ball while Lanier and Dan kept the side and back free from direct “access”

Some down field blocking and two blitzers who advanced to the mid and Boom boom dodge away from mummy to make some sort of availability if shit happens. 

Lanier tagged “BoomBoom” and seconds after Billy the ghoul charged in with a blitz but both stayed there the orc refused to be moved. After that  Dusty hill (mummy) blocked the Lineman without skills and both went down, but the orc was slain in the process the apo did not even flinch. So shit did happen and both Dvorak and Grushk ran back to take that inch of opportunity that was raised. Even Sukor the thrower ran back to support. 

Boom Boom started the blitz dodges away from the puny ghouls and charged the ball keeper, 1d but an arrow was found and a simple push was the result. 

Some orcs were dropped, Boom Boom was found surfed but his fans on that side did not act at all. 2-0 as the result but Boom boom was unharmed. 

 

2 turns more of the game and not much was made of interest. 

Thanks for the game @DakaMan

The witch

S2 Game 7

 

Grus felt a bit better his nose stopped dripping and dripping. His head also was clearer. 

He felt a bit restless, after watching some game you really wanted or felt the need to move around. Grus was curious on how the upper floors looked, he remembered he saw one broken glass in the window. Why not check it out. So he crawled out of the pile of colting and pillows. He scratched his back and looked at Grus still in the pile. 

Grus continued to scratch what did that came from, so itchy. He found a woolen stitched muffler sticking out one of its ends from the heap. 

He saw that tal ladder, reaching up to the next floor. That old skeleton still watched them all the time. But it has not moved yet so, I guess it was dead for real. Watching all whose games with undead makes you think twice. 

 

Some time passed and Sand woke, with a big yawn. Letting the sleepy eyes adjust to the dim enlightened room. It was only lit up by those odd crystals hanging in the big lamp center in the room above the table. 

He yawned again, unashamed. When he heard a faint sound like a door cringing from opening. 

Sand focuses his eye in the direction from the sound. 

 

There as it looked stood an old lady upon a ladder and it looked like she did some things with some books. No alarm clocks went off, so he just watched. The strange person, it looked like a lady. Checked some books and returned them to the shelf. Picked up a new one from a bag or something which was on the other side of the person, so Sand could not see it. 

She, if it was a lady, she quickly flipped through the book. Moustiered the finger with the tongue and continued to flip the pages. Closed the book, read the side and returned it to the shelf. 

Then her head turned and looked straight at Sand, who froze instantly. 

 

<Person> Ah you are awake little one, are you not eeh, yes?

The voice was clear and still some init that was not original, like it was not her mother tongue. 

When Sand did not answer, she started to go down the ladder which leaned on the shelf. 

<Person> Shey are we that to day, yes?

With one hand she put one strap on the left shoulder, it was connected to a bag of some sort. 

It looked empty as it swung free on her side while moving down. 

<Person> You were tired, yes?

She had a leather poncho covering her inner clothes, the color from here looked brown with stains from many years and long travels. It looked worn on the edges. Long black hair untied went over her back down to the elbows of her arms. Her arms were thin, long bony fingers, each had a long nail. Down at the ladder she turned toward him.

<Lady> Do I have to do something to start your talking ability to work, yes?

Then she pointed at the crystal lamp in the enter and twisted her hand, like she was turning a knob. Sand dropped his jaw when the light shone stronger and stronger. With big eyes returned to the lady. He popped up a hand and waved.

<Sand> Hello?’

He asked just if that was good enough to please her.

She both smiled and nodded, both hands met resting on a leather belt. Her poncho still did not reveal that much. 

<Lady> Wonderful Sand, thanks.

Sand did not first relate that it was strange that she used his name, and then he stood up in a jumping pose ready for action. 

The lady laughed and nodded.

<Lady> Quite bright but quite slow, yes. 

Her nose was pierced, he saw now as she moved closer to the table. 

Her left nostril was pierced with a clean golden ring. Her nose was remarkably small and quite even at her age. The wrinkles and her age was somehow shown in the skin both on face and arms. Her hand he saw now was totally covered in tattoos of runes and other strange markings. Her nails were all in different colors.

Who is this woman! Sand thought.

<Lady> So, do you enjoy this amazing creation, yes?

Without answering, Sand just popped the question on his mind.

<Sand> Who are you, how do you know my name, how did you get in here?

The strange person batted her eyelashes at Sand, waved with her hand to her face as cooling it down. 

<Lady> Ohh my he does talk, and here all in one sentence!

She squeezed her eyelids, trying to see something out of the ordinary.  

<Lady> Ahh there you are, all well, yes?

Nothing happened. 

<Lady> Very well then, so where were we. 

She stood them, right beside the stone table, looked at everything there, like checking if anything was out of order. Then she continued.

<Lady> Who I am, is not important, it is what I do that is important. But then Only.

She emphasized the word Only

<Lady> Only if you like this creation. 

Her hand went out, like she was to fly, but then she just spun one complete turn. Using the creation and meaning everything in this room and maybe tower. 

<Lady> This will probably be dust and in ruins if I do not come by every now and then. Keeping it alive you can say. 

She waited a bit, like if she expected a comment, when none came she continued. 

 

<Lady> And I know your name because I asked for it, and I always get what I want. 

She smiled at Sand like, I am serious. 

<Lady> How I got in here, well you got in here so why should I not be able too? Yes?

Grus looked at the open shelf and pointed towards it.

<Grus> What did you do over there?

She followed the outstretched arm. 

<Lady> Ahh I added some books of course. Or volumes as some like to define them, yes. Have you not noticed the Age of the tower vs the age of the stories, they don't really match do they?
She tapped the last volume with one of her long nails. 

<Lady>This is young compared to the tower. 

Without changing her head or any movements she suddenly declared. 

<Lady> Is that your brother closing in on us, yes?

Sand turned his head, and there came Grus trying to move without sound. 

Sand nodded.

<Sand> It is all safe and you need not to hide. 

<Lady> That must be your brother?

<Sand> How do you know I have a brother? 

The old lady just smiled.

<Lady> Shall we see a special episode I know a feature we can try.

Without waiting she touched the stone just below play, paus forward and backward buttons. 

 

Instead of the normal presentation, the two teams entering the field. It was seen from the eyes and vision from a single player. The Ghoul Billy Erthridge entered with three ghoul friends in the OZZ TOP team. He glared at the super clean elfs, they were so clean. Why on earth put the effort to clean clothes just about to get dirty. He just did not understand. 

He still did not know how old the blood stain on his elbow armor was, or who it came from. 

Billy looked at it and smiled. The elfs have 5 super rookies, or wannabes as Dan liked to call them, those who do not benefit from the team training. He knew Bantha trained us a lot to get us out of trouble, when you least expect it. 

The elf’s had a wizard and two super stars, Elf bullshit, come as you are clean ears!

He made a bit gesture to one of the elf’s. 

They look so tasty. 

 

Undead won the toss, the elf’s lined up. He was always nervous until the ball sailed up in the air, then everything got focused to another level. He watched the ball, tried to anticipate where it would land. Coach had trained them well and set up these clean bags of shit. He did not like elf’s not anyone. 

Looking at the pigskin the elf’s burt through the defense. WHAT!

Dan Mitchell was downed, why was he in the front? Never mind, the elf’s did not move ahead. 

The ball landed two squares behind him. But Lanier should grab it. Billy just followed so he did just that. The two mummies just made some bone crushing tunes hammering the two wannabees to the ground so hard they were excused for the rest of the game. 

Not bowling material, Billy thought, he then looked for some leftovers but nothing to nibble on was left. 

He stood just beside Lanier with the ball and the mummies was in the front keeping some space between them.

 

Elf’s pushed Frank the wight on the right side, and just stepped back a bit with no threat yet. 

There were some shouts from the stand and he heard Bantha yelling, WIZARD FORMATION!!

Ohh yes darn I lost it when I saw the blood that was spilled. 

We moved all up a square and both me and BBQ, as we call the skeleton covered Lanier with wide formation, not luring in any wizards darn burning orb.

 

The elf’s charged in on Dan again, what has he done? He was on the other side also. He might be too dirty Billy laughed a bit to himself. 

He saw Angus charging down a wannabe, failing but the weekly training saved the day and knocked him out of the field, what a nice fist. 

He then moved to support Dan who took down the next wannabe, and with that we had good coverage of the right side so Lanier took the pigskin there. 

I took the base defense, backing up looking all over the field, it looked good. But with the elf’s who knows. 

 

But the elf’s had nerves, they just backed up and one wannabe wanted to show he was good for the team and alone he dodge around getting in our defense field.
I could eat his entire heart without chewing it, he thought and got hungry. 

I just want HIM, and I charged in, pushing him towards Dusty Hill, the giant Mummy. Darn, I must keep those thoughts away, he remembered the coach 's warning. I then pushed him, and pushed him so he ended up with Dusty, who hammered him down and you could hear the bone cracked. My mouth watered, but no bones to chew on were left. 

 

And now we switched corners again, the back was not covered by Rythmeen and angus, just in case as we now were closer than ever to this team of thieves.

Poor Dan was targeted again, ohh my what is something he said?

 

Lanier now moved into scoring range, a bit early I assumed. So I followed up, covering the open space near the sideline. No sign of wizardry as of yet, but there was time. 

But the elf just moved away, how tricky. Argh what are they doing!

We slowly advanced, Billy Gibbons, the mummy lifted the fourth wannabe out from the field knocked out.. 

Two turns left, I covered the front side, just ahead of the touch zone. 

 

Eldril the witch came in and stared Elwood in the eyes and you saw, he just lost himself. NOO!

The last wannabe missed the dodge, but the practice paid off, he could continue and tagged Rythmeen. Then La Bourgogne blitzed in like a flash. 1D on Lanier, perfect hit, he dropped him. Lanier placed the ball beside Angus who was ready. 

But the blitzer had enough, moved in, took the ball and went out as Angus was not even there. 

Right beside the line, but with side step, not too much worry. 

The second star player jumped over and tagged Angus. the Lineman manasoo, flew in and tagged Dan. What the hell man!

 

I rushed to La Bourgogne side, and then came Antenna, blitzing him down with a wrestle. But the ball flew out and it was thrown back in mid zone. Angus then dodged away from Darkwoid, got the ball and ran back but still last in line. Then the orb of fire came, knocking Angus down, but missing Lanier. The Darkwoid came in to support La Bourgogne getting the 1d on Lanier a push would mean an open path to the ball and disaster. 

But skull rr skull, and turnover. 

 

With Antenna and Lanier, we could surf Darwoid the star, but then no sure hand to the ball, I stood ready, it was more or less up to me now. 

Meanwhile Dusty Hill crushed Eldril the bone broke, he was not to be seen anymore. 

Angus took the ball, sprinted towards me, handed over safe and sound, I then rushed to the TD Zone getting that 1-0, what a feeling!

 

The elf was 7, and they dropped and kicked at Dusty Hill, not nothing bothered him that day.

Second half.

One wannabe recovered so now they were 8. 

They again blitzed Dan Mitchel, he was downed but fine. 

Moved a bit to our right side, where I was covering the side. 

Superstar Darkwoid run down and stood in center mid in our part of the field. 

But Angus came in and made soup out of him. Me and afterburner covered La Bourgogne on the right side. 

Erebus with the ball moved back out from any threat. La Bourgogne blitzed me after support but it was a 1d and I just stepped away. But La Bourgogne just dodge through me, he was super quick and as in oil he just slipped through. 

They now had the catcher within range and La Bourgogne of course. 

Me and Angus, covered La Bourgogne, while Antenna and Lanier took down the thrower. Elwood rushed ahead to cover Erebus. And our two mummies took out two wannabes. 

Then Rhythmeen came in with the foot, Impress on Ireland, who got a neck injury but it was saved by apo. 

4 elf’s left. 

 

Erebus runs to mid, draws his arm as a string to be releasing the arrow. Then it flew, so straight it was unreal. Down on target who just stood beside him. La Bourgogne fumbled the ball, and I saw my moment at grabbing it while it was wobbling in La Bourgogne arms. 

Angus took him down, and I ran down and everyone gathered around me. Billy Gibbons blitzed Erebus, killed him out right with a perfect punch.

He will not be throwing anything anymore. 

But I kept my focus with the ball. La Bourgogne were then fouled out, and with 2 elf’s left. 

I could safely run in 2-0 ending the game with that. 

 

Thanks for the game @Khuno Tridentis, sorry for the RIP.

The Promise

Vianna’s introduction

 

The game ended and both Grus and Sand looked with dreaming eyes on the Witch, 

<brothers> Tells us more

Both sounded like they were in a choir. They looked at each other and laughed. 

Even the witch was amused and the happy mood was contagious.

She smiled the widest smile they have seen on her. 

<Grus> Yes where you with this from the beginning?

<Witch> No I was not, but I was one who helped it get started. 

Back then I was the witch in the swamp, indeed I was one as the other. 

There is a good reason for that, I tell you that. 

When you practise the powers of magic, you must be able to do from time to time the forbidden. You must thread on the path which is not really allowed by all and forbidden by others. 

In order to do that you must secure your own safety, right?

 

The brothers looked at each other and did not really see where this was going, but sure there was some logic in it. 

 

The witch continued after that half agreed looks on their faces. 

<Witch> So one day the wanderer came to pay a visit. How he knew where I was I never found out. 

<Sand> The Wanderer who was that?

Witch looked at him with big eyes.

<Witch> Aha, sometimes forget. He is the creator of this marvelous creation.

She gestured with her hands on the surrounding building. 

<Witch> I will never tell his name, as an old witch I have learned to be very careful telling true names to others so I keep his and mine in the unknown. 

She smiled at them waiting for an agreement nod or some words.

Soon there were two heads going up and down like, please get on, do not keep us waiting. 

 

<Witch> Thanks young one. So I was amazed with his skill and powers, he had the sparkle you rarely see. It was like he was a half god, marked and yet, he was just a human. A remarkable one. He asked for a small favour he said only I knew. And it was like keeping an egg and never doing an omelet. So when he was done, he showed me, as I did not believe him. 

And then I promised to support him fully.I left the swamp and followed him all around. From time to time I stayed here conjured magics I never knew before but things he brought back guided me.

 

So there are things here only known by few. Let me show you how it started for OZZ Top season 3. 

 

With that she lend over and pressed somewhere below the play button as she has told them the buttons' true names.

Coach Bantha sat with his team, the OZZ Top, celebrating the last game as it meant they won S2 division so they were going back to the top, Championship of OCC. 

The mummies still mourned the loss of the last game, it was so close. 

The ghouls were feasting happily on the meat that was gathered in the celebration. 

The wights had some odd face motion when they got some magic tee they sipped at through a thin straw. 

 

After the celebration the entire crew was happy and even the necromancer could relax for a bit. The General who was the team owner joined them half way through and showed happiness indeed. Bantha had never seen him that pleased before. I wonder if he had a bet on the outcome. 

 

Bantha thanked everyone and left for his hotel in town, it was time to prepare for the next season. The plans and who was there with OZZ Top was still not settled. 

 

Back in his room, he sat down in his comfortable chair and looked at the opponents. 

He rolled down the pargemet and read from the top.

 

Three orcsisch, sounds bad. Orcs are always bad. Pumped up like cheaters. 4 Blackorcs and 4 blitzers, and they are always around. Well well I knew the path but it is always tough. 

Next Bantha mumbled as he was reading.

Skaven, aha, they are full of tricks.

Elven union and the old Dark elfs are still there, impressive. We have had good results vs both in the past. 

Aha and then the old undead team, haha, winner of S2, impressive indeed. 

I saw what they did and it is amazing he pulled it through.

And then some

 

Then the door opened. 

A big thing entered, he bowed just to fit through the door. Wide shoulders, big arms. On his head he had three horns that circled around themself. Building up to one bit horn like a unicorn. But one of the three was pulled loose somehow, it peeked to the right instead of joining the other two in a perfect pointing horn. 

His face was pure red, normal human nose, one evil red eye. The other eye was really odd, it looked like a small human foot stuck out, where the boot was peeking out, just as the rest of the body was pressed into his head. The foot moved around as he was looking with it. 

 

Then his booming voice sounded. 

<Chaos Lord> Hello dear coach. Nice to finally meet you. 

He produced a smile, it was a forced smile. 

I thought about how he got by the guards on the lower plane. As I nodded and greeted him.

<B> Hello there, this was unexpected, who brings me the honor of this late visit?

He certainly looked like a chaos lord, but why was he here?

<Chaos Lord> Yes down to the letter, good I like it that way. 

I am Prologiouz Cazzardakk, you can call me ProCazz, I like the tune it brings. The fear it summons.

He laughed like a mix from hounds barking and some odd human leftovers as laughter. 

It correctly brought the chill to my bones. 

<Procazz> I am here to offer and guide your future. 

With that he smiled and that smile showed me the 30 nails as teeths sharp as nails I was sure. 

<ProCazz> From this day I will honor you with my presence all the rest of your life. 

All the rest of my life, I had to buy time here, not sure where this was going. 

 

<B> How can you be so sure of that?

He smiled and pressed one of his fingernails to his thumb until it started to bleed. 

He looked as the blood followed it with his eye. 

<ProCazz> When I make a promise I cannot break it. Have you read the book we gave you as a winning offer? That was a fine win to get out off the last season on top. 

 

I knew we got an odd book with some pentagram on the outside, it was not that thrilling to even open it. 

<B> Yes I have seen it, but not read it, yet. 

<ProCazz> Why have you not read it yet!

He yelled at me, and saliva was spitted out word by word in a very hostile way. 

 

I was calmer than ever, not sure I could stay that calm longer.

<B> Well if I gave you a hat, you would not wear it directly would you?

<ProCazz> Well I cannot wear hats!

He yelled at me, he did not need any more delays.

<ProCazz> Will you pretty please, read that book!

He pointed at the book lying on the bookshelf.

 

I turned and looked at it. It was in a blood red color. 

<B> I will not at anytime in the near future read that book, and if you do not mind, I do not accept visitors this late so please

And there I lost conscious. 

 

I woke up, some minutes or hours or days later. My head feel squashed. My arms was locked by some things, as I coughed and when doing so, I tried to move my hands to my chest but I could not. The air here was like on fire. Dry and every breath was hurting my throat. I gaps for air.

Well well well, a booming voice sounded. 

I know where that came from ProCazz for sure. 

<ProCazz> Did I not tell you your last hours were with me. And I have not even asked what I wanted from you, you just COULD NOT LET ME TALK, COULD YOU!

He closed in, and his shoes slammed down every step. Some were on solid rock it sounded and some crushed things while closing in on me. 

 

I opened my eyes but it was blurry and I could not focus, some movement here and some there. 

Too many things moved around. There was a bark of some kind. 

<unknown> Punish him, puuuunish!

A thin voice sounded above all other sounds. I heard things boiling, stones rolling, fluid pouring.

I felt more and more drained, this was it then. Fantastic! 

 

<ProCazz> So now you let me speak, wonderful. I will offer you to be my Coach, for my warriors. My master loves the blood bowl game and I am willing to have you guide my creatures of the night! Of Blood!

He roared. 

<ProCazz> And you only need to sign here with your blood.

He chuckled at me. 

<ProCazz> And if you choose not to, I will end your little life. With that I will follow what I promised however it ends.    

I finally cleared my eyes, I saw my arms were locked to the chair to skeleton mouths tugging down on my arms. They have penetrated my little skin and blood was trickling down from the armchairs to some cup of some sort. Keeping my blood. There he was, dipping a pen in my blood asking for signing my life to his bidding. 

I was near fainting again, I had no clue how long I was kept there and how much blood I have lost. 

 

And suddenly some crashed in the big doors keeping others out from this hellish pit.

I started to blink, things were a blur again. 

I heard screams, female screams. Do NOT TOUCH HIS BLOOD!

There were fights, I heard other screams, like a storm entered. 

Some time later, I’m not sure if I fainted or not. But suddenly what kept me upright, lost its powers and I fell forward. I had no strength left to cover any landing. The skulls left my arms. 

Something got me and I was lost again.   

 

Again the time was unknown to me, but I woke up in bed. A high bed with long sleeves covering the one using the bed. It felt so nice, soft and warm. I heard some whispers and a distant bell rang three times. 

 

I sat up in the soft bed, the pillows were gigantic, and all white. 

Someone pulled the covering linen from the side. 

A familiar face popped out from the lady who removed the cover. 

It was Viccy, my old savor from skaven and god knows how much. 

I smiled and she smiled back. 

 

<tall lady> Welcome Bantha. 

She had a voice like an angel. Dressed in a thin white dress covering too little. 

Her bosom was clearly showing more cleavage than I was used to. 

 

<Vianna> I am Vianna, lady of the keep. I see you noticed Viccy, my dear daughter.

We have kept our eyes on you for a while, and we just saved you from the chaos gods.

 

<B> You did what?

My throat was dry, I could not speak any more. 

I sounded like I was 120 years old I imagined. 

<Vianna> Here please have some water.

I took the glass and sipped the water, it looked like water anyhow. 

It tasted good. 

<Vianna> So, from one barging to another. But this is just our request. We would like you to be our coach when the time is mature enough to welcome vampires back to the blood bowl again!

Currently we cannot join for reasons I do not know, but when we are allowed back we would be happy if you would join our team then as coach nothing bound but of free will. 

 

Blood bowl, holy moses!

<B> Dear Vianna, how long have I been here? Season 3 is about to start at any time I’m afraid. 

But for sure, I would be happy to join the team, but I must warn you there is no plans in the near future, so it might take time. 

 

She smiled and reached her hand towards me.

<Vianna> That I’m aware of, the time is no trouble, it was your interest that was. But this sounds good, not Viccy keep an eye out for trouble will ya, and lets escort this gentleman back to his current team. Will you do that for me my dear Viccy?

<Viccy> Of course dear mother, I would be happy to.

[Bantha]

The Road back

& Green flavor

 

So there I was, tired as hell. Leaning back in the wagon. 

It was big, the size inside was amazingly large.

I have no clue what they use this for or for who. 

 

But now it was only me and Viccy, on the way back to the town and OCC game 1 for season 3. 

I got some fluid that was “good” for me in my current situation. Leaving that enormous castle behind, it has been there forever and yet seen by very few. 

Viccy told me that the fluid was helping my body to create blood faster than just drinking water. 

If anyone had some knowledge in that it would be vampires for sure. 

 

I drank it or took a sip at least. There was almost no taste and it felt good. 

The inside of the wagon was rich in decorations, all in a dark colour and all in velvet. 

Looking out from the window I first had to remove the velvet curtain that keepeth the inside of the wagon dark and shady. Just as I assume the former owners or current owners like it. 

 

The outside flew by, the horses pulling the wagon were of a specialised breed and traveled faster than normal horses would be able to.

I could not see the coach of the wagon and right now I did not care. 

The landscape was thin and dressed in winter dressing. No snow has yet fallen but it was cold outside, the leaves had fallen and the trees stood there naked. 

<Viccy> What is troubling you coach? You look worried? Please take some more of that drink, it will help you. 

Her voice was soft as always, her pale skin now makes sense. Her blue lovely eyes and teenager look was deceiving. But I knew now for sure, she was a vampire and at least double my age. Sent to protect me, my guardian angel. She was dressed like a normal teenager, too short. I was pretty sure she would be freezing, but knowing her origin I’m not sure how vampires feel cold or not. 

I took another sip, looked her in her eyes and asked. 

<B> So, you have worked for Vianna all the time?

I was a bit sad about it, but I still hope she came at free will. 

Outside the weather was grey and the sun was hidden behind grey clouds, the wind pulled the dry leaves around forcing them to create a dance on their own. 

The pain in my arms woke my memories to that dungeon where Procazz kept me, those skulls biting at my arms, keeping me in that awful chair or was it a throne. 

I pulled my sleeves and looked at those pink markings, there were also a stitch or two. 

I opened and closed my hands. I looked at my tendons in my arm how the muscles and tendons worked in my forearms, affecting those scars

Viccy placed two fingers at my arm fold, gently she followed my marks, slowly going down.

Stopping at my wrist, she looked up at me.

<Viccy> They will heal you know, after some games you will not notice those anymore. 

I met her wicked smile with a tired sigh, and I took another deep breath.

<B> It will heal, I know.

I decided to change the subject.

<B> How long trip is this, when are we back with the team?

I started a big yawn. 

<Viccy> Ohh, I thought you’d never ask. It will take a while you know, what to do. Hmm.

She looked at me and dropped the bomb.

<Viccy> Oh yes, I have no pants on

I shut my mouth instantly, my eyes flew up wide. WHAT did she say?

She laughed, and sank down on the velvet couch inside that wagon. Suddenly the wagon bumped into some rock or a hole in the road. That pulled her even more down. 

I was found speechless, I just did not know how to reply.

<Viccy> I have no clue what to do all this time here. You have been dreaming about me, as you mention my names when you sleep. That’s cute.

 

Mine heartbeat went bananas, and then she then pulled the evil or luring smile, I did not know which.

Have I been talking in my dream? Is she just testing me, bluffing?

My pause as I was paralyzed how to act, what to do. 

Because in my boring evening at the hotel between games mid of the week, of course her luring movement has caught my eyes. But in my mid ages she is of course off the records, I could have been her daddy. 

And now knowing she is probably twice my age anyhow. That teen transformation to vamp had halted her aging quite a bit. 

So I started with a fail

 

<B> I.. eeh, I mean.. eeh

Viccy took on a surprised look

<Viccy> Ohh what happened coach, lost your speech back there

Nodding her head in the direction of the castle. 

<Viccy> I was only kidding, be at ease man. Just take a nap, you would probably need it. 

 

But I had too much on my mind to take some rest and I could not get trapped, buy some stupid question, keep my head cool and get back to the real thing. 

<B> Were you part of the rescue from that demon? How long have I been away from the team?

Viccy turned and looked at the roof. 

<Viccy> Of course I was there, saving you again. We lost your track but found it again just in time. Burned the place down, left no one. It has been the entire week boss. Getting back now, we just might get ready for the new season. 

 

My head spun with all things, who handled my team, did we pay in time to enter Season 3, I could not remember. Do vampires have periods, I have been with vampires several years I have never asked them anything regarding that type of lust. Will we get back in time, what happened if we lost the starting game. 

 

I saw Viccy talking and talking, I found myself nodding to her as I was listening. I came back and heard Viccy mention the General, our team's founder and owner.
I interrupted and went to the critical question.

<B> Will we manage to get back in time for the first game?

Viccy nodded, and with a smile she said.

<Viccy> Of course we will

 

We did and we faced the Green once again. 

First half was a disaster, nothing worked and the orcs started and took us by surprise, blitzing them forward. Seconds later they stole the ball. There were orcs all over. The mummies kept some black one busy but the blitzers were on fire. 

But it ended with a happy punch and the ball fell out from the orc hands, and then the Ghouls swarmed the ball making the pickup really hard. So they managed a 0-0 first half.

The problem now was, it was the Orcs drive. 

 

But the orc found trouble and two lineo’s was sent of with a heavy punch from mummies and suddenly there path down in undead territory was closed off by sidestepping ghouls. 

 Stepping back opened for an opportunity which worked and seconds later the ghoul ran down the lane settling 1-0 to the undead. 

2 turns left but when Green thrower the pickup it was a short thing to remove the only scoring threat and 1-0 was the final result. 

 

Thanks for the game @Leman_X_Russ

 

<B> Phew, that was a fight, who is next, do we know?

<Viccy> It’s green flavors again.
