Welcome back sports fans to the Nittersleigh Battlegrounds, where the first quarter final game of the Chaos Cup is taking place. I’m Sven Sportsmith with NBC (Nuffle Broadcasting Corp.), and I’ll be taking you through the play by play of what is sure to be a bloody and electrifying clash.  With the a rookie darkhorse Chaos team coming into the Cup trying to gain favor of the gods of Chaos, the Storm have thrown down the gauntlet in front of them and outright challenged the gods of Chaos to the demise of Dark Blessings.  The 4 year veteran team defintely have their work cut out for them as this rookie team has some steep incentives coming to them for stepping onto the pitch.”

“And here some the wagons full of crowns now.  Fully loaded with a million crowns, just waiting to be spent on dirty tricks, magic cards, and plenty of other talents to be had.  But wait, the carts didn’t even stop!  It looks as if the head coach of Dark Blessings has already made his been and spent all the crowns.  Well, let’s see what the damage was.”

“Coach, coach, so let me be the first to welcome you to the Chaos Cup quarter finals.  I’m Sven Sports.,.,.,,.”

“I know who you are Sportsmith, and you aren’t the first.  So ask your questions and let’s be done with this.  I have rituals to perform before my minions hit the pitch, and you are wasting my time.”

“Well, uh, alrighty then.  We saw the gold wagons roll on by so we assume you already had it spent.  Can you share with our viewers what your strategy was for the crowns that came to you?  We hear there was about a million of the beauties!”

“The inducements were all spent.  If you look behind me you will see the best mercenaries and apothicaries money can buy.  Plus we have spent some of it on additional training over the past few days, and this card right here is the linchpin to the entire match up.  Just watch....”

As the head coach of Dark Blessings pulled the card from the dark velvet bad, he threw it up in the air and as it soared upwards, the paper of the card began to bleed and tranform into a fleshy wigned beast.  The flying spawn circled around in the air and as the head coach pointed his finger towards the Storm’s end of the pitch, the spawn let out a blood curling screech and dove towards the Storm’s work out area.  If flew fast and steep and as flew it grew bigger!  It finally crossed the pitch and swooped down into the midst of the Storm.  When it came back up it was 10 times its original size, and in its claws it held the struggling form of Jager the snow troll.  It flew straight up and just as it almost got to the low mist above the pitch, it dropped the snow troll who plummeted to the pitch and landed in a grotesque crash, caving in mid center field.

“Holy crap!” exclaimed Sportsmith.

“Quite the contrary Sportsmith, desperate times call for desperate measures.  The unholy favor of our gods are with us.  Your NBC has reported that the gods of Chaos have not taken special interest in this match, but I know for a fact that they have.  You have wasted enough of my time, now leave me alone wilst we prepare for this match.”

“Well sports fans, straight from the jacka...I mean horse’s mouth!  Chaos is here, and this match is bloody before it even started.  I’d say Khorne is the sponser, but I guess we’ll see.”

As the teams took the pitch, it was obvious that both could hardly see the ball for the heat of bloodlust that filled the stadium.  It was practically all consuming.  The bloodlust radiated from all of the players, manifesting in a heat that sweltering.

“Well there goes the two teams taking up there sides of the gridiron.  I haven’t seen as much bloodlust in the faces of these gladiators since the famed season 3 game between these boys from Nittersleigh and the M&M;ogres.  14 warriors left the pitch that day, and if Khorne is watching, we may get more of the same again.”

“And here we go with the Storm of Mjolnir set to recieve the ball.  Interesting that Ymir has taken to the pitch in that fearsome helmet of his.  He certainly does look like he can live up to that Deathdealer nickname he has earned.  And interestingly enough, he has taken the center position normally held by Jager, straight across from the Minotaur!!  But what’s this, a blitz from the Chaos team!  They repositioned themselves, and position a chaos warrior under the ball.  Ooooooo...!!! and he catches it!!!  The Storm isn’t going respond well to that.”

“And there’s the first hit with Mars attacking the chaos warrior and sending him to the locker room.  The second hit puts another chaos warrior on his back.  As if on cue, Klie and Krakow take guard positions next to the minotaur and Ymir, Ooooooo...., Ymir brought that wicked axe of his down into the minotaur’s skull.  He’ll be out for the game at least after that one!!!  Guess the gifts of chaos with that desperate card don’t come without reprocusions.”

“Welcome back sportsfans to the halftime show.  I’m Sven Sportsmith and we have completed the eight turns of the first half, and with that said, it has been a dusy!!!  We have had a casualty for each of the eight turns, and thre apothacaries have taken to the pitch to care for the injured.  This heat hasn’t come into effect much, but come second half I can’t see how the teams can ignore it any more because its unbearable now.  The blood stains all over the pitch seem to make it worse, and there is so much blood out there the Nittersleigh Battlegrounds field crew are getting extra amounts of sand and moss to soak this stuff up!  We’ll let the field-casters take care of the second half broadcasting and we’ll see you at the end of regulation!”

###

“Holy cow sportsfans!!!  We have definetly one fo the most brutal game on record here, and its still going!!!  After 16 turns of regulation, the Storm and Chaos team haven’t had enough.  They are all tied up at 2, and are going into overtime!!!”

“And there’s the coin toss.  Ewwwwww..... it came up with the chaos sign, the Dark Blessing coach has chosen to recieve.  As the teams take to their sides, one of the Storm’s coaching staff holds up the game coin and starts going nuts.  What’s this...?  The coin has chaos markings on both sides!?!?!  What the....  And there’s the referee coming over, and....  what the… unholy cow!?!?!  He’s ejecting the assistant coach for interupting game play..?!?!?!  Folks this Chaos Cup quarter final game is really chaotic!”

“Well, the refs get the teams back to the game, and they line up for the sudden death drive.  The casualties and heat have really taken their toll on these teams, with only 9 players lining up for Dark Blessings, and 7 of the Storm able to take formation.  And there’s the kick!  Dark Blessing has the ball in had and run right up the middle with a tight cage.  The Storm manuver for a strong safety position with Sven, Mars, and Ymir holding a tight formation, but what’s this..?!?!?!?!  Aden Swift gets up off his back from a brutal block, and leaps over the cage to hit the ball carrier!!!  Holy cow sportsfans!?!??!!  The ball pops out and it comes down between the outstreched hands of every chaos player in the cage to the arms fo Aden Swift!!!  The Storm of Mjolnir has the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Dark Blessings takes it shots and piles on top of Aden Swift.  We can’t see him folks.  The pile is too...wait...wait… take a look at camra 4!!!  There he is sportsfans!!!  Aden Swift has managed to get out of the cage of chaos and is running down the pitch with the ball!!!  The Storm takes up defensive positions to give Aden some distance, but Ooooo, one of the beastmen breaks free and is blitzing after Aden.  He’s putting those horns down and ....  Ooooooo ...  Ewwwww ....  looks like he put the horns down too far and tripped over them in his last push to get to Swift!!!  Aden is in the open and gets to the endzone to put the Storm on top!!!!  What a contest pf strength and staying power!!!”

“I cna’t say enough about this match folks!!!  It had chaos written all over it, whether it be from those crazy gods or from the craziness of this tourny, it was bloody, crazy, and a nailbiter!!!  Everything you want from the playoffs.”

“For NBC (Nuffle Broadcasting Corp.) this is Sven Sportsmith saying, keep the mead cold, the women hot, and the Bloodbowl bloody!!!”
