Avast me' hearties! The swashbucklers have returned from their Ulthan adventure and their quest for gold and glory has had them set sail towards the Grotty Little Tournament. This year the Islander's decided to enter the Forlorn Races qualifiers where they hope to plunder some lizards, redeaden some undead, and make some ogres walk the plank!

After the disappointing end to the Ulthan Invitational the Islanders are hoping the strong fanbase which cheered them through to the semi finals has not deserted them, so in an attempt to drum up some more support are offering the exclusive one off interview! first in front of the cameras was star blitzer Haggis McMutton Although they all seemed more interested in themselves (and pulling out unnecessary monkey island quotes) then answering the questions! :P

Reporter: So in your old age you seem to have picked up a slight injury, will this affect your play in the tournament?
Haggis: Well, Haggis is only my nickname. My true name is ‘Heart Lungs And Liver Boiled In The Stomach Of The Animal McMutton’.
Reporter: Oh, so your parents were expecting a girl.
Haggis: Aye.

Next up was team doorstep Murray

Murray: I am Murray! The Invincible demonic skull! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I stride through the Gates of Hell – carrying your head on a pike!
Reporter: “Stride”?
Murray: All right then, roll! Roll through the Gates of Hell! Must you take the fun out of everything?
Reporter: You’re about as fearsome as a doorstop.
Murray: Is it a really evil-looking doorstop?
Reporter: Never mind.

As the interview progressed the team got restless, and lead by the ex-barbershop quartet, suddenly all burst into song!

Haggis: We're a band of vicious pirates!
Edward: A sailin´ out to sea.
Bill: When you hear our gentle singing...
Haggis: You'll be sure to turn and flee!

Bill: We're a club of tuneful rovers!
Haggis: We can sing in every clef!
Edward: We can even hit the high notes!
Haggis: It's just too bad we're tone deaf!

Edward: We're thieving balladeers.
Haggis: A gang of cutthroat mugs.
Bill: To fight us off ye don't need guns!
Edward: Just really good ear plugs!

Finally the reporter managed to pull team captain Guybrush aside and quiz him on the swashbucklers first round opponents, PhrollikK's evolving undead team, !rEVOLVEr!

Guybrush: I'm Guybrush Threepwood, ghost busting stud, I fear no undead ball players!
Reporter: And how will you be preparing for the game?
Guybrush: We will be singing shanties and drinking grog into the wee hours of the night! Also we have a special pre game cocktail to banish our inevitable hangovers!
Reporter: Cocktail?
Guybrush: It just occurred to me that mixing medicine and more alcohol is a really stupid and possibly lethal thing to do. If I were a real person instead of a lovable, inept cartoon character with the potential for a few more sequels... I wouldn't even consider it. Skoal!

And with that the Swashbucklers returned to their rigorous training schedule of grog and song!

Returning to the initial point of this blog my first round GLT match vs PhrollikK will be played today at 12:45 bbtime so come /cheer, /hurt, /boo or whatever! :)
