“'Well, lads, it had ta come. One o' tha team dinnae make it.
Varik o' the Iron Mug, Varik th' stout, Varik who never gave an inch o' ground...Ye were me second, ye were me mate. May ye find the halls o' our forefathers full of beer an' song. An' the rest of you lads...DRINK TO VARIK IRONMUG!'
---Hulgar Hammersmith, Team Captain.

'Drunk many a good ale with Varik back in the day. Many a bad one too, heh. Now he's gone. Makes yer think, dunnit? Makes me think I ain't drunk enough yet.'
---Magni Coppereye, for once not pranking anybody.

'At leas' me an Garrek avenged 'im good an' proper. Two of them scaly critters left tha pitch in chunks no bigger'n me hand. Here's to ye, Varik!'
---Konar Stormstout.

'Well, looks like I'll be handlin' tha interview, Cap'n Hammersmith is on his fifth keg. Bloody good party, Varik'd have loved it. Anyway...what's ta say...hard fight, close win. Erik deserved that award and then some, the way he threw himself at that skink in th' last minute. Won us tha match, he did. Cannae say I be likin' that kinda omen so early on in a new season...ah, blast it. Look, lad, I'm needin' a bit o' ale in me meself. Said all there was ta say anyway. Here. Grab a mug an' drink ta Varik's name.'
