“Warseer Winter 2006 season B
------------------------------------------

New Zaggarand Quakes Vs Tenpole Tudor

The skaven coach strolled across the pitch, now that the rat ogre had been safely chained up. He surveyed the blood stained grass, imprints of skaven figures pushed into the mud and kicked at some hobgoblin teeth and shook his head. He looked up to the cloudy sky and exclaimed "When are we going to beat these accursed bumbling dwarfs"
"Twice now we have out manoeuvred, out played them only to come up against their superior armour defence".
"We score and then they fumbll across the field taking the rest of the game to get to the touchdown but we can't stop them, they always equalize!"

The greyseer coach march into the team pits to have an after match pep talk with his team. Those at the front humble acknowledged his entrance while some at the back, thinking they were hidden in the shadows made stupid fart noises. The coach paused his lips sneering as he scrutnized the assembled team untill all fell silent.

"Ok lets roll the replay" commanded the coach and sat on his throne like chair at the front of the assembly.
"Kick off you positioned yourself well, both gutter runners getting themselves behind enemy lines, doh the Rat ogre, first game opening move and he falls over, Scrit!"
They Greyseer summened his rat scribe.

"Boss!" he crawled

"Excute the Rat ogres trainer." the coach ordred

""Yes boss"

Scit scuries away.

"Dwarfs knock a few over and get a blocking force back, oh Gerald falls over trying to knock that hobgoblin off pitch, hmm I will have to train him in block school."

They all watch the film as the opening turns play. A laugh erupts when the bumbling dwarf teams trips over its own feet trying to make a block. Then OUTRAGE! The greyseer jumps up as he sees Brad majors stand up and move while in a tackle zone.

"What was you doing you idiot" The Greyseer demands

"But Boss you told me to do it I saw you" protested Brad

"Yeah boss you did we see signal" exclaim the rest of the team. They then mutter to themselves proclaiming the seers mistake while those at the back shout "Looser" and far worse insults.

"No No, I was not signaling, I was eating peanuts, Its is a missclick"the caoch silenced them.

"Can we have some quiet now and settled down and watch the rerun"

The noise abates.

They watch as Von Scott the skaven thrower is then surrounded by a a dwarf and a hobgoblin.

But luckily Von Scot dodges out of their tackle zone.

"Well done Von Scott"

"Thanks boss"

The team watch the thrower power along the field to throw a beautiful pass to Eddie who spikes the ball with his claws.

"Well done you two" praises the coach and watches Eddie carry the deflated ball to the end zone, touchdown, one nil.

Cheers sceams and some gurgling shout from the team pit as the touchdown is witnessed until a deep howl is heard and the sound of a metal cage being fiercely rattled is heard. The team go quiet.

"Keep the noise down team you are exciting the Rat Ogre, we dont want him breaking out of the cage in a frenzy do we" said the coach.

On the film the dwarf team make there first run and are fairly successful, the skaven team use their speed to surround the team and the Rat ogre is able to pass his wild animal urges and attack the ball carrier knocking him down.

"Sciiitttt!!" bellows the Greyseer.
After a few seconds Scrit appears. "yes boss?"

"Hold that execution, that pavlovian experiment the trainer had been working on has proved succesful, that was a good idea stiching up the ball with raw beef steaks inside the ball."

"Ok boss" and Scrit scuttles off.

There is a cry of anguish as the team watch Grerald trip over while trying to get past the dwarf lines.

"Damn that dwarf tackle skill" bemoans the coach.

The dwarf team rallies recovering the ball but in the subsequent turn he is blitzed again by the Rat ogre, they coach smirks and nods in appreciation. Gerald jumps up picks up the fallen ball. Runs past the half way line and then throws the ball to the far end of the pitch out of the dwarf grasp.

"Yes that was a tactic I learned from the NZQ" said the coach
"See how they like their tactics turned against them" The dwarf team now unable to get the ball launch a few punches before half time.

The dwarf team push forward with their next assault. A poor kick results in the Bull centaur being handed the ball.
Gerald the dauntless GR attempted a blitz put when the centaur was only pushed back the team all murmured in disappointment.

Then the team witnessed the sad moment when the dwarf team surrounded Frank leaving him no where to side step and knocked him into the crowd.

"How is Frank" asked the coach

"He is still in recovery" replied Scrit returning from the excution chamber.
"He will remain fragile for the rest of his games" he reported.

"hmm mark that centaurs name down for assassination"

Gerald launcehed another blitz knocking th ball carrier over but th ball bounced into a chaos dwarfs hand.

"ahhh" the team cried in disapointment.
"The ball would have been ours boss" stated someone.

The battle went on with the skaven continual surrounding the ball carier. A great block from Riff raff killed a hobgoblin which brought a great cheer from the team but after that, the team suffered. The team suffered multiple injuries, one skaven lineman was killed.

"What was that skavens name " enquired the coach

"Err" Scrit looked at the others for inspiration but they all shrugged and looked aimless.

"Dunno Boss"

"Never mind".

There were only four skaven players left on the field and the cowardly chaos dwarf coach stalled his touchdown knowing his best result would be to equalize. To give the ball to the skaven would loose them the game.

Edit: Getting too late had enough, made my point”
