“Alrik Goodman was proud. Proud of himself. It was only a year ago that he had passed his final exams to become an official Reikland bloodbowl reff. And now he, the rookie, had been invited by the grey seers to be the referee at an official Warpstone Open Qualifier: Dirty Little Dinos vs Rata Blanca.

He smiled at his luck when he approached the tunnels leading to this Skavenblight city. This was gonna be start of a great career. He would be the referee that made Bloodbowl a clean sport again.

...

Alrik had been waiting in this terrible city for two days until the match started. It was full of smelly, disgusting rats. But now they were going to kick off. He wondered why they had no reff stands in this city, why he had to stand in the middle of the fans- those smelly vermin-infested rat fans.There were millions of them.

Then it started. The strange albino rat team received. But only one seemed to care about the ball. The rest of them wrestled a giant wild saurus to the ground and held him firmly, when a rat with a spiked boot kicked him right into his face. There was blood everywhere.Alrik Goodman thought: This aggression will not stand!He grabbed for his whistle when he felt a cold pointed blade on his neck.

The shady rat next to him whispered: Zherez not gonna be a zingle call, Reikland collegeboy.... Iz zhere?

(The reff made me win it. First half i stalled it and fouled, whilenearly forgetting to score, and with the wizz giving enough pressure in half two (even with vimezrat throwing a rock at the wrong team from the stands, knocking out my star gutter)to make the Dinos score early, so i could take it home for a 2:1 win against outnumbered lizards. Thx & GG Ulrik, dices did not allow you a lot here).”
