“Commander,

we have reached Ryder's Cove once again and it's even more crowded and busy than last time. If my informant has counted correctly, there are nine other teams present along with the two from Graveshade. I'm starting to miss the tranquility of Liúnar, even though Ryder's Cove is a much more passionate place when it comes to Blood Bowl... but I digress.

Preparations for the tournament are running, and not only games are being played. I myself invested a tiny part of our treasury to make sure those rat-men won't go into the tournament too strong. I'm pretty sure it will pay off.

Meanwhile we played a first match against the "Harmony Decree", the main team of Borosia. I managed to have a little chat with their coach before the game. They really take their mission to bring order to the world seriously. Since they're practically our neighbors, I'm rather worried about that. They can be trouble - and I don't expect Ebon Xanic and them go along well... Maybe we can use that to our advantage though, somehow. For now I'll keep a low profile concerning our attitude towards them.
We lost the game due to a couple of unlucky coincidences, but it did not harm our team... if anything, we have learned another lesson. I am still dissatisfied with our capabilities when it comes to ball-handling. I strongly advice you to do something about it, since even with good training the skeletons can only do so much. More on that later.

Bothia told me that you will be arriving in Ryder's Cove even before the tournament... That's exciting news. I'll prepare everything for your arrival. I have a lot of propositions to make and I'd rather do it in person.

See you soon, Commander!
