“A losing streak will leave a bad taste in the mouth of any professional athlete. It motivates you to work harder and take your frustration out on the next team you play. When the losing streak pertains to High Elves with an overinflated ego, the motivation only increases.

Such was the case in this match. Adding to the motivation was the fact that the Archers would be facing orcs, and a team of orcs almost always come with a few lucrative contracts an enterprising elf can collect.

So it was that Coach Jelmer led Deeprootz Happy Chappies into a game at Avelon Stadium against the Archers.

In the opening half the elves concentrated on building a lead and went into the locker room ahead 2-1 and then scored early in the second half to effectively put the match out of reach. With the game in hand Throthradir decided to make some gold on a contract. As the clock ticked down he saw an opening and attacked the star orc blitzer Gary the Greek. While Gary was a skilled Blood Bowl player, he was no match for the assassin’s blade. He fell dead on the pitch with the cheers of the Archer of Avelon fans ringing in his ears.

Soon thereafter the whistle blew and the Archers of Avelon left the field victorious and jubilant. All was well once again in Avelon.
