“The Splendour had heard many rumors about the danger of playing Norse teams and had avoided them with careful excuses explaining everything from bad weather to their uniforms not clean enough. Kane Firebreeze the team leader had enough of their excuses and announced that their next game will be against a Norse team and they will travel to the frozen tundra where these so-called fanatics play.

The result was a disaster for the elves not familiar with the Norse brand of bloodbowl. The norse and their expert coaching quickly dispatched the best elves on the field leaving only a few to try to move the pigskin down the field. It didnt happen. Some quick flashes of splendour brilliance, where a pass looked to be a sure thing, was intercepted by O'Hanrahan who lept into the bitter frost air and grabbed the ball from the outstretched arms of Shael Ithkolia.

Later another pass attempt to Shael resulted in a dropped pass as the agile elf could not move well enough in the tight mob of drunken and angry norse. Shael dropped the hard and cold pigskin to the frozen tundra and watched the norse swarm him and the ball, converting it into another Norse TD.

These situations about sum up the offense of the normally prolific passing attack of the splendour, and the Norse played in a frenzy of bloodlust that would have to be seen, to be believed. The elves on the way back to their calm highland home, realized, that the Norse are a true bloodbowl team to reckon with and for them to take themselves seriously, will have to rematch them again.”
