PRELUDE TO WAR

Rules:

You get 6/2/0 points, +1 for every cas (that the client counts actually).

For overall scoring, half the points earned here are added to your group total.

There are 2 rules and 2 fluff behavior rules:

-Elves are here? An ORC team CANNOT accept that elves are so crazy to enter THEIR tournament. If an orc coach face elves he should try to be really nasty with the offender. (fluff behavior)

-Fearless: to reward a fearless elf team for entering this challenge, his points are increased by the number of games played here (e.g. an elf has 5 games here to play, an additional 5 pts are added to their score.)

-Humiliation by gobbos: When a GOBLIN team beat orcs, that's the worst shame ever! All cas points got from the tournament will be reduced to zero and the humiliated team will be treated as an elf in the next editions of the tournament.

-Complete Humiliation: Complete humiliation is when a player concedes a match, because as far as the Orc Warlord is concerned, the coach was too wimpy to fight to the end.

Humiliated teams: Orkawa Raiders, Doompeak Outlaws.

Redemption Easy: When 2 humiliated teams play, the team causing the most casualties is ‘redeemed’ in the eyes of the Orc warlord.

Redemption Hard: If a humiliated coach wins the tournament (or his/her range), then the team is redeemed.

The TR 0-125 group winner becomes a Clan Member.
The TR 126-150 group winner becomes a Hunter.
The TR 151-175 group winner becomes a Warrior.
The TR 176+ winner becomes a Warboss.

Fluff Section:

This tournament takes place at various locations, and is held by various Chiefs among the orc clans.
Usually it is vicious and brutal, a round robin full of blood and injury.

By tradition, it's open to every race even, if the orcs thinks that elves are not crazy enough to play here.

Proud as only orcs could be, they can't let the tournament be won by other races.

But this is the first time other races really considered entering it. Before it was not bloodbowl that was played here, but Bloodgame. After a ritual of the servant of Slaneesh, they changed the rules.

The tournament was running well, and a lot of players left the field, their carriers broken, as were their bodies. But behind the scenes something bad for the Orken Tribes was going to occur. Four famous Clan Warlords wanted to unite the Tribes to attack the Old World, but they all wanted to lead.

The Brawl was the right place to discuss this. The four Warlords were:

-Gort Ironteeth: A Black Ork who feared nobody, and who firmly believed that Archaon's Chaos Horde were the best ally to conquer the Empire.

-Torgush was one of the smartest orc around. He reached his position more by assassinating rivals than fighting them. Therefore he always had close connections to skavens, who he usually paid to kill his rivals. Obviously he tried with the three other clan leaders, but the skavens failed. He was ready to ally with the Horned Rat Servants, after all, because with orc power and skaven speed, they had their chances to succeed in the task.

-Arshruck HammerHead was an orc supposed to be "quarter-troll". His father was (so the rumour says) half-troll and half-black-orc. His mother was a regular orc. Slow in mind, violent, even more so than black orcs, a sadistist, and allied to the Chaos Dwarf. But to Torgush it is obvious that he is merely being manipulated by them. His is nothing more than their puppet.

-Korgeon Brockenbone is a frightening leader. Some think that he might be a shaman. Some think he is cursed. He doesn't speak a lot, always slowly and looking you in the eyes, giving you the shivers. He wears a robe, which is uncommon. His alliance with the undead and affiliated necromancers doesn't suit too many orcs, but in his own clan, disagreeing with him meant joining the ranks of the undead. Korgeon almost always had 2 zombies that served him. This never suited the three other Warlords.

During the whole tournement debates arose, and more and more it became obvious that the outcome would be a fight between them.
