Heeeey Sportsfans! Lorenz Bootbaeur here live on Cabalvision for the Beerbog Behemoths final match of the CIBBL Albion and Norsca region tournament. We've travelled to the lovely southern part of Albion where the cloud and fog has lifted slightly to give us a tiny glimpse of sunglight - something we haven't seen in a while. Here in the pastoral hamlet of Aglish, home of Lordinium's Lunatics we've settled in to a few days of practice on their well kept yet modest Blood Bowl pitch - well done! Though we haven't seen sight of our opponents yet, word is that they are due to arrive in the hamlet shortly! Speaking of hamlets...

Lorenz looks around wildy for a second then grabs a cherubic halfling into view. He has a mess of curly reddish hair protuding from underneath a rough hewn flat cap

...I'd like to intoduce our new co-host - Kaspar Hamhouse! All time scoring leader for the Golden Spatulas in MEBBL (Mootland Eatery & Blood Bowl League), Kaspar was recruited to the Bernloch Bruisers and recorded 23 flying touchdowns with the help of Treeman Turlathauror Charlimb before the team was ruled unofficial for it's mix of humans, halflings and Treemen.

L: Welcome Kaspar, great to have you here! Hope the trip wasn't too strenuous.

K: Thanks Lorenz- happier than a butcher's dog to be here! Albion's a breath of fresh air after my stint in the Dark Lands.

L: Ah, yes the CIBBL overlords had you out there scouting some of the better local teams in order to expand the league didn't they? How'd that go? I'd really like to see some of those teams in action!

K: Well, we had a few promising teams ready to join - most notably the Wolfland Muckers, the Skullpeak Stabbers and the Gorgoth Firebulls. Sadly, a rather large Orc horde surged through Death Pass putting and end to those inquiries as we all fled for our lives...hahaha

L: Exciting! Well, let's focus on the teams before us here today. I'm sure your experience soaring into the endzone could be helpful to both teams today - any advice for them Kaspar?

K: Make sure to stick the landing and stock some fresh undergarments in your locker! Also, squeal with delight when you're airborne as it just may convince some of your teamates to give it a go

L: Good advice... good advice. Before we get into the team analysis I've got a note here from the Behemoths coach - looks like Nuala Rydan is out of the lineup and into a cheerleader uniform! Nuala of course suffered a severe concussion in her very first match and just hasn't been the same since. In her place, her younger brother Conall will be joining the lineup - could be a short debut though right Kaspar?

K: It sure could Lorenz- most times the new recruits go straight to the line of scrimmage and well, you know how that goes sometimes. I tell you, you've never seen anyone as interested in the coin toss as a new recruit. I still remember my first time there getting sized up by a couple of mean lookin...

Suddenly the Lunatics stride onto the field waving to the cheering fans. The Behemoths stop their pre-match drills to watch and size up their opponents

L: ...Ah! here we go! the Lunatics have taken the field - woah, cool tattoos!

K: yes, those are magical tattoos that offer them protecti... oh, what's this now!

Both teams pixies suddenly leave their practice and form seperate circles. The circles start rotating with pixies chanting and yelling- some start spinning while flailing their arms blindly. The giants and woad berserkers watch with a small measure of concern but don't approach

L: maybe just a traditional greeting between pixies, you know they do like to dance a lot...

The crowd roars loudly as the two rotating pixie circles collide at mid-field and form a larger one circling faster. Several pixies are thrown to the ground and trampled, but get up and start dancing in more explicitly violent displays. Some windmill their arms while spinning occasionally hitting anyone in range- others launch themselves into other pixies with their bodies, bouncing from friend to foe in and out of the circle

K: Oh my! I think what we're seeing here is the Moshrhyfel Pitwll it's a tr...

L: The Mosh what? What are you talking about?

K: it's a traditional pixie war dance - it seems these pixie clans aren't on good terms for some reason.

L: War dance, eh? suddenly this match got a lot more interesting! I thought the two teams being mostly pixies that they just might spend the whole match dodging away and scoring. Now we might see some blood!

K: Well now Lorenz, you know that the objective is to score more than the other team - not just injure your opponents hahaha, but it sure doesn't hurt to try right?

L: sure doesn't! Let's pause for a word from the Behemoths sponsor - Beerbog Breweries...

Here at Beerbog Breweries we cater to all tastes...even those a bit too exotic for the common folk. Are you the tall, mysterious and dark type? Don't like the crowds and prefer your solitude and long walks in the moonlight? Or perhaps you have a vested interest in unearthing forgotten civilizations, shovel in hand? Then Black Pete is the beer for you - a heavy, earthy almost cadaverous beer topped with a thick foam! It's to die for!

On the pitch, the pixie dance has died down and several pixies from both sides are carted off the field to be tended too

K: Alright! Looks like we're about set to start - looks like the Behemoths will have to kick here - just look at the frown on Conall Rydan's face as he lines up...
