[Malorian]

Day 18:

Killy McSlashy (+1 attack/3+ sv) and Zappy McBlasty (1 wound)
vs
Aelruil Killelyth and Saetril Killelyth


Warboss Morko and his right hand man(orc) sat down with a couple of jugs of mead each to watch the days fight.

Typically the two orcs got along very well but today they were bickering as they very much disagreed on which side would win that day, and having each made a big wager they were very keen to see their side win to give both riches and gloating rights.

“Ah der you go Krazyface, my wiz’rd iz start’n. Youz gonna get zap’d!”

“As if Morko. My guyz’z bow iz gunna shoot your fighta down!”

The bray horn sounded, marking the beginning of the fight, and both orcs took a quick swig before turning their gaze to the ring.

As the chaos warrior known as Zappy McBlasty started to cast a spell Morko couldn’t help but keep back the excitement, “Aligh’t ere we go. Dat fire iz gunna… gunna… wat da hell?!?! How da hell did dat armor absorb da fire?”

Krazyface just smiled, “Cuz your guys suck. Aligh’t ere comes my guyz bow… ooooh dat arrow in you guyz’z gut sure must not feel nice, and oh, wait for it… BANG! Oh ya! Dat sword in da throat REALLY ain’t gunna feel good.”

“Sha’dup… my next guy can kill both of yer guyz no prob.”

“Not if he getz shot down first…”

Both orcs took another swig, finishing off their first jug, and waited to see who was right.

“BANG! HEAD-SHOT!!! Take dat Morko! WOOOOHOOOO!!!”

“Sha’dup…”

“Oh yeah! In yer face!”

“I said sha’dup…”

“Looks like you iz wrong again Morko! Ha ha!!!”

Gritting hit teeth Morko winded up and punch the cheering big boss in the face, knocking him out.

“I told ya to sha’dup…”


Aelruil Killelyth and Saetril Killelyth move on.

Killy McSlashy (+1 attack/3+ sv) and Zappy McBlasty are eliminated.

Day 19:

Lord Dracon Von Kirchenwien and his trusty wight king
vs
Eli Stonesmasher and Graz Stonesmasher (1 wound)


In the middle of the night the tent of he twin albino dwarfs had a visitor.

Slipping under one of the flaps the mage made his way to the cot of Eli Stonesmasher and began to cast his magic curse. It didn’t take long and soon he was on his way out, but he would never make it…

From the darkness tentacles sprang out and grabbed the mage, and struggle as he might he couldn’t get free. From the glow of a lantern the mage saw the deamonicly twisted face of Graz Stonesmasher, and then was ripped to pieces.


Heading towards the ring Lord Dracon Von Kirchenwien looked at his next set of opponents. Dwarfs eh? Albinos eh? One possessed by a devil eh? Yawn…

Without a word Dracon gave his wight king the command to go in and deal with them while the vampire himself sat down and relaxed. The wight king, a long dead Bretonnian knight still riding his skeletal steed, drew out his sword and rode into the ring.

Waiting for him was Eli Stonesmasher. The dwarf was feeling uneasy and that probably had something to do with the intruder his brother ‘saved him from’ in the night. But there was no time to worry about sore bones, there was fighting to do!

The bray horn sounded and the eerie wight king’s steed reared up and charged forward.

Eli waited… waited… waited until the wight’s rusty sword was about to be swung, and then swung his axe just perfectly to not along knock the sword aside but also to dive the axe into the wight chest.

The axe smashed a red amulet that had been on the wight’s chest and the undead creature howled as not only his chest was cracked open by the axe but also the contents of the amulet made the damage worse like acid in a fresh wound.

The albino dwarf smiled and retracted his axe for another blow, but the wight acted first, plunging his sword into the dwarf’s chest and directly into his heart.

Eli’s life blood quickly spilled out and he fell dead to the floor.

His possessed twin brother, Graz, didn’t even look down at the fallen dwarf as he walked in. His black eyes were just on the wight and all around him tentacles began to grow out from his skin.

Slashing with his ancient sword the wight cut off the tentacles as he made his way towards the deamonic dwarf, and as the loped off tentacles hit the ground they quickly crumbled to dust.

3 feet away from his prey the wight grabbed his sword in both hands and in one move cut through 2 more tentacles and removed the dwarf’s head from it’s body.

In a burst of fire the possessed body of Graz crumbled to dust and with a yawn Lord Dracon commanded the wight to follow him back to his tent.

On his way out a spectator in the crowd leaned over and blew glass into the eyes of the vampire. Scratching at his eyes and blinking it took a moment for Dracon to see clearly again and by that time the assassin was gone.

Lord Dracon smiled… perhaps, with an assassin after him, this tournament wouldn’t be so boring after all…


Lord Dracon Von Kirchenwien and his trusty wight king move on.

Eli Stonesmasher and Graz Stonesmasher are eliminated.


Eli cursed with 2 negative rerolls.

Day 20:

Dabad the BowGoblin
vs
Malik Sixtyeight and Lord Skitter the Sorebones


Malik scowled as me made his way to the ring, and after a few more steps he couldn’t take it any more and spun around.

“Seriously guys, you don’t need to be here. I’m an assassin! What are you going to protect me from? Myself?”

The three ironguts behind him just grunted, and one of them replied, “Orders are orders.”

“Whatever…”

Looking into the ring the dark elve assassin saw his next target, one of those foolish goblins hopping around on a cave squig that had flooded the tournament this year. But then again what did he care… a kill was a kill, and he had a job to do.

With his black cloak fluttering behind him he leaped up the stairs and into the ring and soon after the bray horn signaled the start of the match.

The ‘foolish goblin’, Dabad the BowGoblin, kicked his squig into action and laughed like a madman as it started bounding, seemingly randomly, around the ring.

Malik drew out his poisoned daggers, waited until just the right moment, and then darted forward.

Unfortunately he miscalculated… having watched the cave squigs pattern he was certain it was going to jump left, but instead it jumped right… The assassins blades stuck nothing but air, and as Malik sped by Dabab lashed out with his sword and took off the top half of Malik’s head like a knife through a tomato.

Everyone in the arena was stunned… and many, who had made a large wager that Malik would be the winner, stopped breathing...

Malik’s partner, Lord Skitter, a skaven warrior raised from the dead, slowly made his way into the ring dragging a large axe behind him.

Dabad started bounded towards him and those with their entire fortunes on the line almost couldn’t’ bare to watch…

The goblin swung his magical sword… with it’s energies spent it only bounced off the exposed skull of Skitter… and then with a crash the large axe smashed first into the cave squig, knocking it out of the ring like a base ball, and then it swung up and back around to fall onto the goblin as he was still in mid-air.

Some pouch on the goblin exploded as the axe pierced it but it only knocked the wight back and didn’t seem to do any serious damage.

Hundreds of spectators let out a sigh of relief and then Skitter, followed by the three ironguts, made his way back out of the ring.


Lord Skitter the Sorebones move on.

Dabad the BowGoblin and Malik Sixtyeight are eliminated.

Day 21:

Aggis da Git and Harrgle da Drunk
Vs
Sir Gobbles and Piggenton


When a man showed up to talk to Sir Gobbles before the fight at first the noble goblin didn’t know what to think, then when the man said he was there to add a poison coating to his weapons Sir Gobbles went into a rage.

“How dare you! Do you not see I’m a knight? Do you have no understanding that I stand for truth and honor and not foul play and trickery?”

The man rolled his eyes. Never before had he even heard of a fighter turning down help before a fight, and if he didn’t do the job he wouldn’t get paid… but perhaps there was another way…

“Um… did I say poison? Oh dear, my mistake, you see I meant to see it was… um… holy water, um yes, holy water from the lake of the Lady herself!”

“Oh really? Well why didn’t you say so in the first place? Sprinkle away my good friend.”

The mystery man poisoned/blessed the goblin’s weapons and then left leaving him none the wiser.


At the arena Harrgle was waiting impatiently for the fight to begin. Before the fight he had drank 5 jugs of something called ‘Redbull’ and now his mind was spinning with a need to do something… quick…

So when their opponents showed up, and the one known as Piggenton stepped into the ring, the crazed orc was moving even before the bray horn was blown.

Now Piggenton, Sir Gobbles’ squire, was not new to fighting. Having bested and tamed a gigantic spider he rode it into the arena with his head held high and ready to do his master proud, but the speed at which Harrgle came at him even surprised him.

Harrgle’s ball and chain whipped around as the black or spun faster and faster and when he got to the poor squire the result wasn’t pretty… spider and goblin were pounded over and over and each blow either crushed the bone underneath or removed the body part completely.

What had been a proud goblin and his tamed mount was not just a paste of flesh and bone…

The spinning took it’s toll on the orc as well and he doubled over and emptied out the contents of his stomach onto the arena floor. At least now his mind was a bit clearer since the Redbull was out of his system, which was just in time since an angry Goblin knight was coming straight for him…

“For Piggenton!” Sir Gobbles yelled as he ‘charged’ across the ring on his squig.

Harrgle barely had time to wipe the puke from his lips before the goblin knight was on him and his magical sword slashed through his arm, through his leg, and this jabbed into his side.

Blood mixed with the vomit and Harrgle da Drunk collapsed into it…

“Ha ha! Revenge for Piggenton! Burn in hell you vile monster!”

Aggis da Git raised his eyebrow and bounced into the ring on his own cave squig. He was impressed that the confused goblin had bested his large partner, but the sight of this knightly green skin truly intrigued him.

The two nearly identical goblins stared at each other from across the ring… both night goblin warbosses, both riding a cave squig, both wielding magic swords that drew in strength from their opponents… the only difference was one was a master mind and the other was crazy enough to think they were a knight…

Suddenly an idea came to Aggis. With his partner dead his chances in this tournament were already slim, and hacking away with this fellow goblin could only lead to injury if not death, however…”

“Good knight, hold and don’t attack!” Aggis said while lowering his own sword, “My name is Sir Aggis and I too have searched out monsters so that I may slay them. What say you that we combine out forces and together, with the blessing of the lady, we can purge this tournament of all the foul creatures that we find?”

Sir Gobbles was stunned. This ‘Sir’ Aggis certainly didn’t look like a knight… but her certainly talked like one… finally his warped mind came to a decision.

“Sir Aggis I welcome your aid and have high hopes that we will vanquish all evil before us. Let us now go so that we can prepare and trade stories of our past victories over a jug of mead.”

Aggis smiled. Harrgle had simply been there to fill in a need, this new partner would do the same but would be a lot more interesting…

Sir Gobbles and Sir Aggis move on.

Harrgle and Piggenton are eliminated.


Battle brew gives Harrgle hated, and underground gives him ASF in the first round.
The weapons of Sir Gobbles are poisoned.

Day 22:

Muklar Wildfang
vs
Osiris and Anubis


Osiris, the fallen high elve, and Anubis, his captured deamon, made their way to the ring with two ironguts following them. When they got to the gate Osiris turned to Anubis and gave him a vile containing some glowing liquid.

“Drink this. I had a ‘friend’ make it for you.”

The deamon didn’t trust the elve, but being bound to follow his commands he did what he was told and then entered the ring.

His opponent would be Muklar Wildfang, a savage orc riding a boar covered in metal plates, nothing that scared the monsterous deamon…

The bray horn sounded and the orc rushed his boar into action. The brave act caught Anubis by surprise and within a heart beat he was trampled over by the large boar.

For a second Osiris thought the deamon might be dead, but slowly the potion he had given him did what it was suppose to do and reformed the trampled deamon back together.

Muklar was confused but not frightened, he turned his boar back around and charged again… it didn’t turn out well for him… The fury of this captive deamon had been seen before but now he was mad, scorned that this orc had actually almost killed him…

The screams of Muklar sent chills down the spines of veteran fighters, and the unspeakable gore bad woman and children faint…

Dripping with blood Anubis exited the ring and turned to Osiris, “I thank you for what you did for me. I will see to it that you die quicker and suffer less when I escape these bounds…”

“What more could I ask for…” The elve said with a wink, and they left the beastmen to run in and clean the mess.


Osiris and Anubis move on.

Muklar Wildfang is eliminated.


Anubis gets 3 rerolls
Muklar does 3 impact hits (5,5,2)(4,2 rerolled to 5,4)

Day 23:

Foaming Mad Larkin
vs
Smacky and Zappy


“WAALOO WAALOO!!!”

This was the scene of the arena a full 2 minutes into the match: running around the ring was a crazed savage orc shaman chasing after a squirrel while trying to blast it with magic, and then across from him was the Smacky, a skaven warlord who wasn’t sure what to do…

“Is this guy for real? Is this actually suppose to be some kind of trick?” He asked his partner Zappy. Zappy just shrugged his shoulders and turned back to the chaotic scene.

“WAALOO WAALOO!!!” Foaming Mad Larkin yelled again, and a bolt of green lightning narrowly missed the squirrel darting around in the wall of the ring.

“I… I think he might just be retarded…”

This hypothesis was soon answered as the savage shaman, who had finally fried the squirrel with his magic, was now wearing the creature as a hat…

Walking up to Larkin Smacky was all smiles. “Hey there pal, that’s a cool hat. Mind if I take a look at it?” Meanwhile he was activating his magical arm bands behind his back…

“Waaloo? Wally… WOO!!!” Obviously the shaman didn’t trust the rat with his new prized possession, and he tuck his hat off and hugged it to his chest.

“Oh come now… you can trust me. Why don’t you put it back on so I can at least get a good look at it?”

The orc thought for a second, and then began raising it to his head.

BANG!!!

Just when the fried squirrel was in front of the orc’s face, Smacky punched him in the face, and the added strength given to him by the magical arm bands meant that it was like hitting him in the face with a sledge hammer.

The fried squirrel ended up where the shaman’s (twisted) brain used to be, and Smacky and Zappy left the ring wondering if they would ever meet a worthy opponent…


Smacky and Zappy move on.

Foaming Mad Larkin is eliminated.

Day 24:

Sanchu and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff
vs
Shogun Tokugawa


Shogun Tokugawa had taken a beating in his last fight but he had had plenty of time to rest up and was now ready to once again show the world the power of Nippon!

Riding into the ring on his highly decorated steed the samurai warrior pulled out his large club like kanabo and studied his opponent with curious eyes… for starters the Shogun had never faced a ‘Lizardman’ before, but this once standing before him just didn’t seem real… the skin was loose, the eyes didn’t quite match up with the sockets, and the way the legs bent didn’t match that of his partner waiting outside the ring… but as he had never faced them before he just chalked it up to being just different species or something…

The bray horn sounded and Tokugawa kicked his horse and sped forward, ready to crush his opponent with his studded club, but a moment later he found himself in pain!

With a flick of the wrist a throwing star ripped into the shogun’s shoulder, having easily cut through the oriental armor.

Shogun Tokugawa clenched his teeth and pressed on but just before he reached the lizardman his opponent wiped out a pair of blades from behind his back and threw them.

Tokugawa’s quick reflex’s allowed him to dodge one of the blades but the other one sank deep into his chest.

The Lizardman rolled out of the way while the samurai toppled to the ground and his horse charged past. Then walking back he pulled his blade free and slit the Shogun’s throat.

From inside his lizardman costume the skaven assassin Scratch ‘n’ Sniff was glad that the Nippon team was no longer a problem. It had been in Nippon that the Clan Eshin had first learned their skills and so if anyone would see the assassin for who he was and expose him it would have been the shoguns.

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff motioned toward his unexpecting partner and the two of them left the ring.


Sanchu and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff moves on.

Shogun Tokugawa is eliminated.


Bands of power activated.

Day 25:

Lord Kormas the Dead and Lord Kormas the Dead Double
vs
Aelruil Killelyth and Saetril Killelyth


Aelruil and Saetril once again sat in their tent, sharpening their blades and testing their bows, waiting for their next battle.

Saetril broke the silence, “So I saw Osiris’s last fight. That deamon of his seems fairly powerful.”

“All deamons are powerful…”

“You realize we’ll have to defeat it to show Osiris the error in his ways don’t you?”

“Currently I’m more concerned about the zombies we have to dispatch, but yes we will have to deal with that deamon soon enough…”

Saetril turned back to his blade. There was no use talking to Aelruil when he was like this, his mind was focus on the task at hand, and although Saetril knew that his should be too he just could help but excited that their goal was quickly coming within their grasp…

“Brains!!!” Yelled Lord Kormas the Dead Double as he rushed into the tent.

Saetril was in a state of shock but Aelruil quickly pulled him away from the raging zombie and with a flick of his sword both the high elves were quickly rushing out through the back of the tent.

Getting a hold of himself Saetril stopped and turned around, aiming his bow at the opening in the tent.

“Saetril! What are you doing?”

“Keep going, I got this bastard…”

Kormas the dead double soon began forcing his way through the opening and Saetril fired off three fast arrows into the zombie’s chest. The zombie wasn’t done yet though and seeing that he was still coming Saetril drew out his long sword and charged it.

Aelruil looked on in horror, “Saetril! No!!!”

But it was too late…

The reckless high elve swung the long sword with all his might but the unfocused blow was easily deflected by the zombie’s rusty blade and then a moment later the zombie grabbed Saetril and was biting into his throat.

Aelruil grabbed his magical bow and fired an arrow into the zombies head once he had a clear shot. The glowing arrow sank deep into the zombie’s head and a moment later it exploded.

Rushing over Aelruil pushed the body of the zombie out of the way to tend to Saetril, but the damage had already been done… a chunk of flesh, the size of an apple, had been bitten away from his neck and his life blood was pouring (and squirting) out so fast that there was no change to save him…

“BRAINS!!!” From behind the prone elve the zombie’s partner jumped out from behind a stack of barrels.

Aelruil spun around and aimed his bow, but seeing that he didn’t have enough time to get off a proper shot so he instead rolled away.

But not before the zombie grabbed his leg…

Hitting into the elves flesh the zombie began to feast, and Aelruil couldn’t help but break his usually calm demeanor and yell out in pain.

Not totally losing focus Aelruil did his best to brace himself and then with both hands he drove his sword into the zombie’s head.

The zombie twitched and then eventually let go, allowing Aelruil to get back to his feet.

From behind him Aelruil heard a movement so he once again spun around, ready to fight off whoever else was there, but then lowered his sword when he saw who it was… it was Saetril!

His skin now was greyess and his eyes pitch black… he was a zombie!!!

Looking on from the shadows, Osiris couldn’t help but smile from the irony that now the elve that was hunting him for working with a deamon would now himself be working with a zombie…


Aelruil Killelyth and Saetril Killelyth (1 wound) move on.

Lord Kormas the Dead and Lord Kormas the Dead Double are eliminated.

Day 26:

Lord Dracon Von Kirchenwien and his wight king
vs
Lord Skitter the Sorebones


Lord Dracon yawned as he looked at his opponent.

“A wight king… really that’s all? Not even a partner?” The vampire thought to himself.

During the entire tournament Lord Dracon had been disappointed by the serious lack of worthy opponents and even now, in the quarter-finals no less, it looked like he would once again be pitted up against a lesser foe.

Suddenly an idea came to him, an idea so interesting that it had him grinning from ear to ear: why not bring this creature back to life?

First of all it would be a challenge to his mastery of the dark arts and secondly the living creature would certainly be more of a challenge than a slow and dim-witted wight king.

Focusing all of his will and magical strength he began to weave the spell, and those in the crowd around him could feel the small hairs on the back of their necks start to stand on end and the air became electric with the winds of magic. Uttering the forbidden words Lord Dracon pointed at the wight king and a beam of green light sped out. Lord Skitter’s body became stiff and raised up in the air before a burst of green light nearly blinded all those who were watching.

When the crowd blinked away the dullness in their eyes they were first surprised to see that the wight king had been reverted back to the living and Lord Skitter, the skaven warlord, was now standing alive and well, and secondly they were in horror that they themselves were missing chunks of skin!

You see the blood, flesh, and other living organs had to come from somewhere and so those who had unfortunately been sitting near to the vampire now found themselves to have been the unwilling donors.

On Lord Skitter’s part his mind was twirling like when you first wake up after a weekend of heavy drinking. He wasn’t sure where he was, didn’t know what he was suppose to do, and didn’t know… oh wait… wait a second… it all started flooding back. Skitter started to recognize the arena, quickly figured out what was going on, tossed away the large and cumbersome battle axe that had been put in his hands, and drew out his trusty blade.

“Very good,” Announced the vampire, more to himself than to anyone else, “Shall we?”

Skitter narrowed his eyes, “Lets dance…”

Lord Dracon lowered his flaming lance and charged looking to send the rat back to the realm of the dead, however he underestimated the speed of the skaven warlord who easily leapt out of the way and then with a slash of his blade cut into the vampire’s thigh.

“Excellent! Finally a challenge!” The vampire though as he turned his steed around. The only problem was that Skitter had disappeared!

Looking around the vampire couldn’t figure out where he had gone and actually wondered if the rat had fled the arena… then he felt the chill of the skaven’s blade cutting through his spine…

The vampire tumbled to the ground and Skitter soon hoped off the horse as well.

With his last ounce of strength Lord Dracon summed his wight king to avenge him before his body began to crumble away.

The wight king was mounted on a skeletal steed and covered in rusty grey armor and in his hands an ancient sword glimmered in the morning light.

Lord Skitter wasn’t scared though. He had seen the other side and, although he didn’t want to go back, he certainly wasn’t going to spend his new life being scared of it.

Gripping his blade tightly Skitter rushed forward, flipped over a slow jab from the wight king, and then drove the blade into the wight king’s face.

The wight king went still for a second and then crumbled to dust.

Those who were not still screaming over missing body parts burst into cheers and Lord Skitter made his way out of the ring looking forward to a good meal, good drink, and all the woman the gold from the vampire’s belt could afford.


Lord Skitter moves on.

Lord Dracon Von Kirchenwien and his wight king are eliminated.

Day 27:

Sir Gobbles and Sir Aggis
vs
Osiris and Anubis


Osiris woke up, stretched in his cot, rolled out of bed and then his mouth dropped open when he saw Anubis…The once might and powerful deamon was now in the form of a red rabbit!

“What... the… hell?!?!?”

Anubis, the unamused rabbit, look up at the high elve with dagger eyes as he replied, “We had a visitor last night…”

“Who?”

“A mage…”

“And what? He turned you into a rabbit?”

“First of all it was a woman and second of all yes…”

“Why the hell didn’t you do something about it?!?!”

“Blame yourself! It was you using that stupid amulet that commanded me not to hurt anyone unless you specifically told me to…”

Orisis gave himself a face palm…


At the arena another discussion was going on.

“Me?”

“Yes you!” Replied Sir Gobbles. “I have already proven myself as a valiant knight, but you still have to. Hell you’re lucky to be called Sir Aggis at all!”

Sir Aggis bit his tongue before he answered. There was no use picking a fight with this other goblin and if all he had to do was kill one other fighter before he could send this foolish Goblin knight back into the ring to fight for him then so be it.

“Alright fine… I’ll do my part Sir Gobbles. I’ll prove to you just how valiant I… um… is that a rabbit?”

“Ok, so this time I’ll go in first and take care of things. I can’t have you being killed before I find some way to reverse the curse.”

“As you wish…” Anubis replied as he hopped towards the ring.

Once at the ring Osiris entered the ring, for the first time of the tournament, and drew out his shining white sword.

Sir Aggis saw the magical sword and started to have second thoughts, but it was too late as the bray horn sounded a moment later.

Like a beam of light Osiris sped across the ring, but stopped when his opponent was pointing behind him.

“Hey mister, your rabbit just turned into a deamon!”

“Really?” Osiris’s head turned back towards Anubis, but to him it appeared his partner as still a rabbit…

The high elve never had a chance to turn back to the lying goblin as Sir Aggis’s dagger entered the back of his neck and severed his spine.

“Ha ha! I’m free!!!” Anubis yelled out as his former master fell dead to the floor.

“But you’re still a rabbit…”

“Don’t mock me goblin…”

“Oh what are you going to do eh? Nibble at my knees?”

Anubis had had enough… the deamonic rabbit burst into flames and leapt at the goblins throat, ready to tear it apart.

Unfortunately for him Sir Aggis’s trusty cave squig jumped up, opened it’s mouth, and swallowed him whole.

From the side lines Sir Gobbles began to clap his hands. “Very good Sir Aggis, you have certainly proven yourself.”

Aggis turned towards his companion and winked, and somewhere deep inside him he started to think that this knight stuff was actually kind of fun…


Sir Gobbles and Sir Aggis move on.

Day 28:

Smacky and Zappy
vs
Sanchu and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff


Zappy eyed his opponent carefully… the creature looked like a lizardman, but he knew that one of his own, a skaven assassin, had been fighting in the arena disguised as a lizardman.

The skaven engineer was studying the lizard in front of him so closely that he didn’t notice the other lizardmen waiting at the gate throw a ball at him. The small ball hit Zappy in the face and exploded in the cloud of glass dust.

Zappy scratched at his eyes trying in vain to clear them but he wasn’t quick enough. Sanchu, the real lizardman scarvet, walked up to the flailing rat and hit him again and again and again with his obsidian club.

Within seconds Zappy was no more than a lump of broken bones and blood…

“Trickery will only get you so far!” Smacky yelled as he ran into the ring.

His arm bands began to glow, willing the skaven warlord with magical power, and his twin blades twirled as they hacked away at Sanchu.

Now Sanchu was no wimp and his hide was known to deflect even direct sword blows, but the magical power of the arm bands gave Smacky the strength to not only hack off limbs but also drive his blade deep into the lizardmans chest.

Before he went down however the scarvet made sure to do his duty and rammed his obsidian blade into the gut of the warlord. The wound wasn’t enough to kill the rat, and the lizardman was certainly dead, but it was just his cold blood instinct to do what he could before he fell.

Bleeding badly Smacky pushed the dead Shanchu away from him and looked to his next opponent, just in time to see a throwing star hit him dead between the eyes.

The skaven assassin had struck again, and his secret identity was still safe.

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff bowed to the cheering crowds and left the ring to prepare for the semi-finals.


Scratch ‘n’ Sniff moves on.

Day 29:

Aelruil Killelyth and Saetril Killelyth (1 wound)
vs
Lord Skitter


Quiet and solemn, Aelruil sat in his tent thinking…

In a way they had already finished their quest as the high elves who had lost their way were now all dead… however it was now he who risked shaming his kin by working with his brother, Saetril, who had been turned into a zombie…

Looking up he stated at Saetril, still chained to a post he had set up in his tent, and then looked back down as he continued his thoughts…

There was no other way…

Standing up he walked over to his brother, drove a dagger into his brain, and then left the tent with a single tear falling down his cheek.


“Girls, girls… seriously I have to go now…”

Skitter had spent the last couple of days celebrating his new lease on life with copious amounts of meat, mead, and women. Now it seemed those women, who had enjoyed his loose purse, were not willing to let the skaven warlord go.

Pulling himself from their lustful arms Skitter grabbed his sword and rushed towards the ring, fully intending to be right back as soon as he was done.


At the ring Aelruil watched quietly as Skitter made his way in through the gate, still doing up his belt as he did.

Aelruil felt empty inside, he had finished his quest but lost his brother and all he wanted was to go back home…

Skitter felt full inside, all that bacon and whiskey still bloated his stomach and he could wait to go back to his tent and work it off…

Then the bray horn sounded…

And a man dressed in black jumped in the ring with them!

Both Skitter and Aelruil looked confused as the ninja peered at both of them, grabbed something from his belt, and then threw it.

The ball hit both fighters in the face and exploded in a cloud of glass dust!

“Ahh! My eyes!” Yelled Skitter.

“Ahh! I can’t see!” Yelled Aelruil.

They couldn’t see anything for 5 minutes as both fighters struggled to clear their eyes (all the while the crowd laughing at their struggles) but when it finally happened it was Aelruil to make the first move.

Drawing out his bow he aimed his shot as best he could and then fired. The arrow hit Skitter directly in the chest and was even so accurate that it pierced his heart.

The skaven warlord would not be returning to his waiting brothel…

Glad that the fight was over Aelruil turned around to leave when he noticed a figure blocking his gate…

It was Osiris!

Aelruil couldn’t believe his eyes and at first he thought the glass dust must be distorting his vision, but after some squinting there was no mistaking that it was Osiris.

“Osiris, I thought you were dead?”

There was no answer…

It was then, now that the last of the glass dust had worked itself out of his eye, that he noticed that Osiris’s skin was grey… he WAS dead… but not a zombie like his brother, Osiris had been raised as a wight king!

Aiming his bow again Aelruil fired a quick shot into Osiris’s chest, but his undead opponent his looked down at the shaft sticking out of his chest and pulled it out before raising up his white sword.

Aelruil knew what Osiris could do with that blade and knew that if it wasn’t for his slowed reactions (on account of him being dead) that it might had already been too late… Aelruil had to move quickly…

Drawing out his own long sword Aelruil rammed it into the wight king’s chest, just a bit higher than where the arrow had entered.

Once again Osiris just looked down at the wound but this time he spoke.

The words came out raspy and dry, but he clearly said, “Good bye Aelruil…” and then with a swing of his arm the white sword flashed across and cut Aelruil’s head from his body…

His quest had failed, and worse yet, if Osiris won the tournament and got his hands on the arena sword, along with his new undead powers, he would be even more powerful than his deamon had been…


Osiris moves on.

Day 30:

Sir Aggis and Sir Gobbles
vs
Scratch ‘n’ Sniff


Sir Gobbles didn’t like that fact that they were being escorted to the ring by seven hulking ironguts.

“I say Sir Aggis, is this truly necessary? I mean we are knights after all and it’s not very knightly of us to hide behind hired thugs.”

“Oh Sir Gobbles you have no idea. This tournament is a dangerous place and especially now that we are so close to the final there are assassins and mages for hire that would see to it that we don’t complete our quest.”

“If you say so Sir Aggis…”

Suddenly a ruckus broke out behind them and the two goblin knights turned around to see their ironguts roughing up some man in a black cloak, and a eating from seven ogres is always a messy affair… a few moments later they tossed the broken and bloody ninja back into the stands.

“You see Sir Gobbles, they ARE needed.” Sir Aggis said with a wink.

Sir Gobbles however was more worried about something else, “OH MY GOD! AGGIS LOOK OUT!!!”

Aggis turned around just in time to see one of the ironguts raise up his 5 foot axe with the clear intention of cracking open the goblin’s skull. There was no time to react and Sir Aggis was only saved by the actions of the other ironguts who grabbed and knocked the double agent over.

The arena of death certainly was a dangerous place and you never knew what would happen next now that the underground was as busy as candy store on Christmas.


In the ring Scratch ‘n’ Sniff waited patiently for his next opponent. So far his skill had dispatched his foes quickly but he was a little bit concerned over this fight. He knew these goblin knights would come at him fast and he also knew from his sources that ‘Sir’ Aggis was as cunning and tricky as they came, so he would have to be on his toes.

Finally the goblins arrived and the assassin gripped the throwing star in his hand even tighter.


“Alright Sir Aggis, you prove yourself last time so let me take this lizardman on.”

“You mean rat…”

“What are you talking about? That is clearly one of the ferocious saurus.”

Sir Aggis rolled his eyes, “Oh right… silly me… ok buddy, go get em.”

Drawing out his magical sword kicked his cave squig into action and the original goblin knights entered the ring to do battle once more.

The bray horn sounded and before the horn left the beastman’s lips the assassin’s throwing star slid cleanly into the throat of the cave squig. The squig stopped bouncing and fell to the ground and Gobbles leapt off before it toppled to its side dead.

“Scoundrel!” Sir Gobbles yelled out. “Do you know nothing of the ways of honorable combat? You are NOT allowed to attack your opponent’s steed!”

The assassin winked, “My utmost apologies. Let me make it up to you…”

Within a blink of an eye two more throwing star whizzed across the ring and with a double clang-thump their each cut through the goblin’s armor and sank into his chest.

Falling to his knees Sir Gobbles turned to his partner, stretched out his arm as if to ask for help, moved his lips, but the blood filling lungs gave up no noise and the goblin doubled over in a growing pool of blood.

“Aww great…” Aggis thought to himself. “Do I have to do everything myself?”

Kicking his own cave squig into action Aggis bounced his way into the ring, but he had barely entered the gate when a throwing star sank into his leg.

“Ahhh! Son of a…”

Looking up Aggis saw the ‘lizaedman’ coming towards him with two blades drawn and the goblin barely rolled off his squig before the assassin leaped over him, those blades missing him by mere inches.

Swiping out with his magical blade, Aggis even landed a quick jab that went through the lizardman costume and into the side of the assassin.

Both men recovered and faced each other, both respecting the other’s speed and treachery.

The assassin darted in once again and Aggis blocked one blow with his shield but the other blade caught him in the hip. The assassin might had finished the job too if it wasn’t for the bounding squig returning to defend its master, and so Scratch ‘n’ Sniff was forced to back flip away to avoid being eaten.

Aggis raised his magical sword and prepared to throw it at the assassin from behind the cover of the squig, but before he could a throwing star caught him in the arm, forcing him to drop the weapon.

He was badly wounded but the goblin still had one more trick left… grabbing a bag at his waist he through it at the assassin and in midair the bag exploded in a burst of blinding light and fire.

The explosion threw the assassin to the ground, with his blades landing several feet further, and before he could get back to his senses Aggis was on top of his holding a dagger to his throat.

“Before I kill you lets take off this stupid mask and show the world who you really are…” Aggis grabbed the costume from the top of Scratch ‘n’ Sniffs head and with a jerk ripped it away, leaving Aggis and everyone else in complete shock! For behind the mask wasn’t the skaven assassin like everyone expected… it was a goblin!!!

“Surprised aren’t you?” Scratch ‘n’ Sniff said with a wink.

“Um ya! So let me get this straight… you a goblin…”

“A goblin assassin.” The assassin corrected.

“Right, a goblin assassin, who was disguised as a skaven assassin, who was disguised as a lizardman?”

“Yup.”

There was a moment of silence and then finally Aggis moved the dagger away from the other goblin’s throat.

“Something tells me this is the beginning of a beautiful and dastardly friendship.” Aggis said with a wink.

“Want to go celebrate by giving a dead puppy to a blind kid?”

“Only if we kill the kid after…”

Both goblins burst out laughing and got up to exit the ring, leaving the beastmen to clean up Sir Gobbles’ corpse.


Aggis da Git and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff move on.

Sir Gobbles is eliminated.

Day 31:

Osiris (wight king)
vs
Aggis da Git and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff


It finally was time, time for the final fight of the tournament.

To get to this point the fighters had to overcome many hardships, beat the odds, and in many cases just be plain lucky.

The stands were packed and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation.

A cheer broke out as the horns began to blow and the fighters approached the ring. From one direction the new team of Aggis da Git, the underhanded goblin, and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff, the goblin assassin, and from the other side Osiris, the fallen high elve raised back from the dead, was surrounded by no less than eight irongut body guards!

Apparently someone feared for the wight king’s (un)life, but it worked as the hired ninjas hiding in the crowd simply put their daggers and balls of glass dust away rather than hopelessly throw away their lives for a bag of gold.

Osiris walked through the gate, drew out his magical white sword, and he waited patiently for the fight to begin.

His first opponent was the goblin assassin. No longer hiding behind costumes, Scratch ‘n’ Sniff was wearing a black gi and red head-band, and in either hand was one of his deadly blades.

The start of the battle was sounded by the bray horn and the arena got so loud with cheering that you couldn’t hear a war mammoth fart.

With a flick of the wrist a throwing star shot towards Osiris’s face, but the lightning face high elve deflected it with his white sword.

Unfortunately for him this is just what the goblin assassin wanted…

While his sword was raised to deflect the throwing star Scratch ‘n’ Sniff took the opportunity to jump forward and sink his twin blades into the wight king’s chest.

Osiris looked down at the assassin and prepared to strike him down with his magical sword, but before he could Scratch ‘n’ Sniff pulled back out his blades and used one to lop off Osiris’s sword hand and then thrust the other up and through Osiris’s jaw and into his undead brain.

The wight king shuttered and then crumbled to the floor.

Now the crowd had mixed feelings. On one side they were impressed by the show of skill by the assassin, but on the other hand they were pissed off that the ‘grand finale’ was over after all of 30 seconds!

Some boos started to mix in with the cheers but then everything went silent as someone from the crowd pushed their way into the ring.

It was Khazrak the One-eye, the most powerful Beastlord of Drakwald!

“Do I have to everything myself? Now way I’m going to let ‘champions’ such as yourselves leave so easily!”


Osiris is eliminated.

Aggis da Git and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff are the winners of the Doubles Tournament round 8.

Day 32: Boss Fight!

Aggis da Git and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff
Vs
Khazrak the One-eye


Aggis rushed into the ring, “Now wait a second Khazrak, we won this tournament fair and square.”

“Fair?” Huffed the beastlord. “You yourself are only here because of riding the backs of better fighters.”

“Hey now, are you yourself not known for your cunning?”

“So I am, but I also back it up with sword and whip!” Khazrak raised both weapons up and gave the barb studded whip a threatening crack just to make his point. “Enough talk, lets see if you are worthy!”

“If that’s what you want…” Aggis said with a wink. “Scratch! Now!!!”

From behind the legendary beastlord the goblin assassin, who had snuck his way there while they talked, thrust one of his blades into the back of Khazrak’s knee and the other into his right side.

Aggis moved in to finish him off but the beastlord was quicker and jab with his sword into the goblin’s chest. The blow could have been fatal but luckily for Aggis the sword hit the chest armor given to him by Sir Gobbles, saving his life.

The goblin’s magical dagger then drew in energy from the beastlords magical armor and whip and became so powerful that Aggis sent it easily through Khazrak’s black chainmail and into his heart.

The great beastlord struggled for a moment, raised up his whip for one last strike, but when the Scratch ‘n’ Sniff held back his arm while digging his blade in deeper Khazrak gave in and fell limply to the ground.

These two goblins were certainly a force to be reckoned with and everyone in the crowd cheered with their respect as several beastmen entered the ring to give them their rewards.


Prologue:

After the arena the two goblins stuck together and although many goblins, and orcs, flocked to them to encourage them into a mighty Waaagh! The arena champions turned them down each time.

Leading an army took too much work and both goblins found more joy wondering the country side and filling their days with evil deeds and mischief.

Many babies were killed…

Many puppies were killed…

Many virgins were given goblin fever…

And even the Emperor Karl Franz woke up one day to find a flaming bag of squig droppings beside his bed…

Unfortunately the last one got them in a bit of trouble as they became #1 on the Empire most wanted list over night.

Aggis da Git was even captured, found putting nails in chocolate bound for an orphanarium, and was rushed to a local jail so he could hang the following morning.

When the jailers opened the goblins cell at sun-rise they didn’t find Aggis, instead they found the town major tied in an ungentlemanly position around the town whore…

Would they ever return to the arena? Most likely not… but if you ever see someone in a lizardman costume with an overly devious looking goblin on a cave squig nearby then hide… and hide all those you hold dear…


Khazrak is defeated.

Aggis da Git and Scratch ‘n’ Sniff are the true champions of the arena!
