“The Vandir Vandals have led a charmed Blood Bowl career - until today! Without any permanent injuries or deaths, the team skyrocketed in rating and the roster was full of healthy young Norseman (and a Minotaur).

But today, like a chill wind from the bowels of the Earth, the Ministers of Death trod upon the Vandals like a treeman stepping in a pile of halfling droppings.

Right off the bat, the Norsemen jumped around like the lucky people the usually are, but the Ministers pounded (and bit with their fangs and scratched with their claws (and even fouled right in front of the ref (who throw the dirty player out)) and quickly only seven Norse were standing. All their heroic (and heroic it was) efforts could do was slow the inexorable advance of the Chaos.

By the end of the first half, the Vandals had five casualties. Then, the Ministers' chaotic fans invaded the pitch and caused three or four more casualties! The half ended in disgrace for the beaten Norse.

But they had to continue to play - no conceding today. And they proceeded to get further bruised. A total of ten casualties (with one successful apothecary treatment) were caused, including the pitch invasion. The Vandals were amazing in their dodges, their blocks against stronger opponents, and their sprinting - but the armor they wore was as useful as a winter coat in a volcano.

The Vandals are wary of chaos teams now - they have suffered their first death and their first permanent injury. It will take some time to deal with all these issues. Therapists have been hired.”
