Saphery Snake-Eyes
Retired [X] High Elf

The High Mages of Saphery sat and watched through the crystal ball as another High Elf team where mercilessly pumpelled into the ground .

"hurumph" said the eldest of them .
"hurumph" agreed another one .
"meh" said the youngest of the mages , to which the first two brothers looked at him suspisciously .
"hurumph" mumbled the youngest one , looking sheepishly at his robes.
The eldest nodded sagely and returned his gaze to the crystal ball. Just as a big orc with pitch black skin slammed his meaty fist into the face of a once handsome lineelf . The elf crumpled and before his body had time to satisfactorily smack onto the floor , two goblins in hobnail boots where busy kicking the now rather brutally ugly lineelf in his once pretty face .
"hurumph" said the eldest of them .
"hurumph" agreed another one .
"meh" said the youngest of the mages , to which the other mages looked at him suspisciously ,again.
The youngster looked down at his robes , but refused to take back what he had said , he meant it this time , he wouldnt be cowled.

The elder turned on him .....

"Do you have something to say young man "the elders eyes narrowed into little burrowing mole eyes , a trick he licked to use when he was especially displeased .
"Umm , no sir , I mean ...... yes sir ........its... just......." he was talking with a lot of dots , which was meant to imply that he was nervous and unsure exactly how he wanted to say what he had to say .
"its just that ... well they arent very .......very good are they Sir" he used a little less dots this time , he wasn't any less nervous , he just wanted to blurt it out quickly as those little mole eyes where making him rather uncomfortable.
By now everyone but the mad mage and the smelly mage had stopped watching the game and started watching the confrontation.

"Oh really " his little mole eyes where becoming even smaller and mole like as they burrowed into the young mages soul . "Well yes i suppose your right , they are pretty terrible arent they " The young mage looked at the Elder slightly taken a back as the Elders eyes returned to their normal elvenly shape .
"umm... dont suppose you have any ideas what we could do?" the elder was using the dots now , just to emphasise the umm though nothing to do with nerves in this case.

By now even the smelly mage had stopped watching the game and was looking at the youngster , wondering what pearls of wisdom the youth could come up with .

"Well......." the young mage was stalling for time , he didnt really have an idea , he looked above his head for a lightbulb to appear and inspire him , somewhere in the deep recess of his mind a plan formed , nearer the surface his mind was furiouly trying to figureout what a lightbulb was and how that could possibly help him .
"..." he added a few dots as he'd been thinking forwhat seemed like a long time .
Then it struck him , struck him harder than his mother had the first time she had found him wearing her favourite dress , she'd never believed that he was pretending he was a mage , "mages dont wear stillettos and their robes of ceremony aren't strappy backless little black numbers designed exclusively by Fabarachi " she had screamed . Well he'd shown her , he was now a mage , a powerful mage in the Circle of Eldritch .
"...."damn , must focus ....
"SPEAK BOY" the elder was growing impatient and had started speaking in block capitals , fortunatly the youngster had managed to cram his wandering mind back inside his head ,by chance the thought he was trying to grasp earlier , the "really good" one was right on top .
"We could ..make our own team"

There was a stunned silence as the idea rippled across the room , and then it began , possibly it was the Mad mage who started the laughing , but pretty soon all of the mages where at it . Before long they where all slapping each other on the back and rolling around the floor in a manner not uncommon to hysterical 5 year olds but rather less common in the halls of the Eldritch Circle .
In fact only three times in written history had it occured before , and the most recent involved a young mage wearing stilletoes and a strappy backless little black numbers designed exclusively by Fabarachi instead of the traditional ceremonial robes for his induction.

Eventually everyone but the mad mage had stopped laughing , by council decree it was decided to continue with the conversation and ignore the mad mage as it was unlikely he would stop laughing before Dislmaralli , had been reborn in all her glory .

"So "said the elder" you think we could become a great team of bloodbowl players" , he smirked , the side of his lips curled slowly up , it looked quite possible that he would begin laughing again, and that could quite possibly trigger the third great roll-a-round-the floor-laughing episode since the young mage had joined the Hall ....the youngster though had other ideas.

"No not make a team , Make A Team " he used a big M to signify the second M was more important , and chucked in a big A and T as well.

"Make a Team...Using Magic..." He decided that he could use the dots for emphasis here , clearly highlighting that the Author was running out of ways to express himself without using dots ....
"You see rather than us playing we could just , you know magic us up some players , then they couldn't get hurt and could do all sorts of magical stuff when they where playing "

"Wouldn't that be against the rules "said the beardy mage in the corner , who nobody had really been taking notice off up til now it was as if he'd only just been made up out of thin air to bring this rather dubious point of order up .

The elder mage , who quite liked the idea of making himself his own personal magic elf who he could control and make do whatever he wanted .....like play bloodbowl . Had the answer for the beardy mages question..

"Im pretty sure , that its only against the rules if we get caught"

"Right all of you , get to work making me some magical bloodbowl players"

"One last thing , you there " he said pointing at the fat mage with the thick milkbottle spectacles "we need a name for the team " he stared at the obese mage using his little mole eyes ..." Come on , chop chop we need a name , first thing that comes to your mind will do .
"Banana Sundae?" the plump mage tried .
"Okay okay " the elder mage scanned the room looking for someone a little brighter , but everyone had already departed to start work on their creation "Now listen very carefully " his beady little mole eyes where staring straight through the thick milkbottle spectacles " You have one more chance to make a name for yourself here , Im not going to name our new bloodbowl team after a fruit and icecream based desert , even if it is a particularly tasty follow-on to a large full Roasted Lamb and potato dish "
The fat mage with the thick milkbottle spectacles , glanced nervously round the room and his eyes settled on a map of the local region .Inspiration struck him " Saphery...."he looked back at the elder mage and inspiration struck him again "Moleeyes ?!" he hoped it was good enough , he didnt know how much more of a beating he could take from inspiration .

"Saphery Mole-Eyes" umm pondered the elder mage and looked the fat mage with the thick milkbottle spectacles up and down , the fat mage with the thick milkbottle spectacles cringed away , he really didnt want another beating from inspiration , his ego was already badly bruised.
"That'll do , That WIll DO !"

"Umm Elder " it was the youngst mage , poking his head back through the door ,
"Yes ?" The elder mage was a little startled , he hadnt been expecting the young mage to be using a phase spell to poke his head through the door .
"Dont you think we should have something a little snappier "
"what like a crocodile ?" asked the fat mage with the thick milkbottle spectacles ....
"Yeah Maybe" the young mage was flumoxed , if flumoxed was even a word ..."but I was thinking maybe Saphery SnakeEyes"

Mages only have enough Mojo to sustain one elf at a time ,as such you can only have one player in the team at the same time .

Umm if you play aginst this team ill be writting my match report as the game progresses , so it may be a bit erratic (the game report that is )
