Trippy Tree Tuggers
P [L] Wood Elf

A peaceful, fun loving group, whose parents loved them to an appropriate degree that they do not desire to crush and squash other living creatures.

They hope that other teams will feel the same way...

The T.T.T. have finished their first tournament, and despite a gouged eye have emerged miraculously unharmed and first! Claims of sorcery abound, but the Wood Elves calmly pointed there were walking corpses taking part in the league. The issue was dropped, but several beady eyes of vengeance fix themselves on the Trippy Tree Tuggers.

The T.T.T.'s second season of the Ash Cup was one of super skills and extreme pain. After a solid 3 -1 victory against returning Elf Team Diode Dodgers, the T.T.T. went on to have their best game ever against fan favourites Rakshar's Rotters! with a 5 - 0 victory. The injuries were light and it seemed Azura was bound for the Hall of Fame. A dark cloud settled over the T.T.T.'s success in the form of Gruumsh's Gougers. The Orc Team seemed to be able to do no wrong, causing uncountable KOs, multiple minor injuries, several serious injuries, and a death. Against such a physical onslaught the T.T.T. buckled, Thrower Butterfly failing a key GFI roll and leaving the T.T.T. suffering the effects of their first defeat.

In their concluding game of the Ash Cup II linesman # 13 Meadow was killed. Meadow made up one of the infamous "Line of Three", who had appeared blessed until now, several members having been elevated to better positions, and none suffering injuries. Unfortunately Nuffle was angered at these cocky Wood Elves, killing the most recent addition to the T.T.T. (while also spraining the groin of other new player Lenzee)

After the bitter taste of their final game Ash Cup II, the T.T.T. have joined the Phoenix Cup I, a collection of elite teams which will test their skill levels to the maximum. Despite the team being in a dark place at the moment, they hope to rise to the heights they previously enjoyed.

T.T.T. played their first game against another elf team in the Phoenix Cup I, this time against old foes the Diode Dodger's. The game was a mix of appalling bad luck for both sides, though thanks to some amazing play from Kukka, Natura, and as always Aurza, the T.T.T. pulled through victorious. A special mention must go to the crowd, who generously pummelled the Pro Elf Blitzer's with rocks, pebbles and boulders; keeping their effectiveness down.

After the T.T.T.s first game against a Norse squad, these by the name of Asgard Arrows, they realised when they finished the game with only 8 elves on the pitch, reinforcements were needed. Azura called up his younger brother, Orian, and the young elf is eager to prove his war dancing skills.

After hearing about the planning destruction of their gaming league, the T.T.T. abandoned their outdated league and headed off to find an opposition to make an interesting last game. They discovered the Gunpowder Lads. A relatively bloodless affair, with the Dwarves putting up a valiant fight to make the final ever T.T.T. score 3-1 to the hard working Wood Elves.

Tragedy struck the T.T.T. as long time player Iris was killed by Gunpowder Lad longbeard Durin. Brutally hacked down in the sweltering heat of a 2-1 led game by the T.T.T.. At the end of this epic struggle, a fumbled pass cost the Gunpowder Lads the game. It ended 2 -1 to the T.T.T, but the cost was great. Iris' soul was absorbed by a nearby tree, and from that was borne Peaceful, the new treeman in the squad. Daydream also suffered with a broken jaw, as well as costless badly hurt and knocked out players. The whole squad breathed a sigh of relief when the whistle went. The score had not been as good as the previous match, and the injuries were starting to increase...

The series against the Gunpowder Lads ended in a 2-0 victory for the T.T.T. The final game was a bloodthirsty affair for both sides, T.T.T. linesman Lenzee missing the next game due to a groin injury while Gunpowder Lad Trollslayer Grunding picked up a smashed hand crippling his Blood Bowl career. By the end of the match the T.T.T. bench was bursting with KO'd players, including both Azura and Butterfly whose age seemed to finally catching up with them. At the conclusion of the game there were only five of the original 12 (discounting Daydream who was missing the game due to a broken jaw) T.T.T. left on the pitch. But they managed to hold off the Gunpowder Lads from scoring to secure a solid victory. The match was a great first outing for Treeman Peaceful who pummelled the opposing Trollslayer, for linesman Cloud who secured 5 SPP to increase his speed, and for dependable linesman Garcia who is now a "super-elf".

After a series of matches against slow, brutal Dwarves, T.T.T. had a change of pace and played old rivals the Pro Elf team Diode Dodgers. This was the third time these teams had met, with the previous two encounters ending in victory for the T.T.T. This third meeting was truly a clash of skilled elves, the score line telling the tale well. The game opened with a score from D.D. Blitzer Faeldium. In the return play Butterfly fumbled a pick up roll allowing the Pro Elves to swarm toward him, with linesman Cratose nipping skilfully in to break T.T.T. receive and make the score 2-0. Once again T.T.T. were kicked to, this time they were able to pick up the ball with success and it was dependable linesman Honey who sped into the Pro Elf endzone to secure the first touchdown for T.T.T. The next play saw Pro Elf Catcher Caelth dodge daringly through several tackle zones to add another point to the D.D. score line, making the total 3-1. However before half time, while being supported by both Wardancers, rising star linesman Cloud used his superior speed to put T.T.T. back in the race with an easy touchdown. At the opening of the second half T.T.T. were receiving the kick and this led once again to near disaster. Pro Elf Catcher Calinar zoomed toward the fumble-prone Butterfly and successfully tripped him when the Wood Elf tried to dodge away. A mere two squares away from the endzone, Jazzerus tried in vein to prevent Calinar dodging to scoop up the ball and score, but then whatever dark god had smote Butterfly caused similar pain to Calinar who failed to pick up the ball! After Jazzerus smashed the Pro Elf into the badly hurt box, "super-elf" Garcia was able to sprint with all his pace to push the score up to 3-3 with five turns of the second half remaining. A spirited Wood Elf defence held the Pro Elves at bay for a few turns, but with only two turns remaining linesman Hserah strolled across the line to make the score 4-3 to the D.D. With only two turns remaining, D.D. used a very unorthodox defence of a long line deep into their half, hoping to delay the Wood Elves just long enough. After some gutsy clearance by Garcia and Orian, Cloud was to sprint forward and score his second touchdown on the final turn of the game, for a final score of 4-4.

The first major retirement for the T.T.T. occurred with Butterfly hanging up his gloves and joining the coaching staff. After a glorious career of 13 games (never missed a single performance), 28 completed passes, a single touchdown in the early days of the T.T.T., and an MVP he has a legacy that will be remembered. With only 12 players now remaining, it is hoped that his cousin Quinn, also a thrower, will be joining the T.T.T. after their next game.

As Butterfly left, the Diode Dodgers stepped back into the arena for a rematch. When the Pro Elves lost key players Faeldium, Parhef and Calinar early in the game, it left them with fewer tactical choices than in their last encounter with the T.T.T. Similarly the Wood Elves, lacking their Thrower, were restricted. The score line was a far more modest 2-0 to the T.T.T., despite a piece of terrifyingly skilful play in the final turn by Pro Elf Blitzer Largic, who dodged out of a terrifying number of tackle zones, blocked two Wood Elves at the same time, and stood in the endzone awaiting an easy pass. Alas it never came, as the Pro Elf Thrower Logor tumbled to the ground while going for it. The game heralded the arrival of new Thrower Quinn to replace Butterfly. It has been suspected that another Wood Elf player is vying for a place in the squad, going by the name of Rainbow.

The second major retirement for the T.T.T took place as Azura left the team, shortly after Butterfly. Azura had played in all 14 games played by the Trippy Tree Tuggers, achieving some amount of SPP in 12 of those 14 appearances. It was only old age which robbed him of further glory, after amassing a staggering total of 5 casualties (the highest in the squad), 15 touchdowns, 2 Most Valuable Player awards, for a grand total of 65 SPP in total. In addition he showed his strength with a total of 89 blocks, by far the most active blocker in the squad (followed by Garcia with 54, at the time of Azura's retirement). Azura was truly a dancer of war (and Bloodbowl).
