Excerpt From The Sartosa Sports Sage:

Grog-Swillers are Swilling Again!

Avast, mateys! Rumours that the Grog-Swillers will hang up their swashbuckling days and will once again return to the gridiron seem to have been true all along: after an unfortunate accident where their ship sank just outside of port (who would have thought that a pirate ship entirely crewed by Ogres would sink so easily!), the Grog-Swillers have decided that their future resides within the tumultous orgy of violence and sport that we know as Blood Bowl. And luckily enough, the Sage was able to have an exclusive interview with their former-Captain-now-Coach, Coachem Badleh!

So, Coach Coachem, when was it that you decided that the Grog-Swillers would be picking up the pigskin once again?

When boat sank, water touching feet. Decided we not cut out for pirating, me decided that punching people better.

I think that there are many fans in Sartosa that will be glad to see you in the Sartosa Stadium, what do you have to say to them?

Ogre fans very loud, me like when they scream after me players smash a skellie, or kick halfling into stands. Me want them to keep shouting, and also drink more Captain Mogren Special Brew, that sponsor me team. Drink Mogren!

Everyone is wondering, considering the previous track record of-

YOU SAYING WE BAD TRACK RECORD?!

Well, your team didn't manage to win-

Grog-Swillers crunched more than other teams! That track record enough! What means winning if opponents can't walk no more?

Okay, okay, I get it. What I was trying to ask is, how did you manage to get the Grog-Swillers to join such a prestigious league such as the DBL?

Me went to commisioner and said: "If you no allow Grog-Swillers to join, me remove all your teeth, one by one". He then allowed Grog-Swillers in.

An interesting way to join a league, to say the least. In terms of your players, what criteria did you use to pick your Ogre players for this season?

I picked Ogre that could swim, because most Ogre in me crew drowned, so only left were the ones that got to shore.

Ah, I see. And what about the Gnoblars, did they go through a selection process?

Me got Kickem, me punter, to kick Gnoblars. Gnoblars that survived were picked for team. They be the strong Gnoblars.

If you don't mind revealing some secrets, what techniques and tactics will the Grog-Swillers use during the season?

Me tell Ogre to pick up ball, then run to end of pitch.

What if opponents get in the way?

Ogre run through opponent.

And what if a Gnoblar picks up the ball instead?

Me tell Kickem to kick Gnoblar to other side of pitch, hope that little guy survive. If survive, me trained Gnoblars to run towards end of pitch.

Couldn't there be a situation where the Gnoblar runs to the wrong end, though?

In that case, me told all Ogres to pick up Gnoblar and throw them to right end.

And what about during defence?

Me tell team to punch opponents until they no move no more. And if down, Gnoblars get the boot in and hurt them some more.

I think the other teams in the league will be hard-pressed to contend with these brilliant tactics. Certainly everyone here in Sartosa will be cheering you on. Any last words?

Drink Captain Mogren so that me get sponsorship money.

Thanks Coachem, and good luck!

Excerpt from the SSS: Papa Pow @ Sartosa Grog-Swillers

Start of the Season: Papa Pow Face The Grog-Swillers at Landlubbers Stadium (Sponsored By Captain Mogren) Written by Armando Blackquill Avast mateys and welcome to the first of many fixtures within the Sartosa Sports Sage, where we will be charting the journey of our home-town ne'er-do-wells, the Sartosa Grog-Swillers, as they go through the troubled waters of the Dragon Bowl League. Having been drafted within the Exiles Conference, as well befits their piratey-nature, their first fixture was poised to be against Papa Pow, a team full of nurgle worshippers, with a want for blood and mayhem only matched by the incredible, fetid odour that their team (and fans!) produce. Papa Pow: Analysis With a name inspired by their dear father, Papa Pow hail from a swamp near the chaos wastelands of the north, and their fame (and stink) follows them where-ever they go. The players themselves have a fishy nature to them, although all come with a variety of bizarre mutations to boot! With their nau...

Excerpt from the SSS: Sartosa Grog-Swillers @ Bad Moonz

  Match 2: The Grog-Swillers Visit the Bad Moonz at Split-Grin Stadium Written by Armando Blackquill Avast mateys! This week, our group of loveable boneheads made their way to Split-Grin Stadium in order to face the Bad Moonz, one of the flashiest teams around. It was destined to be a real melee of a match, with both teams having some heavy hitters on their line up: with none of the Ogres (or for that matter, the Gnoblars) worse for wear after their bout against the Nurgle team Papa Pow (although even the relatively unhygienic Ogres had to have a shower to get the stench off them after that match), there was a lot of hope amongst the Sartosa die-hards that the Grog-Swillers would bounce back after their loss. Bad Moonz: Analysis The Bad Moonz are a relatively new team, much like the Grog-Swillers, but it's clear that they have gone all-out in kitting their players. There are rumours that their owners have a veritable horde of teefs (as the Orc like to call their currency), and it r...
