Naralian tourney 1/4 finals 1st leg

A storm can be seen forming above Lavant. The civilians are running for cover away from the rain that they sense is about to hit them.15 Figures leave the Scrolls HQ. They are all wearing black cloaks bearing a crossed swords motif. A few of the figures seem to be in a trance as if somehow hypnotised. They are being lead by a tall female elf. The group continue to journey purposefully towards the arena somewhat detached from the anarchic scene that continues around them.

A darkness fills the sky and one of the group stops for a second and looks up towards the sky. "You alright Thaema?" Shouts a dwarf. The elf holds out her hand expecting rain to land upon it. With a snigger she turns to the dwarf and smirks "I think there's something brewing tonight boys" She pauses and an intensity as strong as the weather around her fills her face. "It is time to teach these bay boys a thing or two" The other members of the group can be heard sniggering at her comment. They reach the doors to the arena, draw their weapons and walk inside.

Thaema is standing within the arena surrounded by her comrades. The storm seems to calm down for a second. Directly opposite where she is stood a large gate slowly opens. Wamphyri walks out unsure ofwhat they will find. Thaema looks up and listens as if hearing the weather itself. "Yes my mistress, they shall be taught of natures fury" with that the two groups line up against each other. They are all working themselves into a fury for the battle ahead. The groups are about to commence the battle when thaema raises her hand and stops whispered dream in their tracks. She turns towards Shaitan and speaks aloud "You will remember this day. today is the day that everyone learns that nature is not to be underestimated" holding up her hand the storm bursts into life. An intense rain starts to fall and the wind picks up to an almost unbelievable speed. As if they were inside a tornado itself. the wind picks up the piles of sand that litter the arena and blows it towards wamphyri. In reflex the group shield their eyes. taking that as her cue Thaema orders whispered dream to charge.

VA 1698 -- The challenge was accepted; the crowd roared asWhispered Dreamand Wamphyri commenced battle.

The Idiotic One did away with Mortis 1-0 WD

One-eyed The Purple brought death to Karl The Krag 2-0 WD

The Nutcase did away with Shaitan the Unborn 3-0 WD

Groush Blackbeard killed Sparkx 3-1 WD

Deathwalker slew Raith Firestorm 3-2 WD

Dronan massacred Shaithis. 4-2 WD

The crowd saluted the victors, Whispered Dream.

Suddenly the storm dissipates and the arena is once again left in silence. Thaema approaches the body of Shaitan and salutes. "until next time honourable warrior"

Naralian Main Torney 2nd leg

The second leg result has arrived and.... well i'll let the fight speak for itself

the crowd roared as Dark Lady's Warriors and Whispered Dream commenced battle.

The Idiotic One mowed down Dwarven Sacrafice by hacking his arms off, then the legs. All that was left was a bloody torso. The mangled corpse lost its colour as the fight wore on.

1-0 to Whispered Dream

Thaema did away with Bone Cruncher. He gripped his heart and died trying to pull out the arrow. The stench of blood filled the air.

2-0 to Whispered Dream

Granack massacred Gomez The Grey. He staggered backwards, then fell dying, clutching the mighty gash in his chest. Those close to death clutched at the earth in a desperate fight to cling to life.

3-0 to Whispered Dream

Drian executed Dr Death. He died trying in vain to pick up his guts as they unravelled across the ground.

4-0 to Whispered Dream

One-eyed The Purple wasted Grotty Grottbags by driving the sword into her chest. Heart and lungs exploded in a spray of blood and bone.

5-0 to Whispered Dream

The crowd saluted the victors, Whispered Dream.

So there we have it. over the 2 legs whispered dream managed to win 2-0 with an aggregate score of 11-3. This is by far the greatest achievment for any of the Scrolls groups. Into the last 8 with a realistic chance of performing a few shocks.

Well Done Thaema

Naralian main tourney

It seems that Thaema has excelled herself this time. When the draw was announced i must say that i was worried for her self-esteem. She found herself drawn against one of Bloodyhonours finest groups, Dark Ladys Warriors. The same group that knocked Raven out in an earlier round. After a long wait the result for the first leg finally came in.

VA 1055 -- The challenge was accepted; the crowd roared as Whispered Dream and Dark Lady's Warriors commenced battle. We let out a shout, "May the knowledge quide you!". When we got nearer, we took a careful look at them. We counted their members: 5 dwarf fighters, 2 dwarf priests, 2 human fighters, 2 elf mages and 4 halfblood fighters. There was one lightly wounded. They are dressed in all black! Due to their Black hoods all you can see is the white of their eyes! There is also a strong sickening smell of decay. Painted on their shields is a zombie walking, leaving behind a trail of decaying flesh. They carry the alliance standard of Bloodyhonour(115). They shouted at us, "We are the Minions of Ythcal! And you are our next Sacrafice!".

The Idiotic One killed Dr Death. He died trying in vain to pick up his guts as they unravelled across the ground. Temporarily forgotten the corpse became nothing more than an obstacle.

1-0 to Whispered Dream

Skin Slasher butchered Dilan Fleece. He left a trail of blood as his attempted to crawl away from the battle before dying. Entrails tangled round feet as the dead were trampled.

1-1

Zeus Darkwarrior dispatched Horace Spellweaver by hacking his arms off, then the legs. All that was left was a bloody torso. Screams for water from the dying went ignored as the battle continued.

2-1 to Dark Ladys Warriors

Dronan mowed down Head Case by crushing his head with the spiked chains.

2-2

One-eyed The Purple executed Ballax The Bastard by chopping his head off with a savage blow.

3-2 to Whispered Dream

Deadman Walking slew Raith Firestorm by slicing his head down the centre like a ripe water melon. The fleshy chunks were then trod into the ground.

3-3

Granack killed Bone Cruncher by driving his ribs into the heart. Blood fountained in a crimson spray.

4-3 to Whispered Dream

Drian dispatched Deadman Walking. He fell over backwards as the point entered his groin and and was driven upwards through the chest to exit at the shoulder.

5-3 to Whispered Dream

Dronan annihilated Bitch Witch. She was knocked to the ground, thrashing as her life blood trickled away. Fear swept though the battle forcing those of poor valour to turn tail.

6-3 to Whispered Dream

The crowd saluted the victors, Whispered Dream.

So after the first leg Thaema led Whispered Dream to what is their biggest victory in the tournament so far. We are not jumping to the conclusion this is over however as they still have the second leg to come. neverthe less i can't help but shout....

COME ON THAEMA

Envoy

It seems a plague may or may not have hit Athabaska. I have decided to send an envoy there to find out how bad the damage is.

Draguul of the Union Of Shadows has kindly offered his assistance as a bodyguard. This is something i did not expect. Perhaps people do respect us after all.......

As soon as the mission is complete i will post on here what was uncovered.

Under 80 Semi final draw

Well, the draw for the semi-finals of the under 80 turns groups has been announced. Having won their league Ravens Army get to face the runners up in the other group. So the Draw looks as follows:-

Ravens Army vs Dwarven Riot Act
Wolves of Darkness vs Painful Obscurity

The alliance is happy with Ravens Army's progress so far, fingers crossed that this isn't the end. As soon as all the league matches have been completed i will post them here.

Under 80 turns tournament

The league stage is drawing to a close with the last battle happening in the next few days. I can announce that the Scrolls Nomination has won their league. Ravens army managed to scrape a 4-3 win against Painful obscurity. This was after being 4-1 up after the first leg. One thing i learnt from this battle is that Dwarves and Plate mail do not mix. Perhaps it will be best to downgrade to chain mail for the rest of the tournament. We do not know who we will be facing in the Semi-Finals but rest assured i will let you all know when i do.

Welcome
