It’s time for the annual Blood Brawl Championship Game!! Asuwa’s bloodthirstiest sport culminates each year on the Thurvian Solar Eclipse, with the big game being held at Bonecrag Stadium, home of the defending Champion Bonecrag Bruisers! The much coveted Vincento Bombardo trophy-a massive golden chalice filled to the brim with Pelican Bay’s finest Mer-Mead money can buy! The Thurvian Eclipse always adds an element to the game that fans love!! With the first half being played under the blistering hot summer sun that cracks the playing surface with craters and crevices; A halftime entertainment show that always alights the crowd into a frenzied chaos; and the second half played in the ice cold, pitch black of the eclipse—-you never know what danger lurks in the darkness of Bonecrag Stadium! Crowds in the 1000’s descend every year from the regions of Corinon, Bef’Zuraak, Sterck, and beyond to witness the fireworks both on and off the field, as no game ever played on this field lacks for gruesome displays of competition and spine chilling displays of brutality! It wouldn’t even begin to be a classic Blood Brawl title match without drama or controversy surrounding the game however, and this year is no different from that aspect!! The dwarven airship carrying The Munin Maulers was enroute to Thurv when a massive explosion on board the airship sent the vessel crashing to the ground in a fiery explosion of death-there were no survivors. Now while we know that the airships are powered by the volatile alchemical agents contained in the Jumpstone, further investigation of the crash site has led many to believe that sabotage was involved. The Munin Maulers-a team entirely composed of mountain dwelling dwarves-you see, had just completed Blood Brawls first ever undefeated season, and seemed on an almost destined path to dismantle the Bruisers dynasty that has seen them win 4 consecutive Bombardo trophies…. But fear not friends!!! Rocky “Raccoon” Goodytwoshoes, commissioner of the BBL (Blood Brawl League), always has a “Plan B” to put into action…..
