...The Dwarf, Skaven, and City Elf had their conversation interrupted when a Human entered the room. Perhaps more notably, he dragged in behind him a beaten and naked man in a rubber mask! An uncomfortable moment of silence passed across the group, as the newcomer looked around and seemed very pleased, ignoring the various looks of disgust, dismay, and vague disinterest from the various parties.

"Nice to have you all here. Shall we begin?". Without waiting for answers, he passed some papers out to the others. "As you can see from these numbers, a joint tournament series would be beneficial to all of our leagues."

"Skrrrrrk! We know the numbers, but what is in it for us?" the Skaven asked. "Excuse me?". The Skaven smiled, "Let me frame my question differently. Don't you think that an organization like B.B.A.T.T.L. needs a board responsible for supervising the tournaments? A well paid board of course, as they are really important. Skrrrrrk!"

He passed his own papers around. "I made my own calculations. As you can see, there will still be enough money for the leagues."

The Dwarf, Elf, and Human studied the last papers. The Elf quietly breathed an incantation over the papers laid out before her and smiled as their meaning and depth unfolded before her elven eyes. Meanwhile, the Dwarf rolled his thick-browed eyes at the elf with a muttered "Hrumph," and actually read the written words, already scribbling some numbers on his own paper, furiously calculating his organization's share.

After some minutes the men and the lady looked at each other and nodded approvingly. "Looks like we have a deal," the Human said.

"Aye."

"Skrrrrk."

"Then we're agreed."

A new era has begun for The Order of Magic.
News of the disappearance of the head wizard of Gold College - reigning Supreme Patriarch
Balthazar Gelt, has sent a wave of panic across the city. The ensuing fallout has lead to the
overnight collapse of a highly uneasy alliance between the Empire's rival Colleges of Magic.

To avoid the prospect of all-out war & appease all concerned crisis meetings among the
remaining head wizards has resulted in mutual reassurance by all in the agreement to a
time honoured tradition to name a successor, a Dungeonbowl tournament!

The College of the victorious team will be declaired the new Master of Magic & recieve
the Staff of Volans with which to rule as the dominant college for the duration of
their newly elected term. The victorious team will be cast with a revitalising spell
to assist in recovery from injury & a generous purse of gold coins.
They will also be bestowed the humbling honour of being 'Guardians of the Staff'
& will take personal responsibility on behalf of their college for its safe keeping.

BBATTL have been approached to stage this grand event & all BBATTL member coaches
versed in the dark art of Dungeonbowl are invited to compete!


The tournament will be for all colleges, for new teams only & will be played out
through scheduled weekly matches here on the BBATTL forum.
Further details of the exact tournament structure will be announced once the
number of competitors has been assessed.
