![]() I coached from Newport to Heathrow, flew from Heathrow to Zurich, and then got the bus from Zurich to Dornbirn. Granted each leg took a good 2-3 hours, plus faffing around time, but it wasn’t actually too bad. A bus to the airport, a plane to the bus, a bus to the venue. The travel was, in my opinion, fairly straight forward. I sold all of my warhammer, took on some painting commissions, saved up all my pennies, and before I knew it was waiting for my 06:30 bus to shepherd me away to some full on, hardcore nerding. I wasn’t able to attend the third NAF World Cup in Luca sadly, so I was determined to make it to make it to Dornbirn. LOTS of blood bowlers, lots of fun, much insanity. If you are in the very small venn diagram of knowing and caring about the Blood Bowl tournament scene but not knowing about the World Cup, it’s basically an enormous 1400-player 6-coach-team event. The fight ended with Flik killing the savage, and with his dying breath, the DM describes the half-orc with a puzzled look on his face, as he collapes, he say's ".m'osh?"Īfter that fight, I looked up the orcish word for 'slayer' or 'killer' on some website, and came up with "Vrasu" And thereafter while in the orclands, Flik dubbed himself "M'osh Vrasu", the "Banana Slayer".If you’re reading this I assume you at least know vaguely what the Blood Bowl World Cup is all about, so I won’t bore you with the details. So I am yelling at the orc, "Banana! Banana banana banana! BAAAANAAAANAAAA!!" While making vulgar body-language motions to go along with what I think I'm actually saying."Įveryone: *5 minutes of uncontrollable laughter and various pantomines*ĭM: "Okay, so this happens, your Taunt effect fails, but the half-orc is so dumbstruck at this completely ridiculous and unexpected display, you have actually Stunned him for this round."ĭM: *thinks for a minute* "Ummm it's M'osh. First thing that just popped into my head. You end up just saying one random word, over and over. The table just stared at it for a few seconds, and then the conversation went something like this:ĭM: "Okay, you believe you rattled off your string of insults correctly, but you don't. Something along the lines of 'how the orc's father must like to do it with elves, and this and that'. So, what else was there to do when the savage tried to run me through? I used the Taunt, and told the group I was going to hurl my new-found knowledge of orcish profanity in his face. ![]() I had also recently taken the feat "Taunt" with him. Just before that scene, I had Flik ask around to learn all the curse words, insults, and otherwise derogatory terms he could. ![]() In one such case, a half-orc native "challenged" him to a duel- IE, tried to murder him for his stuff. I declared my intention to the DM, that at the next level up I was going to spend a skill point to learn the language, and during the entire time we were in the region I role-played him practicing and trying to pick up Orcish- including making horribly-awesome mistakes as he got the hang of it. While there, Flik's insatiable curiosity about everything led him to want to learn the Orcish language. The party had traveled to a distant region of the continent populated by half-orc barbarian tribes. One thing he loves to do after any sort of adventure, big or small, is grant himself titles based on what happened. A halfing rogue, and being a fan of the Dragonlance series, I decided to base his personality I on a typical 'kender' mentality. I've played a lot of characters across many campaigns and several different games, but little Flik has been my favorite character I've ever played. Just realized I should post this one too, in case I change my signature:įlik Farstrider "Guildmaster of the Azure Avengers, Freedom Fighter of Gelinde, Emissary of Mithlonde, Citedal Poker Champion, Blood Fang Spelunker Extraordinare, M'osh Vrasu, Liberator of Gnomes, Attorney-At-Law, Hobbyist Mapmaker, Marble Connoisseur, and Sommelier of All Fine Leaf"
