Blood Bowl

**Blood Bowl** was a CotLI event running from 2016 January 27th to February 9th. In 2017 it was renamed to **Carnage Cup** and started January 26th running until February 7th.

# Event Description

It's that time of year for picking up the ol' pigskin, smashing into a group of men geared up in armour to spike the said pigskin into the end zone in celebration.

As the single biggest sports fan of the group, Jim the Lumberjack is beside himself with excitement for the major sports event in the Crusader calendar: The Blood Bowl.

Rounding up the fellow Crusaders he decides to throw a tailgate party ahead of the big game. Unfortunately for Jim, it all goes wrong very quickly and soon the Crusaders have to destroy swathes of monsters before he and team can enjoy the sporting festivities.

# New Crusaders

Packing together in the new football formation, the Crusaders have a chance to add two new characters to their ranks.

## Groklok the Orc

Groklok the Orc is a beast of a linebacker who's abilities include increasing the DPS of Crusaders in front of him by 150% among other abilities.

## Drizzle the Dark Elf

Drizzle the Dark Elf is the nimble, tricky running-back. Drizzle enjoys a unique partnership with Groklok. Just like the best players, they can combine in various ways to maximize their tactics.

Playing Drizzle in front of Groklok will buff his formation ability by 100%. If Drizzle and Groklok play alongside each other, the combined skills buff Groklok's DPS by 400%. When Groklok is blocking and tackling in any column in front of Drizzle, Groklok's line gets a health buff and takes less damage.

# Objectives

There are five objectives for this event, six if you count Free Play. Like in previous events, instead of getting Red Rubies for completing an objective you receive either a new crusader, in the case of the first two objectives, or a Blood Bowl Chest. Blood Bowl Chest contain gear for the two new crusaders, Groklok the Orc and Drizzle the Dark Elf. Gear for the two Blood Bowl Crusaders can only be found in Blood Bowl Chests.
