Jim: Welcome, sports fans, to another exclusive report from Alyssa, our elven pitchside pundit!
Bob: I’m excited for this one, Jim.
Jim: Yes, I can tell, Bob. Let’s just say that I can smell your excitement in the air…
Bob: Well, nothing unsettles the stomach quite like a McMurty’s burger!
Alyssa: Despite never taking to the pitch in life, Gretchen knew the game only too well, such was her late husband’s obsession with the sport. But to the astute Necromancer Dirk the Abhorrent, The Blood Bowl Widow’s bitterness and resentment of the game were the exact qualities he was looking for. So shortly after shuffling off her mortal coil, Gretchen Wächter’s wrathful spirit made her Blood Bowl debut.
Despite – or even because of – her ghostly form, The Blood Bowl Widow proved to be a revelation on the pitch. Her mournful wails and hateful stares chilled her opponents to their core, and they couldn’t lay a finger on her in return. Since then, Gretchen has become feared by players but loved by Blood Bowl fans the world over.
Gretchen certainly doesn’t play ball. Her expertise lies in terrifying the opposition, shadowing the ball player’s every move, and using her Incorporeal form to effortlessly slip through even the tightest cage to get at them.
If you’re a budding Sylvanian Spotlight coach and are looking to wield terror as a weapon to thwart and terrorise your opponent’s plays, tap up your sponsors for 260,000 GPs and unleash The Blood Bowl Widow upon them!
Back to you in the commentary box.
Bob: That’s some spooky stuff, though she’d never have put me off back when I was playing – I’ve got an iron constitution.
Jim: Well, judging by the smell still lingering in the air, you need to take an ‘iron constitutional’, Bob…
