“Green Silence, fresh off a victory over a High Elf team, knew that playing the Broken Ribcages would be different. This orc team was known to be hard hitting, and a couple of their players had reputations for committing bad fouls. Still, the plan was in place - we have practiced catching the ball all week (throwing is still an issue) and we plan to take advantage of our speed.

The Flame took the ball, and entered the protective pocket of blockers, while two receivers looked to get open downfield. Excellent blocking bought an eternity of time, and a touchdown was duly scored. On the next drive, Brian Gutterface mishandled the ball, and the skinks raced into the backfield to capitalize. Despite failing twice to handle the bouncing ball, the Flame eventually got the handle and got the score.

The second half started with a blitz for Green Silence, but this backfired when Grumsh Headcrusher received a pass and blasted through a pair of skinks who tried to impede his progress. His touchdown brought the Ribcages back into the game 2-1. The Ribcages lined up in a central formation, leaving the sides of the field open. Green Silence quickly exploited this with a run up the side, and another touchdown for the Flame. Another late touchdown seale the game, 4-1 for Green Silence.”
