“A strange game, Nuffle was not with us. Right away we noticed Drattosi, with a huge claw on his right hand, and vampiric canines glistening. He was marked all game, and knocked over whenever possible. Sadly, today was not a day for blocking. Highlights:
First Half:
Mummy Carl Schlecter knocks both himself and Troll Thunderwyrm out with one colossal headbutt. Both would return to the game later.
Mikhail Tal forms a chorus line with his fellow ghouls and recovers the ball.
Tar Baby knocks out Tal at the three pace line, forcing a critical fumble.
Mummy Emmanuel Lasker goes for it to blitz Beastman Scrag, fails the go for it, rerolls, and then double skulls the block, stunning himself.
Mikhail Tchigorin slips while going for it to provide an assist, ensuring a safe run for Tar Baby.
Second Half Highlights:
None.
Really.
None at all.
Well, maybe a couple.
Mikhail Tchigorin again slipped while going for it to cut off the path for a touchdown. Touchdown Gorehound.
Tal escapes from a crumbling pocket and rushes for a consolation touchdown. Excellent dodging and going for it.
“Khorn smiled on us this day - though our champion Drattosi kept the mummies busy - Undead bones were shattered by our up and coming murder junkie - Vorus.
Thunderwyrm inflicted his first casualty as Frank Marshal managed to show all the boys and girls at home exactly how not to block a 9' tall Troll.
Good match - execellent coaching.”
