Dwarves... A hard team to play against knowing you'll get beaten (most of the time anyway), and it turned out to be like that in this game. After a clumsy start 'Glaurung's...' got the ball on the ground and put pressure; placing a lot of players around the ball. This saw to a lot of blocking, and of course, KO's and a few CAS but the human catcher Cabera got a very good chance to score, having to pick up the ball and simply walk down to the end zone. But did he do that? Bugger did he! He fumbled (AG4) and the coach yelled to him to show some character or else... and a RR later he fumbled again (double 1!)...
Again, the dwarves put pressure on the ball with less humans this time, but Cabera got hold of the ball nontheless and tried to run to the end zone. Having to make two go for its - did he manage to score? Bugger again, did he! He tripped on his left leg ON THE LINE... ... The ball scattered into the crowd who threw it away, far away from the dwarves. Lucky for 'Lethal...'. No dwarves around Cabera could pick himself up, run to the ball, pick it up and this time had time to score. What did King Of Pain (their coach) tell him? To stall! And of course a crazy runner made a beautiful, perfect run (+4 and +3 dodge(s) and 2 go for its) to cover him. Luckily there was a lineman nearby who could blitz him, but did he push him? No! He ran on the armour of his opponent to end up on the turf, a lazy effort to end the 1st half - 0-0.
The second half saw a lot of blocking and an obvious cage which didn't move from its spot for a long time. 'Lethal...' managed to get the ball on the ground a few times and on their hands but couldn't stop the dwarf team from retrieving the ball and eventually score on the very last turn...
Well after a rough start in the league,courtesy of the Leporine Malefactors II, the hatchlings had recovered ad practised their play.
The 2 wounded dragon avatars had returned and although a bit worse for wear, they were up for the task.
First half saw the Hatchlings put some justice to the Justice and though 8! players were down in 1 round, they were not even scratched.
The ancient book of Searchonomicon sighed and remembered a day when magic was plentyfull and Dragons strong a mean.
He flipped its own pages and the resulting spell invigorated the Hatchling who then bashed their way through and knocking many players out or worse.
Fate however does not allow easy wins so the resulting failing blocks and runs tripped up a bit and the general chaos continued , adding to a nail biting end run of the first half where the catcher slipped on a banana peel and went face first to the ground.
Second half saw a wall of iron appear around the ball and the Justice put up a good fight but in the end the Hatchlings were able to score, though it was in the final round as the Spell of Enhancement that the Searchonomicon made the them loose track of time.
The brave blitzer dodged and handed off the ball and with a heavy weight on the chest the runner made the last roll of the game,a go for it...
Touchtdown!!
The Hatchlings were back in the competition and ready to rumble!.
The aftermath of the spell permanently enhance the blitzer and the crowd surfing slayer was kicked out of the team.
Failing twice to show up for the game due to "injuries" (read: counting his gold) was enough and the Searchonomicon banished him back to his lair while contacting a new dragon.
Tnx to RawMessiah for a great game and making me play to my best level.
