“Gem of Witchcraft:

This game appeared lost before it really got underway. Virus knocked out 3 players and morley's revenge hit 3 non-niggled players...so we only had 7 players to start the game...and with some BH, that number only decreased as the game progressed.

On the opening kickoff, the chaos blitzed and the ball landed on the LOS...a chaos warrier was able to make the 5+ catch...then we rolled snake eyes for our first action. Very quickly, it was 1-0 in favor of the legion. On offense, we were able to make a bit of noise however and scored with relative ease to tie things up...but with the legion receiving to start the second half, we knew that we needed to push the action before halftime. We got a blitz ourselves and did push the action. Hoaever, snake eyes on our pickup attempt (used our only RR) and then a 1 on the pickup attempt the next turn and things looked grim...however the legion was stumbling around as well...and we managed to finally make a pickup and raced into the endzone to go up 2-1.

In the second half, the legion received and started to cage up. However, their chaos warrier with the ball made a block and rolled skull/pow and did not want to spend their last re-roll...after a pair of 2d blocks to bounce the ball around, it went in a kind direction for the Akra and soon enough we were into the endzone for a 3-1 lead. The legion drove down the field and it was error after error. First on T15 they rolled snake eyes on a block. Then on our first block of T15, we rolled snake eyes. Then on their first block of T16 they rolled snake eyes...then on our first action of T16, we failed a 2+ dodge.

We wonder what the crowd thought of that one!!”
