“Fellowship of the Ring:

Today we faced one of the most fearsome Necromatic teams and the winds swirled around in a most preplexing way. This promised to be a game that would be unlike others we had fought, for something odd was afoot. Indeed, our team that normally plays very well together as a team had a squabble and Captain Ar-Surin and Fang both bickered at one another (this worked out as Captain Ar-Surin played the first half then was KOed and stayed out the rest of the game allowing Fang to play until he was fouled to the BH box). In addition, what passed for law enforcement believed that our guard linemen was guilty of eying a female zombie in an lusty way and was detained for questioning. Ack, what a start!

We took the opening kickoff (after opponent started with a blitz) and drove down the field...we had a chance to surf their dirty player - but 4 2d blocks failed to get a push (but a double skull forced use of turnover, and another double skull/pow caused a turnover). The battle to surf someone finally worked, with Captain Teresa being tossed into the crowd after she badly hurt the enemy ghoul. In the end we scored and fouled out the best opponent's wolf (KOed, but like our blitzer, stayed out the rest of the game). 1-0 at halftime.

In the second half, we kicked off and continue to go back and forth. Halfway through the 2nd half, the necros made a push through a narrow opening and were in the clear. Baby Gutsplitter they ignored...after all the previous two turns he had just stood there staring off into space. However, Gutsplitter fooled them! He blitzed towards the wolf with the ball (using a BT dodge of 3+) to knock down the wolf - the ball went into the crowd and the wolf was badly hurt. Unfortunately the crowd tossed the ball downfield right next to our goal line...the game was in the balance. We used our last RR to position our last guy the best we could...but the necro's wight dodged away from the ogre, made a 2d blitz and picked up the ball on the goal line...had used RR to dodge...so gfi with no RR for the TD? The wight pauses on the goalline...and GUTSPLITTER!! The ogre makes another dodge, 2 gfi and smashs the wight to the ground to the roar of the crowd...the ball is free and Blaze grabs it and sprints down the field...the slow fleeted zombies could not catch up and a toss ahead to Captain Samantha gave a 2-0 victory in a game that was an inch from being a draw!

Well played! Until next time!”
