#2 Redhoof the Mighty – Dead (RIP) #11 Kilgor – Dead (RIP) #15 Redhorn the Stunty – Broken Neck (-AG) #16 Elric Stormflinger – Dead (RIP)
“In a reassuring demonstration of fanaticism, 80,000 fans showed up in the pouring raid to watch the chaotic match-up of the season - The Engine of Chaos vs. Entropic Executives.
Unfortunately for the fans, Engine star Taniwha comes down with a virus that spreads throughout the team and stops Najaki from participating at all as it aggravates his existing 'dicky ticker'.
It's the kickoff, and the Engine is receiving the wet and slippery ball! There's much shoving and pushing, and a complete lack of any ability to pick up the ball. Finally after much in the way of incompetence on the part of the Engine when it comes to anything even vaguely resembling ball-handling skills, Freeman of the Executives makes a break for it, dodging away from the Engine and leaving them sprawled in the mud as he runs to the end-zone in the last seconds of the half. As the half ends, the sun breaks through the clouds and the rain clears from the astro-granite
The second half starts with the Executives receiving, and Taniwha throwing off his viral infection of the pinky long enough to get back on the field. While there is a distressing lack of casualties except to their own side when Pyschotic Bob gets mashed into the ground, the Engine show their skill in closing down the opposing team and force a series of errors on the Executives that ends with Redhoof the Mighty dodging to pick up the ball, and sprinting to the end zone to level the score at 1 all!
Yet again, the Executives receive the ball and march towards the end-zone. A fireball at ground zero fails to stop the ball carrier, but where pyrotechnics fail, Redhoof does not as he blitzes the ball carrier to save a possible scoring opportunity - this comes at a heavy price though. Moments afterwards the entire Executive team rises in rage and kill Redhoof, Elric, and Kilgor and cripple poor, defenseless, homicidal maniac Redhorn. The whistle blows on a pyrrhic almost-victory for the Engine - maimed and shocked by loosing the only player on the team even remotely good at picking up the ball and running with it, it's safe to say that most commentators are speculating that their season may well be over before it even really begins.”
“"We had this in the bag! In the BAG! Do I have to show you goons how to do everything? Am I the only one on the team who can pick up a ball?"
--Mr. Laffey, Global Strategist, Entropy Inc.
"I don't know what he's complaining about. I made the decision to score, and score I did."
--Mr. Freeman, Alanytics Officer, Entropy Inc.
"It would be easier to pick up the ball without all this greasy blood on my hands!"
--Mr. Biggs, Chief Science Officer, Entropy Inc.
"Tell me about it! Oh...and look at my SHIRT! This stuff will NEVER come out! My wife is going to kill me!"
--Mr Marlow, Chief Information Officer, Entropy Inc.
*mildly sips his coffee*
--Bob, Unconfirmed Position, Entropy Inc.
"All in all a good showing for these guys. We held up well and managed to score once at least. Picking up the ball was another matter entirely, and I think we may have come away with a win if we'd been able to pick up the kick off in the second half. The bad injuries all came in the final few turns which was unfortunate for them, but Chaos Engine did very well despite their distinct lack of re-rolls. I'm hoping they'll save their revenge for some squishy elves later in the season."
--Coach Yabbernox ”
