“A pretty lucky result in the end for Trapdoor, with some desperate defence in overtime preventing a winning touchdown.

Blitzing Dragons won the toss and elected to receive. Both sides were packing stars, with Count Luther showing up for the undead and Sillibilli making an appearance for the lizards. It was pouring with rain, which was to prove a bit of a problem during normal time.

The ball went straight out and cealisson opted to give it to an unskilled saurus. That proved to be a mistake though as the Count used his hypnotic gaze to break open the cage and a mummy eventually scragged the saurus. The ball was eventually secured by Huachipato who made his way up the pitch.

I was able to badly hurt the blodging skink and KO a saurus and things looked good for Trapdoor.

The second half was a bit of a reversal. The wet weather meant I struggled to pick up the pig skin and had to burn a reroll as skinks closed in. A couple of risky handoffs in the wet worked out, with the use of a reroll, but I was heavily out numbered as the saurus blocking began to take it's effect. Sillibilli eventually knocked over my ball carrier deep in my half and I had a last ditch attempt to used hypno gaze and get a blitz on the skink, but the Count failed the dodge. 1-1.

We moved to overtime and I had to kick again. The weather changed to nice, which wasn't nice for the undead, and off we went again with no rerolls. And this is where the count more than earned his wage packet. Despite being men down as a mummy was KOd and I suffered two casualties (which regen'd), the count was able to either dodge into tackle zones or hypno gaze supporters out of the way, allowing my tackle wight to knock over the skink ball carrier three times.

The Count even stole the ball at one point, but was successfully knocked over with a two dice block.

Coach cealisson finally ran out of dice attempting a turn 8 winner when his skink dropped the ball and so it went to the dreaded coin toss. This time Trapdoor emerged the winners, but suffered a FF drop and poor winnings in their next game against a chaos team.

GG cealisson, I thought I was done for at several stages in overtime.”
