The Ironforge Chronicle Late Edition

Hugged To Death!

BloodBowl is taking Ironforge by storm! That's the assesment of the coach of Ironforge Is My Home after 64,000 screaming fans packed the Ironforge Stadium to see The Forgers take on some Elfs. Cynics suggested it was the possibility of more deaths on the field that inspired the crowds to quit their usual pursuits of PVPing and scamming the Auction House. Whatever the truth, the fans saw deaths and The Forgers lose their 100% win record.

The first half saw the Elfs receive the kick off and frustrate The Forgers by slipping away from their tackles and staying out of harms way to score. In Turn 4 Bimble Longberry seemed to have killed Good Grief, but somehow the Elf's apothecary managed to revive him. All the while the Lucky Punk teased the Dwarfs, staying just out of range next to their endzone. There would be no quick touchdown from these Elfs.
In Turn 6 Lucky Punk set up Master Slayer for an easy TD on their next turn, as The Forgers remained frustrated and outnumbered in the midfield and too far away to apply any real pressure to the ball.

The half ended with the Elf's 1-0 up thanks to that easy TD, which they had worked hard for and made some good positional play. The Forgers were despondent at half time, but knew they had a numerical advantage in the second half, despite having Thurgrum Deepforge sent off for an ineffective foul.

The second half saw The Forgers receiveing the ball but underestimating the Elf's counter attack. 10v7 in The Forgers favour, but they hadn't reckoned on the high-flying Lucky Punk who dodged, leapt, dodge, blitzed the underprotected Brette Goldfury and picked up the ball in acres of space. What a move, easily the best seen so far at The Ironforge Stadium. The Elfs scored slightly faster this time, with Little Devil being set up for the simplest of TDs in Turn 3. 2-0 to the Elfs, and The Forgers fans far from happy.

The Elf Team set up very deep, hoping to keep out of harms way, while The Forgers contemplated if they had the legs to score two TDs in 5 turns.
A great foul from Bruuk Barleybeard and Pffffft was being scrapped off the ground. This time with no Apothecary to help, he stayed dead. Meanwhile Brette Goldfury was making unopposed progress to his second career TD in Turn 7.

The Forgers were slightly worried about conceding a third but managed to hold off the Elfs.
After the game Brette Gold, voted fans player of the game, said "Its always good to score, but I'm gutted the team didn't win. To score in such a game means very little as it's the team's performance that matters most. It was a tough game today, and we felt sick at conceding the second TD but fair play to that Lucky Punk, that was some vintage Blood Bowl. At least we got to a few of their players, and we've hopefully learnt some valuable lessons.".
