“Our orcses face karlson's khemri. Should be a bloody battle! They get a single handicap of bribe the ref to ensure it is :P

We kick deep but this doesn't faze their thro-ra who calmly picks it up at their endzone and passes to a blitz-ra on the LOS.. a 6+ pass and 4+ catch that they make with ease!! On turn two they burn up our apo saving a niggle on a blitzer and start pushing through. It looks like we may be able to contain them, until they make a crazy accidental dodge with a mummy that then lets them open up the way for their blitz-ra. We go for a riskyish 2d block with our mummy that would let us at him, but have to go both-down for a turnover. They follow this up with a KILLING blow on our -av block/guard black orc and run the ball downfield. We just about manage a max range 1d blitz that knocks over the blitz-ra, then spend a couple turns falling over (and getting a block/guard black orc -AV'd... ouch!) before we eject the blitz-ra from the stands and steal the ball. We go for a (very unlikely) T8 touchdown attempt, but drop the final -2 catch roll and the half ends 0-0.

We just manage to field 11 for the second half with a triple recovery from the KO box while they have a mummy missing. We're having a lot of str trouble with 2 black orcs in the cas box and mess up our first turn quite badly, though make up for it slightly on turn 2 when our DP puts one of their MB/guard blitz-ras in the MNG box with a 2d block! Eventually we (barely) manage to get the ball upfield to our waiting gobbo, though he fails the catch. They can only get a skeleton next to him and we're able to make things safe by containing the few other khemri around while pushing more players through to the ball. We go for our first foul of the game on T15, scoring a KILL on their blitz-ra though he sadly regens, before making it 1-0 on T16.

GG karlson!”
