“In the fifth round of the NWL Fringe Division, the ever improving Klan'agh da'Baers met up against the undefeated Servitors. While the orcs dropped their first two games, they had tied their third and won their last one. Knowing that they faced a powerful team, da'Baers also hired Ripper Blogrot to give them even more of a strength advantage. The Servitors, on the other hand, were relying on the scoring potential of their team, averaging 2.75 TD's per game this season.

The orcs received the kickoff and ran straight into a perfect defense... but that didn't daunt them. With the power of Ripper, and the black orcs, they began to shove around the Servitors. Despite this the Servitors' Taltos struck first, surfing a black orc into the crowd where the orc was injured. As da'Baers slowly gained control of the line of scrimmage, ball handling issues became a problem. A dropped quick pass created an opening for Taltos and Icetouch. Icetouch almost killed McBride (saved by the apothecary) and there was a fierce fight over the ball. Taltos eventually came up with it and sprinted for the end zone, only to be caught and tripped up as he tried to get away. The orcs recovered, but tripped as well as they tried to get into position to make a pass to score. With time almost out, Taltos got up, shoved a defender out of the way and planted himself open, in the end zone. Kallas slipped away from the massive melee, snagged the ball and tossed it toward Taltos, only to see his passing skills fail him once more, ending the half scoreless.

The second half began with the Servitors now facing a perfect defense from da'Baers. Timing issues plagued the Servitors as well this half, as the ghouls tripped up over almost anything and the available opportunities became fewer and fewer. The orcs gleefully took full advantage of the situation, almost going berserk as they KO'd or injured 6 players in short order, including both wights. From that point it was just a matter of being careful for the orcs, as they had the numbers and strength to stop almost anything the Servitors could do, leading to an easy score by Briggs. With little time remaining, the Servitors lined up to make one last, desperate attempt to tie the game. However, with the first ghoul attempting a relatively easy dodge through the orcs' front line and tripping immediately the game ended quickly after that.

A well played game from coach Catalyst32! Additionally, this was the first time in quite a while that someone has fielded a star player against me. All too often my teams fall out of contention early or are considered "weak enough" to face unaided. Thank you for the compliment!”
