“Lustrian Challenge IV Swiss play-off round 2
Handicaps for cattle mutilaters:
Palmed Coin
Extra Training
Bribe the ref II
All Cattle nigglers show up for the game and Bavaria brings Ripper along for extra muscle to make up for their missing Chaos Warrior.

CM wins toss with plamed coin...choose to recieve. Bavaria having none of it Blitz! on the kickoff. They don't do any damage however, and their main touchdown threat Michael Klos trips over trying to get a tackle zone on the ball. CM insulted by the blitz start off niggling one beastman (apothecarried the niggle) and then niggling Mr. Klos off the field. For the next 5 turns CM continue to knock around the stronger Bavaria...and make the most of their bribe the ref with another good BH beastman for Bavaria. Turn 6 sees a major mistake by coach Malkor however in pushing the bribe too far...failing to hurt another beastman and T-Bone getting ejected from the game. Turn 7 sees Farmer Jed fail his block to make an opening...getting hurt in the process (regenned) and ruining CMs chance to score. Seeing that they've managed to keep the Cattle from scoring...Bavarias injury causing run begins. Fueled primarily by the now legendary (after getting 4 casualties in the match) Das Bier.
Now comes the start of the second half, and it looks like a cloud of nurgle flies hangs over the Cattle as none of their KOed players return leaving them 9 players, a third of them rookies, and no chaos warriors.
The one thing they do have...a good kicker. Gary Gnu comes out and punts a wonderful kick just shy of the endzone forcing Bavaria to shuffle back a little bit and take some extra time trying to move the ball downfield. The rookie chaos warrior grabs the ball easily enough...but his training must have had much to do with ball handling however as he just hangs back with it rather than trying to get to some form of protective cage. CaptainMalkor at this point shouts furiously at his team telling them to risk everything... the time is now or never... dodge down that field and get that ball. Oddly this works...his beastman channel their inner elves taking risk after risk dodging for blitzes, dodging to put down tackle zones. Even Farmer Jed does his part to tie things up by getting up again and again taking as much punishment as he can. More Cattle are injured but it's worth it as coach Malkor gets the miracle he is looking for. Rookie goat OKCorral dodges free of a dodg pile...singlehandedley Injures the goat Hopfen & Malz and manages to get on the ball carrier so he can be taken down. Two last turns of pushing around and Bavaria sees a last chance to score... a pass downfield to the waiting Gunter. Here Bavarias lack of ball handling skills costs then as the pass goes wide landing just out of reach of Gunter thus sealing the tie and Cattle Mutilater fans go crazy.
Or so we thought...Casualties and blood galore...yet no touchdowns and no one being favored by chaos sees both teams losing fans and earning little income for stars in the final swiss round.

In his post game interview CaptainMalkor had this to say..."I couldn't be more proud of my guys we came in and game em hell. We made our mistakes, sure. But we never gave up when others may have and though it seems the chaos gods aren't sure what to do with us yet...the mighty Nuffle was certainly smiling on us today. Thanks to him and some gritty rookies we're still in this thing and ready to give it all again in the next round. My thanks again to coach Spencer for a great hard fought game. Look forward to a rematch anytime. If it isn't going to be me in the finals I certainly hope it will be him instead so that Chaos can bring home the Lustrian Cup.”
