“Jimjo's khemri look fairly menacing with all 4 tomb guardians skilled up to MB and both blitz-ra's equipped with MB + PO; let's hope we can weather the hits here!

We receive first and by T2 both sides are locked in a punchup in the centre of the field, with neither getting the upper hand. By T5 a mummy and a centaur are in the KO box and our DP has been sent off on his first foul of the game. They crowd in around the ball carrier and we're forced into a desperate move- dodging backwards and then making the short pass to an unmarked dwarf... who catches it and runs for the endzone... but trips up on a GFI!

They pick it up with a blitz-ra but we're able to 2d him over straight away, but cannot recover the ball. We take a BH and a KO and the half ends.

Their mummy wakes up while our centaur stays KO'd so we have 9 vs their full squad as we kick - this doesn't look good!

And we make things worse on T2 when a miscount of squares after a blitz leaves our bull centaur by the sideline... thought he had one more square of GFI left! They duly crowdpush him for a BH and the came is sealed. We desperately set up a 1d blitz on the thro-ra with the ball, KO'ing him, but at the cost of getting two hobgobs crowdpushed the following turn. Our only hope is failed pickups, but their blitz-ra grabs it first time and with 5 players left there's nothing we can do.

They almost hand us the draw out of nowhere by trying to hand off to a tomb guardian on T6 (5+) and use their last reroll failing it. Just two turns to make that 4+ pickup with a blitz-ra now... they fail the first one... but make it on T8. Blast!!
