“I was worried about this match up and rightly so. A large dose of good fortune was required to save the play and take the lead on my drive, having had my team reduced by the bashing skills of the chaos dwarves - only to stage a comeback of our own with a few timely KOs and the only injury we managed to inflict on Zharr-Naggrund Cowboys. Deadly Melody single handedly brought down a bull and survived several hits, before dodging away to score.

With Tarabaralla content to roll a cage that we were ill equipped to break - both opportunities failing, including Buddhist Palm knocking himself out on a go for it for the 2nd attempt. This was more than Zharr-Naggrund Cowboys were accomplishing as Deadly Melody fended off the claws of Oreste Maglio and a lot of pushing slowed down the maul. Eventually the pressure told and we incurred knockouts and - thank Nuffle - hurt players, but the loss of Buddhist Palm proved to be key.

A timely riot meant there was one last ditch opportunity to sneak a winner, but when Bone failed to push back the bull marker, the attention was just too much even for Deadly Melody, who fell in the attempts to dodge through for an unlikely - and undeserved - winner. Had Buddhist Palm been available, instead of suffering from his self inflicted knockout, we probably would have executed the perfect pickpocket victory.”
