“XFL IX Dwarf - Semi-Final (Round 5)

With a lot at stake in this XFL Semi-Final, I was looking to my hitters to maintain their form from earlier rounds. I was dismayed to witness a paltry lone casualty in 90 blocks. Even so, it looked like a successful 2nd half was on the cards as the position was strong and surfs an option. A reroll to double skulls saved one dwarf before a dire series of turns let the Legion of Zhufbar get back to block the touchdown. The wizard did fizzle but it was likely moot as there was not enough time for Bazakastine to counter attack.

Overtime and 11 vs 11. However, in my over-confidence in scoring, I had used all my rerolls. Opening block, double skulls. It may not have been so bad but I'd not stood a single player up (which was most of the team after a pitch invasion). Then another double skulls a few turns later - surely game over? Somehow Harle Quarrybullion gets to the ball carrier. He eventually is knocked down but the 1D blocks had consumed Bazak's rerolls. Rather than let me try to knock the ball free, he goes for the touchdown and fails the go for it. Another failed pick up or two later and it's a coin toss, which goes the way of the Legion.

It was a good game but I compounded poor dice by playing as if they would not come, and as such feel this is an opportunity lost.”
