“A loss that feels bitter. Direct after the woodies had stolen the ball the stealing WD suffered a mng casualty, despite sending in the apo. However, the elven a turn later again managed to pick up the ball and ran away towards the endzone. Another turn later they could have scored, but chose to stall a turn - a fatal mistake as it turned out. The Goldlords managed to get next to the bc with some successful blocks and gfis, the woodies failed a +2 dodge with rr to block away the opposing player, and failed 2 more +2 rolls one turn later (after they once mored had managed to pick up the ball). And to add injury to insult a turn later a skilled lino was fatally wounded after being blocked.
H2 was less spectectular and the BBoDT, with wiz and ball possession still had all chances to win. But they made some ill-advised decisions, lost a few more players, wasted the wiz - and lost.
Immediately after the game key player Nuramon Wildfire, a truly gifted (+AG. +MA, guard, SB) wardancer that suffered a serious permanent injury (-ST) last season, announced his retirement. A difficult decision that is to be respected. However, it remains to be seen if BBoDT will ever regain the strenth and extraordinary abilities the team has demonstrated over the last two seasons.”
