“First game of the first season in the Norscan Survivalist League for both teams.

Vampires chose to kick, and kicked the ball to the rat blitzer who has surprisingly caught the ball. Not wanting to give it away, he ran away here and there with it. Meanwhile two fighting crowds emerged on two sides of the field. Another rat blitzer caught a great hit from one of the vampires and was carried away with a smashed ankle. The mighty ogre tried to push a vampire in the crowd but couldn't do it. Then rats tried to get the ball in, but the Vampires have intercepted the attempt and got away with the ball, though rats did regain it quickly. At the last minute, the ogre has killed a thrall who closed the way for the catcher, but a failed pass has finished the half with zero score.

Next half the vampires pulled a lucky hit against the ogre right from the start. With their team almost intact they pushed steadily through, while rats managed to roll nothing but pushes (only once did a lowly lineman roll a POW on a one-die block and killed Ulrik - a nice trophy!). The situation looked bleak enough until a vampire fell down during a GFI, opening a way to the ball carrier. Rats got him down, and then a runner showed some great sneaking past the thralls to get the ball. Unfortunately he didn't get too far, and was brought down in the last turn. With the game decided, the rats tried to get some trophies, ending the game on a cheerful both down - both badly hurt.
