“We were in a pickle early...of our three best players, one was sleeping in a wood, the other two were badly hurt on the first two blocks of the dwarven drive. They systematically reduced our numbers to only 3 standing before they scored first. Only 5 elves came to play next kick, but it was still enough given our speed and the leaping of our wardancers to go over the dwarven line to paydirt. Score: 1-1.

The dwarves did another concentrated drive to score before the half ended, adding a third bh to our injury tally. Things were looking grim...

But behold, second half appears, as does our treeman, and now all but our bh boys are back in action. A riot reduces the turns remaining to only 4, which actually works to the elven benefit as we can score and not leave the dwarves enough time to retake the lead. (I had little confidence we could stop them in a lengthy drive with my stars out.) We try to swing the ball around the right side of the pitch, only to run into an impenetrable wall of dwarves. I can't run through them, I'll have to go over, so I try to give the ball to my wardancer. Unbelievably, he fumbles it into the crowd, who then toss it out onto the pitch where no elves stand, just dwarves. My opponent was ecstatic, all elven fans groaned.

But behold, things weren't over yet. Through the magic of dodging elves and their superior speed, we're able to cluster around the ballcarrier enough to surround, but not knock over, him. This he does himself, trying to dodge away. From here it's a simple matter of getting an elf to the endzone, dodge another elf to the loose ball and toss it forward. Touchdown! Tie score! Draw!

Great game to play in, Kenmand knows how to handle his dwarves pretty well. If it wasn't for the riot, I'm sure he would've won. But I'll take a draw anyday vs dwarves, esp when I regain players missing a game, gain three skill rolls and don't incur any new injuries. Kudos!”
